Movie reviews: Sex and the City: The Movie

Charlotte (Kristin Davis) still married to attorney Harry, and living in bliss with their young daughter Lily, who they adopted from China as the show wrapped. Everything is perfect for Charlotte, who is truly living out her "happily ever after". However, Charlotte, who has been unable to conceive a child with Harry, still longs for a baby of her own.

Samantha (Kim Cattrall), the sex cougar, is living in L.A. with her protege actor and boyfriend, Smith Jarrod. Living the life of monogamy is quite the contrast for this lusty forty-something, and Samantha is having a hard time dealing with the pressure of staying true to one man; an issue that is made even more difficult when a sexy neighbor that likes to leave the curtains open moves in next door.

This all sits very well with Mr. Big, who had been married twice before and would much rather just go down to city hall and avoid all of the messy details.

This all changes, however, when Carrie is offered the chance to pose for Vogue in a number of high fashion wedding dresses for an article calling her, "The Last Single Woman in the City". She wears numerous dresses by everyone from Oscar de la Renta to Dior, and afterwards is surprised when her favorite dress from the shoot is sent to her as a gift. This, along with Charlotte's gift of a flashy wedding planner, encourages Carrie to go all out and plan a wedding that one would expect from the girls of "Sex and the City". The guest list jumps from seventy-five to two hundred, and Carrie becomes
