in the movie, for the first time, much to ours and Samantha's surprise, we saw a wifely side to her! But it didn't last long for Samantha to come to the conclusion that she simply wasn't designed for relationships she summed it up in her break-up speech with Richard - "I love you honey, but I love me more".

Charlotte's journey through the movie is slightly disappointing as it does not show a journey as such, just how her life progresses. She carried her girly, optimistic, romantic aura throughout the film with perfection, and had her own embarrassing scene where she couldn't control her stomach and its 'effects' - but luckily it was only in front of her friends! She remains happily married with her cute adopted daughter, and it's really nice when she unexpectedly falls pregnant.

Now for Carrie's journey - and what a journey it is. I was never a fan of her and Big, I simply never felt the chemistry. In my eyes they should have remained as ships that passed in the night with their exchange of smooth one-liners but, in the movie I was pleased to see a more 'normal' and realistic side to their relationship in the movie.

Although Carrie is a likeable 'girl's girl', she has always had a self absorbed side. When she talks to other people of their problems, she often manages to turn it around on it being about her latest predicament. Sometimes she was reprimanded for it, like when she visited the injured Miranda with her 'bullsh*t bagels', and started talking about her situation with Aiden. However, in the movie, she is really heartbroken and I had full sympathy. We all felt the absolute devastation on her behalf when Big jilts her at the alter. The aftermath of choking sadness that Carrie felt brought tears to many in the cinema hall. But, as sad as you do feel for her, there is that same underlying selfish streak in her that contributed to the situation. She got completely carried away with the wedding and refused to acknowledge that Big was getting scared. But this time, she learnt not to do that again - ever.

Although the movie was true to Sex and the City, the character of Carrie's assistant played by Jennifer Hudson, was slightly uncharacteristic, but not out of place. It was a heart warming element to the movie and through her relationship with Carrie we also see a new motherly/older sisterly side to our main character.

The biggest and most beautiful journey was made by the group of friends together. We have always seen their closeness but in episodes often only see Carrie's closeness with other characters. This time we see them group together and really give each other strength, and form a rock for Carrie. In the end they are all in their naturally evolved and happy lives.

A heart warming, outfit inspiring movie that any die hard Sex and the City fan will love!
