As the world's biggest and most loyal SATC fan, some of you may be shocked that I knocked off the fifth star... I did this for a reason, because if this first movie had been excellent then there would not have been room for improvement - SATC2!!!! The first foray into cinema for SATC made a bold move by stepping away from the notoriously camp and slightly screwball comic overtones of the series. Returning to the lives of the famous foursome it showed 40 and 50 year old women and the realities of what life had in store for them - from marriage to infidelity and truly understanding who you are. I believe the writers/producers King, Melfi and Starr pulled it off with panache, and the cast proved themselves capable of both great wit and great insight. Sex and the City: The Movie is an important chapter in the lives of these four women, with it's successor Sex and the City 2 providing the 'joie de vivre' antidote to the mostly sombre tone. I love Sex and the City!!!
