Firstly, I just want to say that I'm not anti Sex and the City. I've never been a huge fan, but I have no problems with the show and will happily sit down and watch an episode occasionally. So a few months ago I recorded the Sex and the City movie, but hadn't quite got around to watching it- primarily because it's nearly 2 and a half hours long.
After I had recorded the movie, I read a couple of reviews. They were really rather scathing, and I became a little concerned about how good this was going to be - which prevented me from watching the movie for another month or so.
And I hate to say it, but they were right. This is a (bad) half an hour episode of Sex and the City (at a push it could be stretched to an hour and a half movie), spread out over an agonising two and a half hours. The sole message of the movie seems to be that life without a man is, if not completely impossible, really rather hard- but also that, a lot of the time, men are jerks. There is nothing here to redeem the movie, or make it palatable in any sense. It's not just a dull movie, it's also mean and, well, wrong. It's put me off watching any more Sex and the City for some time.
Rating: 1 out of 5
