Even though Sex and the City's finale happened over four years ago, Miranda, Charlotte, Samantha and Carrie have never really left the airwaves. And no, I don't mean just in syndication on TBS, WGN or the CW, but in many series that have copied their formula (Lipstick Jungle, Cashmere Mafia, Noah's Arc, Girls Club, etc.) and haven't lived up to the original. Even now, networks are still trying to harness that lightning-in-a-bottle type momentum Sex and the City originally garnered. Seriously, how was a movie NOT in the works?

This movie, obviously, is for fans of the show. And honestly, that's how this review is biased. Normally, I try not to review a movie and give spoilers, but rather, I try to talk around the movie. It's not really possible here, for you'd have to have watched the show to get probably 60% of what's going on, from the girls' character quirks to why they drink Cosmopolitans. If you haven't seen the show, then you might want to check out a few episodes (Buzzsugar gives a good list), then come back and read this. Otherwise, the cat will be out of the bag. Or the Blahnik out of the box. Whatever works for you.
