The girls are back. More Cosmopolitan's, more gossip, and shoes than ever before. The Sex and the City movie oozes glamour and sexiness, from the jazzed up music to the pristine outfits. As much as it is full of giggles, make sure that you keep your tissues handy in your Louis Vuitton bags!

Prior to the movie release, it was surrounded by apprehension - Was it going to be true to the episodes? Would the characters still be themselves or would we watch and think 'she would never do that'? Would the plots be far-fetched to make them more movie-styled or would they be realistic?

On the other hand, how could he disappoint us like that? When did Steve change from being Miranda's loyal puppy? But for the first time Miranda is not the one who has done something to hurt Steve and her journey is about realising the power of betrayal, how to forgive and how life is grey, not black and white.

Now Samantha's journey. After years of conquests, we met Richard who seemed to be the only man who had any power over Samantha. She, who was usually the player, got played. We don't like Richard much. But then came Smith who really loved Samantha and
