Only girls will enjoy this one.

Even though I have never seen the TV series, I had neither high nor low expectations for this because not only hadn't I seen the series but nobody in my family and not many of my friends have seen the Sex And The City series. I needed to watch this film because it was a summer blockbuster and try it out. Before I saw it and when it was already released, I have recieved mixed opinions from alot of people. Particularly whether I needed to see the series before I saw the film. When I watched it, I must say that you don't need to see the series before the film. As far as I'm concerned it is just another romantic-comedy blockbuster. 2007 was an amazing year for films. Probably the best year for films this decade but it had a fairly weak share of summer blockbusters apart from Ratatouille, Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, Simpsons Movie, Transformers and Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End. But in 2008, there haven't been any blockbusters that have disappointed me that badly. This film made me laugh because of the bringing together between the characters or the breaking down between the characters. I did think that it was a bit too long. I think that they could have cut a few scenes in it which could have cut at least 15 minutes. It was still a really good and clever film to watch. Most of the time, when a film is adapted from a TV series is quite bad but this isn't one of them. Will look forward to the sequel.


I liked Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw because at over 40 years old, she still has that gorgeous, sexy and irresistable charm. She still has that so she can get with different men and have sex with them. It is pretty much the same with her other friends. Parker's performance is one that people would expect to be the same because of the TV series and she would be used to the character by now since 1996 when the TV started and ended in 2004.


The direction made this film like a TV programme more than a film because of the type of comedy involved which is why I find Sex And The City like comedy show Friends. It is like an long episode from the TV series. It was written like a TV series writer would write it. It had very light flaws but most of it was awesome. All I can say to finish this review is that this is a fun comedy that everybody should at least try. It isn't no masterpiece but it is a fun piece of entertainment.
