Critics' Reviews

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
A movie that taps directly back into the show's primal appeal, which is the sweet, sad, saucy delight of sharing these women's company.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Carina Chocano
Can't rightly be called a romantic comedy in the dismal, contemporary sense, though it is at times romantic and is consistently very funny. It's also emotionally realistic, even brutal.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
The four women couldn't be better - or better matched. As always, Parker is the standout, cracking your heart and cracking you up with equal ease.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
Amid the style, sass and sexiness is plenty of sentimentality, especially at the satisfying conclusion.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Ann Hornaday
It's less a movie than a delivery system for sensory pleasures, sunny romance and designer-label stuff that in real life would result in diabetic shock (or at least a ruined credit rating).Read Full Review »

ROLLING STONE: Peter Travers
Writer-director Michael Patrick King, the creative force behind the show's later seasons, can't disguise the fact that the movie is basically five TV episodes strung together (only three hit the mark). But his script is more honest about aging than anything in "Indy 4."Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Wesley Morris
For the moment, King has restored women to their rightful place in a genre that is nothing without them. But, sadly, that genre isn't romantic comedy. It's the chick flick.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Ella Taylor
Though Sex and the City is every bit as busy as its HBO progenitor was, it's virtually plotless, not to mention pointless.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
Here is a 145-minute movie containing one (1) line of truly witty dialogue: "Her 40s is the last age at which a bride can be photographed without the unintended Diane Arbus subtext."Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
For those who do not consider themselves to be among the Sex and the City faithful, this is a painful experience, perhaps the longest 148 minutes likely to be spent in a movie theater this year. Watching grass grow is more dramatically satisfying.Read Full Review »
