Sex and the City - The Movie (Special Edition)

Editorial Review:

Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 09/23/2008 Rating: R

As light and frothy as the Vivienne Westwood wedding gown that's an unofficial fifth star, the film version of Sex and the City is both captivatingly stylish and sweetly sentimental. Viewers who loved hanging with Carrie Bradshaw and her three pals during the series' TV run will feel as though no time has passed. Except that it has: Carrie and Big are poised to make a Big Commitment; Miranda and Steve are facing the breakup of their wonderful family; Charlotte and Harry have added to their brood; and Samantha (are we sitting down?) has been devoted to hunky Smith for five full years. Still, in all that time, the women's style, conviviality, and appetite for bons mots have only grown. When practical attorney Miranda learns that Carrie is considering moving in with Big (in possibly the coolest apartment in Manhattan), she can't help but frown in that but-you-might-lose-everything way. Carrie's retort: "For once, can't you feel what I want you to feel--jealous?!" The cast is spot-on, as always. Sarah Jessica Parker is effortless as the angst-ridden yet practical, stylish yet vulnerable Carrie. Kim Cattrall is deliciously decadent as Samantha, but she's wiser now and knows herself and her needs for a real relationship. Kristin Davis, as Charlotte, has quietly become the most gorgeous among the beauties, her sleek presence both winsome and sophisticated. And Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) shows nuance as a woman torn between betrayal and grudging hope. Supporting roles include Candice Bergen as the Vogue editor who anoints Carrie "The Last Single Girl in New York," and Jennifer Hudson, as a starry-eyed, ambitious romantic who represents the new generation of SATC women. Through it all, New York is a benevolent cocoon that envelopes and nurtures the women and their friendships and careers. No matter that none of them appears to have any semblance of "real" family; as long as they have each other, and Manhattan, all will be right with their world. --A.T. Hurley

Great Movie:

I am a huge fan of the SATC show so I was a bit worried when they announced they were making a movie but it ended up being great. I am starting to think that they can do no wrong, but who knows. The movie follows where the show left off to an extent except it is a few years later. I thought that it was well done and would recommend it to anyone who liked the show or to anyone who wants a refreshing chick movie.

Sex and The City Rocks!:

This movie is clearly one of a kind. If you loved the show and never missed an epidose, or if you dont even know who Carrie is YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE. It takes you through every emotion possible. The fashion is unremarkable!!! The movie leads you wanting more!

Great service -- as always:

The movie was great -- I expected that. But I always continue to be impressed by the level of service offered by Amazon.com. I believe this DVD arrived in my mailbox on the same date it was released in stores!!! I am so happy that Amazon has expanded beyond books, media, etc. I buy almost everything there!

So much Fun:

This was so much fun to watch with my friends and a collector's item. The additional scenes and commentary were so interesting.
