After 4 years away, I couldn’t help but wonder . . . can a full length feature capture the magic that was SATC?

My answer would be no. I went into the movie hoping to love it. I was there with on a Friday afternoon alone, with a bunch of other women, who I can only assume loved the show as much as I did and still do. I cannot speak for all the women who filled the Lake Street Cinemas that afternoon, but I walked out of the theater utterly disappointed. I thought it could have been just me. Maybe I felt this way, because I didn’t have my group of girlfriends surrounding me or a few Cosmos to quell my cynicism. So I called a friend who saw it that night with a group of friends. Her exact words, “I hated it.” Beware if you continue to read, you may be exposed to the plot (not that there is one), and certain spoilers (not that there were any.)

Here is what I knew going in; Charlotte was going to get pregnant, Steve was going to betray Miranda, Samantha was in Cali working for her man, and something terrible was going to happen at the end of the second act(I believe it was safe to assume that Big was going to leave Carrie at the altar). All the interviews and reviews I read told me this, but the stars also said that they weren’t going to give anything away. After I saw the movie, I realized that there was nothing to give away. What was leaked, was the high points of the movie.
