TV to film is a tough transition. With TV, you get much more time to develop characters and it relies much more on character interactions and situations to keep the viewer engaged. With film, it tends to be more plot driven and the episodic nature of TV doesn't always go well on a huge screen for some reason.
Sex and the City's transition from TV to big screen is a little bit bumpy (as expected), but it's not the disaster it could (and maybe should) have been.
It picks up where the series ended and sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw has finally nabbed her prince charming affectionately named Mr. Big. She finally decides to move into his place and sell her old brownstone as they prepare to get married. Disaster hits during the wedding and the rest of the film could be called "How Carrie Got Her Groove Back."
Sex and the City is a bit overlong at well over two hours, but the cast is as committed as ever and they do still feel like the people we got to know and love over several seasons of the TV show. There are some good laughs and even some attempts at real drama. Some of these moments work better than others, but it's hard to say that Sex and the City is ever boring. It's lost a bit of its luster during the transition, but if we're being honest, the last few seasons of the show had lost a little of that luster, too.
