The only thing good about this movie were the beautiful costumes/outfits. Otherwise, I am still trying to figure out why this movie was even made. I watched it once and I refuse to watch it again because in my mind, I like to pretend it never happened. I prefer to think of SATC finally ending with the 1st movie. This was like a bad dream. While watching this, I felt that everything we grew to love about these women was a lie. This movie was a waste of time and money. If the writers and creators thought it was good enough to satisfy the fans constant request demanding more, they were wrong. If this mess was made to make fans stop begging for more, I think it worked!

I have probably seen this movie more times than I can count. I have it on DVD and I still watch it when it is on T.V. I watched all of the SATC episodes as they aired, just as a true fan would. When the series ended, I felt there could have been so much more and this movie finally provided it. On occasion, my girlfriends and I still gather with snacks and wine to watch this. The best thing about SATC is that they understand what a normal woman goes through. This movie will make you laugh, cry and feel all other kinds of emotions. The soundtrack is great and the outfits, as always, are amazing. You can tell that the great Patricia Field designed these ladies outfits to reflect how much they have grown. My only critique on this film is Jennifer Hudson. I feel her part in this movie was not a good fit. Her acting was blah and over done. She tried too hard and it backfired. Obviously she went on to win an Oscar because she is a good actress, but in this movie, she wasn't. Maybe she received training after this film, but they missed the mark with her here. Other than that, it's a great movie that provides the missing dose of SATC fans were waiting for.

Let me start by saying I adore the late Aaliyah. For her first role, she did a pretty good job. She played the part well and this part was made for her. However, I enjoyed the soundtrack more than the movie itself. Not saying it was a horrible movie, it was just OK. I wish the fight scenes were more authentic. You could tell they were choreographed. When I watch a movie like this, I want it to look like people are really fighting each other. I also felt that Jet Li and Aaliyah lacked in the chemistry department. Sure, they look good together as friends and/or partners in crime, but nothing more and I mean nothing. Anything beyond that seemed forced. I actually felt the entire cast lacked in chemistry. There were a couple of twists that were unexpected and the plot was OK, but nothing to really knock your socks off. It is entertaining if nothing else is on TV, or if you just want to watch the beautiful Aaliyah in action. For me, it is a bit nostalgic for that reason. Also, I was still a teenager when this came out and this was the movie to watch at that time. Again, not the worst movie, but not the best. I will admit that I have probably watched this at least 5 times. Sometimes, I just can't say no because although it is not perfect, it is still entertaining.
