The new Sex & The City film premiered in London on Monday night and…
The movie is getting mixed reviews. Not good!
The well-respected Times only gave the pic 2 out of 5 stars!
Here are some highlights of what their critic has to say:
- There may be a problem with a film when a narrator constantly tells you the meaning of what you have just seen, gift-wrapping each scene with a moral.
- There may be a problem with stretching Sex and the City into a two hour and twenty minute film - it can feel like a never ending dinner party: however pleasant the courses, after a while you can hardly eat another one.
It should be noted, however, that the reviewer was a guy.
We're assuming he wasn't gay!

Re: amy –
SORRY. TYPO. SATC. my fingers got all fucked up getting all worked up!!
Seriously, I can't believe they get an old hag like that or Andie MacDowell to do ads for cosmetics and other beauty supplies. Like, WHY?????? And how many times a day do you think husband Matthew Broderick contemplates sucides?
I love you, Jessica! I'm your biggest fan. 
"- There may be a problem with a film when a narrator constantly tells you the meaning of what you have just seen, gift-wrapping each scene with a moral."
…. Um, has this critic not seen the show?
I think with all the anticipation & hype, this movie can only dissapoint. Sorry SJP.
Well, it's not like this is Speed Racer, with Sex & The Citie no matter how bad the reviews are, we are gonna watch the movie.
ummm no kim catrall on the links up top?
ITS GONNA BE FUCKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!! CANT WAIT….LOVE, MRS. BIG
yikes that's not good at all
Fuck him and fuck the Times. there's no gay sensitivity there. I'm gonna love that movie, and all the ladies looked stunning this evening in the premier
No surprise, it is a stinker.
DUH! The tv show has narration too! Sounds just like the show. I still want to see it.
Is there one Man in existence that would admit going to see this hausfrau shitfest? I mean come on.
Obviously he is a MALE and has NEVER watched Sex and the City! Also, SJP always has a voice over! Idiots! SATC is fabulous!
i'm a huge Sex and the city fan, and have always supported SJP, however, now im starting to believe that she is extremely self centred. Several months ago, i sent a heart felt letter to her asking her to make my 16th birthday wish come true … I have horribly crooked teeth, and there is nothing in the world i want more than to have them fixed… unfortunately my parent's can't afford to fix them for me. I sent ehr pictures and everything. but nothing. i know 5,000 is a lot of money, but to her, it seems that, that would just be a designer bag. please let me know what you think… was it too much to ask for? be honest!
i can't wait to see this!!! been waiting for it for years!! the guy who reviewed it was obviously not gay… and if he is, he should be ashamed
Re: charity case – No comment
yea fan of the show and all but i think the movie will such, like an overly long 28 minutes. hope i am wrong b/c i am paying to go see that shit. an whats up with Ms. Nixon with the cleav come she is a lesbo isnt kim supposed to be the slutty one. BTW the man cynthia left for her butch dike was actually my college professor.
I have no idea. I don't trust critics. They say a movie is good and it turns out to be the most boring piece of shit there is. They say a movie is bad and it turns out to be kick ass.
I LOVE, LOVE THAT DRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see the movie!!!!!!!!
I am a liberal, did you not know that?? Ask those evangelical Christians for money! Liberals only want to spend government money and call Republicans stingy. Get with it, snagglepuss!
She's the ugliest hot chick ever.
and why are YOU assuming he is not gay and why the hell does it matter? Only gay men watched SITC? Now, if this were speed racer, you would have printed the whole article and did about 10 posts. You are sooo prejudice against some things
Re: charity case – Your' crazy. First of all. Second to all you SITC fans. Reality is, just because a show was a hit on TV doesn't make it a hit on the big screen. It doesn't have a hardcore cult following, number one and two it doesn't appeal to everyone.
But, but, But Sex and the City always has the narrator! We love Carrie talking. If I were reviewing it having never seen the show . . . . I might not like it either!
SJP is the most beautiful woman in show business and i guarantee that critic is just getting the US all worked up in anticipation for the NYC premiere…. fuck you haters!!!
re charity case-yes, you are immature and ignorant to think that a celebrity can send 5 grand to eveyone who asks. Try to help yourself. You can get braces at almost any age. If this post is even real, you are on line, find someone that will take payment plans OR wait until you work full time , find a place that offers dental insurance and pay yourself. Celebrities get tax deductions for real charity donations. sjp would be broke if she gave $5k to everyone who says they need it for something.
SATC people will LOVE it………
Re: Sarah Jessica Parker –
SJP was that really you?!?!
charity case-are you for real? yes, it is asking to much. maybe Perez can make you the cause of the day. no, I am joking…. maybe I will ask Brad Pitt to pay my oil bills.
Two stars? He was generous.
Re: areyouforreal? –
to all of you that read my previous comment, im sorry if i came off as arrogant and ignorant. that was the last thing that i wanted to do. its just that, if i had millions and millions of dollars, i would do so much to help those in need — all the while not worring if it would qualify for a tax write off! i did not mean to sound selfish and stupid, its just that, i am so self conscious about my smile, and i would do anything, even embarass myself, and admit to SJP that we are needy, and poor.
Who the hell would send a guy to do a womans job??
Who cares what the brits think? Let them keep their opinions about Sex and the City and Madonna over there!
I NEED SPOILERS!!! I want to know everything thats gonna happen!!
i dont care about reviews, SATC is awesome! I bet miley cyrus is gonna go see it! and then get laid!! hahahaha. skank!
Gasp!! This bullshit doesn't work as a film!? Whatever will we do? How many people died in China, Perez? How many died today in Iraq? How about in your city? Please get some perspective people! Bad reviews won't prevent people from seeing it. This is fact.
SATC= COP OUT
last?? lol
my fav is charlotte! nebody agree??
