This is like a horror movie for men.

I had to downgrade my original rating. In my early 20s I loved this film, but now I see some glaring issues that become apparent with maturity. The film is entertaining enough, but feeds on the typical melodramatic stereotypes of shallow romcoms that the original show tried to destroy. Samantha's storyline of choosing to be true to herself is probably the only thread still linking this generic cheese fest to the superior characterization of the small screen. Some things didn't age well. I had to pause for a bit to figure out what was wrong with Sam's tummy - still looking. Carrie accusing Miranda of ruining her marriage was just rich too. Women (Carrie, Miranda, even Louise from St. Louis) who must forgive men who jilt them is the kind of backwards empowerment message I have to scratch my head at. I feel like the show that gave so much power and freedom to women, destroyed all that progress with toxic and immature romance drama of the movie. It's not horrible, but it is disappointing to the fans.

it's so so long I watched in 3 parts. this is bullshit. do something better with your time.

Wow, what a way to ruin the great ending the series had…

Gosh. Even if you liked the TV show and think that's season 7 (and it kind of *is* a final season), this is really hard to watch. Doesn't work as a movie. Everything what's wrong with the TV show is amplified in this movie. Even worse, it's boring most of the time. Only the Chinese girl, Magda and the dogs are adorable. Plus, they allow an actual black person to say something meaningful. I hate that they seem to have invested about 50% of the additional budget into make-up and hair. The girls look unreal - not in a good way. It's worse than the TV show.
