Well before giving my review, I just want to say that I'm straight! And I do like romantic comedies (as long as they're not excessively girly e.g. 13 going on 30!). So this is a straight guy's perspective and not a gay one who went to see the "fabulous" designs!
As a SATC fan, I really loved the movie, and I thought it DELIVERED! The acting was superb, the 4 main stories (each character having one) were very unique but yet very harmonious and WELL resolved. SJP's narration was as always v. deep and witty, Samantha remains to be the life of the party (by far the funniest and uninhibited), Charlotte: living in lala land but deadly sweet; and Miranda (my favorite) the most human and the warmest.
The movie can be described as a light hearted romantic comedy, with some "intense" scenes . I don't want to spoil the movie, but seriously guys or gals SJP's and Charlotte's performance in those "dramatic" scenes were Oscar worthy, dare I say! The only 2 things I didn't care for in the movie were a certain comment/joke about Mexico that I felt was borderline offensive (even though I'm not Latino or Mexican) and unnecessary (even though kinda funny); and the other thing was Samantha's fiancé. He was totally totally different from SATC the series, and his issue with Samantha was not very well resolved.
I thought the love scenes were too much and too crude! (They actually showed a guy's full frontal!!!). So if anyone's conservative well you may want to watch the cut version! The movie deserves a solid 8.5/10, and is definitely worth the time and money! Oh and speaking about time, try not to over hydrate urselves cuz the movie is toooo long (2 h 15 m). You wouldn't want to miss a minute to go pee!
