Perfect - for fans of the series

I would assume that most of the public of this movie is familiar with the series, therefore it made good sense to me that the story picked up where the series stopped, bringing it forward to its logical conclusion. Obviously if the ending was to be a wedding there would have been no story, consequently some obstacles must arise and although they seemed a bit contrived, I accepted the fact that this movie was more an appropriate way to wrap up the series than a stand alone movie.

The girls are there, their boys too and some fabulous outfits and accessories. Besides, the story moves forward with some believable twist for all the girls, not just for Carrie. Who could have asked for more?

I am surprised by the comments of people describing the film as "shallow".. I wonder if they followed the series and what exactly were they expecting.... Mother Theresa in a leper camp? I mean, the title itself should give it away even if you lived on Mars from 1998 to 2004 and never saw a single episode of SATC.