2 hours and 20 minutes. That's a long film. I'd be getting fidgety by the end. The film will be a success regardless of what the critics have to say because of the loyal following of the fans of the TV series, and all the publicity hype. Still not sure if I'll see it. It's like when you read a book, love it, and then see the film, and it just doesn't measure up. I loved the TV series. Maybe it's best to leave it at that. As for gift-wrapping scenes with morals, that is an American tendency with both their films and TV offerings, and we are reading British critics here. A film should leave it up to the audience to make their moral judgements, and they will if the film is well-crafted. But they will be their own judgements, and not necessarily those of the film-maker.
Re: just wondering – That was her.
Same paper (different reviewer gave IRON MAN 2 stars as well. The reviewer wrote that Robert Downey Jr. didn't "deliver the emotional truth of the character"… WTF does that mean?? So if SEX is as good as IRON MAN, according to the reviewers, it should be a fun night at the theater.
This is typical Perex stirring up shiz! The review basically that everyone else in the theatre were loving it - crying and laughing…
Have faith in Carrie & Co - the film will deliver…
the way i see it, y'all should live by the golden rule. i want people to do stuff for those in need, so if you're rich and can do it, then why not? y'all need to get a little more generous. SJP is rich, why not give a measely 5,000 to that poor child. besides like he/she said, its probably just a hand-bag to her!

luv u Perez!!
Big fucking deal. He sounds like an uptight pretencious ass who was forced to review the movie. Does he appreciate the following this show had and what it meant to so many women? And it's through that lense that this movie will be watched by the show's true fans, who have missed the 4 girls and can't wait to see them.
Re: Jake –
fuck you jake! y don't u shut up?!? huh??
Hey, Perez. Whenever you wish to hire someone with a fair command of the English language and mad grammar skills, drop me a line. The the word 'was' has been annoyingly misused in this post. Other grammatical problems I let go, but today I am cranky. My mother-in-law is coming to town tomorrow.
To say the reviewer 'was' a guy is to imply that he once wasn't a guy (or he died). Ditto with the phrase 'was not gay.' I think you meant he IS a guy and he ISN'T gay? I'm finished with my MFA in one more year…hang on.
Re: silly billy – i agreeeeee! i was just telling my hubby. stupid fcuk, that is what the wholee damn show was, and we all loved it!
Two and a half hours? Who the fuck directed, Oliver Stone?
we're also assuming he never even saw the show! Cariie narrates stuff. It's what she does. Geez. Don't review and movie bases on a show and you've never seen the show. Your opinion would thus be irrelevant to fans.
Come on, this is terrible writing!
She looks like an afghan hound just out of the rain!!!
Iron Man blows this crap away!!
Who the fock cares anymore??????????????????????????????
canadian girl's love perez!
Re: she –
FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOU!
The same Times reporter that gave SPEED RACER 4 out of 5… So fuck off, Mario… Save your time for the amphetamines.
Re: Matt – Go read CNN. We come to perezhilton.com to escape from the bleakness for a few minutes.
SJP gets pregnant but miscarriages so often that when a baby does arrive she names it Spot.Kristen Davis aquires OCD and cannot remove the mirror from her clit.Cynthia Nixon dies of blood clot after double dildoing with a female tug boat captain(Rosie lookalike) and Kim Catrell gets cancer causing warts after fucking The New York Nets.A Great Movie
any SATC fan knows that we would have loved for the show to be 2 hours long…of course this review had to be written by a guy, Carrie constantly narrating drives most guys i kno crazy.
hmmmm…..After reading his review, it really wasnt that strong on comments as to what was wrong with it. I dont it was actually even that critical and a poor effort review wise. I think to be honest he was just doing it to stir the pot a lil bit! and to get onto your website Perez!
Clafairy x
Wow. Does this really surprise anyone? I just saw the trailers and it made me laugh hysterically… at how screaming queer it was. Seriously… are they even trying? No wonder the old hags wanted so much money. I'm sure you homo lovers will find some redeeming quality in this mess. You folks like faggy stuff.
What? Did Darren Starr's check bounce Perez?
Trying to revive you PR career?
Fuck that review! I give the movie 10 stars!!! I havew been anticipating this movie for 4 freakin years and they finally made it!! The previews are phenomenal..
SJP is OVER. she just doesn't know it yet because she can't see past her nose.
SATC is so last millennium.
re charity case: Celebrities rarely give large amounts of money to fans. They will give to a charity like Perez pushes our way. You are not the only one poor out there. Sarah would be out of money if she gave money to everyone of her fans that were needy. I know you are 16, so you probably don't realize that many people out there have high credit card balances, live pay check to pay check and are close, if not at the point, of losing their house. If you really need braces, why don't you see it you can work at a dentist office to 'pay' in work time for the braces. One of my friends did that so her daughter could get braces. If not, wait until you can work fulltime and see if you can work out a payment plan.
i have that clutch!
I'm tired of seeing this ugly hag-whore's face plastered everyone. She's even on the cover of NEW YORK magazine. Arggghhh!!!!
The critic just doesn't like Sex and the City! If you LIKE the show, you LIKE that Carrie "wraps" things up with a moral…. THAT IS PART OF THE SHOW!!! DUHHH!!!! Idiot critic. Of course, the movie is going to be like the show. SOUNDS GREAT TO ME!!!!!
Come on, did you really think that this was going to be a good movie? In their hayday, they should have jumped on this. This is like the faux-ho's of The Hills doing a movie when they're 80 years old. Only douches would want to see that! These Sex in the City women women have reached their expiration dates and no one, I repeat no one wants to see this train wreck of a movie, their twisted feet and aging personas.
PLEASE…. GET US SOME LONDON SPOILERS!!!!!
2 out of 5 stars…thats good! cuz im not gonna see this gay movie.
