highly recommended

Coming from a husband of a wife who just adores "Sex and the City", I enjoyed it a lot!

SEX AND THE CITY THE MOVIE was definitely a highly anticipated film of 2008. A lot of my female friends and guy friends are fans of the HBO television series and even my wife was so hardcore that she and her female friends would have viewing parties every night the new episodes were shown.

For me, I've always enjoyed the series for it's in-depth look at love and relationships via the women's perspective, as much as I loved BBC America's look at love and relationships via the comedy "Coupling".

The series definitely took on a variety of topics, especially of how it related to the characters and the topics of love and sex were just hilarious, emotional and overall uplifting.

With the highly anticipated film reuniting the women four years since the series, we see Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), who has three successful books on love and still dating and very much love with Mr. Big (Chris Noth). The two are in the next step of their relationship about to move into an awesome apartment with an awesome closet but most of all, the two finally ready to tie the knot.

Samantha (Kim Cattrall) living in Hollywood to manage her model/boyfriend's career and missing New York City. Samantha is missing her former life of having fun and being the center of attention.

For Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Charlotte and husband are still happy and raising their adoptive daughter.

And Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), very busy with her job as a lawyer and as a parent but at the same time, somewhat neglecting her wife duties.

Without spoiling the storylines for each of these women, throw in some major wrenches to the lives of these women and you definitely get one sensational story about love, finding love, losing love and most of all to see the friendships of these four women tested.

Like the show, you get beautiful scenes of New York City and the beautiful settings. Also, the interesting and at times outlandish but most of the time elegant fashion courtesy of costume designer Patricia Field. Also, the musical setting of hearing Mairi Campbell's "Auld Lange Syne" to Run DMC's "Walk this Way" and various music as it plays an emotional and enjoyable setting for the various segments of the film.

But what makes this movie work is the well written storyline by Michael Patrick King who knows how to really balance each of the women's storylines but effectively writes a film that not only will women enjoy it but also men.

I have to give credit to another woman on the show who actually plays a significant role on the film. Jennifer Hudson's character as an assistant to Carrie Bradshaw definitely added a cool character component as a woman also looking for love in New York City, rents her designer bags but most of all, how she helps Carrie through a difficult time.

Nearly every character from the TV series had such an important role although I was surprised Stanford (Willie Garson) didn't have that many lines.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

There are various versions of this DVD from the two-disc set and also the Blu-Ray editions which feature may special features. This widescreen edition only features director's commentary by Michael Patrick King.

"SEX AND THE CITY: THE MOVIE" works on all levels. Perhaps, maybe moreso for fans of the TV series who are familiar of the background of the women and also the supporting characters.

But everything comes together...the storyline, the setting, the fashion, the music...everything that the series is known for, you see it in a much extravagant form in this film.

An enjoyable film that is easily a must-own for "Sex and the City" fans.

Love this movie!

I have watched this movie about 4 time since I got it (which wasnt that long ago). If you have a wide screen tv, don't get the full screen movie.

You won't be disappointed

Even if you didn't watch the tv series, you will really enjoy this movie. The women are still their awesome selves, the clothes are off the charts and then there is The City! What a great representation this movie gives of NYC. Just plan to enjoy the movie a lot!

Almost!

The movie is fun, especially for long-time fans. There are many layers - it was nice to watch it at home and let it all sink in. I bought the Blu-Ray version of the film - while there's no denying that it looks great, the extras weren't as exciting as touted in the description. There's barely any additional footage - deleted scenes or otherwise and there's still no explanation of Stanford's paltry storyline. Also, no "cutting room floor" extras of the rumored Aiden storyline. I was expecting a lot more, but still enjoyed the actual film. You aren't missing anything by purchasing the DVD version, as far as I can tell. And you'll save a few bucks!
