From AICN, [excerpt] In fact, it only seems to reinforce what I never liked about Sex and the City to begin with. They’re not flirty and single because it’s so hard to find a good man. It’s because they’re all completely self-obsessed, neurotic, high maintenance divas. And I found each and every one of them thoroughly unlikable. There’s a workaholic neglectful wife who commits the sin of all marital sins – uttering the phrase “Would you please finish.” There’s the oversexed nymphomaniac who is in a long-term relationship with the perfect guy, but is getting bored because she wants to bang other people. Oh, and no one’s ever mentioned the swinger lifestyle to her, despite her living in LA. And being in the movie business. Then there’s the girl who used to be the most neurotic of them all, but now has the perfect life. Married, kids and utterly nothing to do in this movie. Then there’s our glib narrator, the woman who makes a living writing about the adventures of the other three. And while the narration might have worked as a tool to string together stories in an episodic format in the show, her incessant droning will make you want to but your shoe through the screen time and again.
FOR TWO AND A HALF MIND NUMBING HOURS.

I can't imagine any situation in which I'd ever see this movie.
I'm with you, landshark!
Ic an think of one situation but it involves bizarre sexual consequences after sitting through it.
I've actually watched a handful of SITC episodes, since I was once the houseguest of someone who was a fan. What galled me the most about it wasn't the chichi posturing or the shrillness but the downright pedestrian quality of it all. I feel like the fans of this kind of thing deserve something better.
