"I loved watching this HBO Series immensely and was sad to see it go off the air! So, when "Sex & The City", the movie came out, it felt like catching up with old friends you hadn't seen in a few years....
The movie still has the same cast of actors playing the roles of characters we've come to know and love. Everything in the movie clicked and felt right from the storyline, the funny situations and the blips that happen along the way. Watching the movie version of "Sex & The City" was like watching an extended version of one of the television episodes, letting us, the viewers, see where & what the characters are up to now.
The entire movie was well done. If you liked the television series, then you'll like the movie too."
A Triple Dip, but a MUST for the completist

"While it is -- frustratingly -- the third in a "triple dip" (following the theatrical DVD and extended cut DVD), if you are a "Sex and the City" collector / completist, then you cannot be without this set.
Discs One and Two are essentially the same as they are on the Extended Cut DVD release -- BUT!! -- Disc Two is *expanded* with three more featurettes that were obviously held back from the previous release so hard-core fans would have incentive to buy this package.
One featurette focuses on how they brought the movie to the screen, the second is about on the four leading ladies and the third is the HBO First Look program, "The Making of *Sex and the City.*"
On Disc Two of the extended cut release and this package, a conversation between Michael Patrick King and Sarah Jessica Parker takes place. Disc Three features the full conversation, greatly expanded. It plays as a "video commentary" (with many split screens and zooms in and out) to the theatrical cut of the film. Disc Three also adds a feature on the DVD release party and the day Sarah Jessica Parker did the scene with all the wedding gown changes.
Disc Four is a music disc that is worth it for me because of two additions. As a major aficionado of film scores, I am excited to find Aaron Zigman's "suite" (really two pieces from the film) on the disc and a notation that his score will soon be available on CD. I am also pleased to find the "alternate" version of "Labels and Love" on the disc. This "alternate" is what plays underneath the opening of the film.
Jennifer Hudson's song is also here, as are four songs "inspired by" the movie and the Pfeifer Bros. version of the SATC theme that is featured on the first volume of the movie soundtrack.
The box, designed like the wedding invitation to beat all wedding invitations, comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (only 85,000 of these things exist) and a slim hardcover book with pictures and quotes not only from the screenplay, but the "love letters from great men" referenced in the movie.
Overall, this is a FANTASTIC package both in terms of design and content."

"I am in love with Mr. Bigs so sexy. I was not expecting the movie to be as good based on the series. What she went through and the emotion Carrie was feeling i most surely can relate as i have been through that. But get the girls get whatever your eating because it does not disappoint. Can't wait on part2"
One of my Christmas presents

"Though I asked for this version of the movie (I waited to buy it because I thought there might be another version out), I hadn't expected anyone to buy it for me.
But my SO came through!
It's fabulous because of the packaging, the design elements, and extras. The CD of "Songs of Romance" is a better grouping of music than the CDs you can purchase separately, IMO. Every song has me moving and playing back my favorite parts of the movie in my head.
With all of the special features, there's plenty of entertainment to bring new meaning to parts of the movie. Depth.
I like having the portability of movies on my laptop and that's another great extra. There's a coupon you can redeem a free digital copy from iTunes. Sweet.
The "Ever Thine Ever Mine Ever Ours" photo album is a fabulous edition to this version. It is as if it is your copy of the couple's wedding album.
The "program" for the packaging is just like a program you might have received at Carrie and Big's extreme version of their wedding.
If you have this edition, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. If you don't have it, order it before they are all gone!"

"You'll really enjoy this movie. This movie had me completely involved for 2.5 hours! It was everything I expected. Humor, Pain, Friendship, Love. It was definitely memorable."
