OK, so I am about 3 years out of date on this but still. Just been chatting on another thread about how the bit when Carrie says 'and then I got to thinking...' and you see her type some inane crap.

HATE HATE HATE the film with a vengeance.

It's so fluffy and crap. I don't even get the excitement about the clothes.

Carrie - an explosion in a boutique.
Samantha - Stacey Slater's market stall clothes
Miranda - Next suits
Charlotte - Boden.

It was amusing in the early days when DH and I would sit there saying 'WTF is she wearing this week' but I find her voice-overs embarrassing. She is supposd to be a grown-up woman who can hold down a high-powered job in competitive NYC but sits in her bedroom doing teenagery meaning-of-life musings.

Are you a single girl?

GetOrf, agree with you Kim Cattral comes across as a lovely sensitive person in real life, I thought the episode of Who Do You Think You Are when she found out all about her errant Grandfather was the best in the series.

Sex in the City is OK for some fluffy telly watching I think Carrie gets a bit boring going on about shoes, life or whatever, I like Miranda though.

YANBU it's patroninsing and dated and even shows reverse sexism in my mind; women kind of behaving like men thinking its hip and cool and commenting on themselves and other women as if they were men if that makes sense?

series - YADBU

film - possibly YANBU; I was a huge fan of the series, saw every episode etc, went to see the film and felt frankly a bit 'meh' about it...I think I was SO disappointed in Big over the wedding that I couldnt forgive him even if Carrie did, and that kind of spoilt the rest of the film for me
