Starring Sarah Jessica Parker, dozens of shoes
Directed by Michael Patrick King

“Can’t we just get on with it?” screamed Miranda in the middle of sex. Which got me thinking, when is enough enough? Never if King’s indulgent two-and-a-half-hour update of the celebrated comedy is a measure.

Without straying from formula, all key characters return to rework the material that once distinguished his series.

However a decade has passed since columnist Carrie Bradshaw squeezed into her first designer dress, and while the couture is as glamorous as ever, the story is virtually threadbare: will our princess marry the love of her life? Will Mr Big jilt her at the altar? And really, who cares? Yet if presales are a judge of quality, Sex and the City: The Movie rivals Citizen Kane to top Top 100 lists the world over.

Clearly cognoscenti are concerned for the welfare of New York’s celebrated gal-pal fashionistas; though anyone on the out remains out. For King wastes no time in developing character or story when there’s Westwood to fluff and puff – it’s all high-points and high heels as brands, brands and more brands trot across the screen.

Placing this much product doesn’t happen quickly. In short, SATC:TM is a Collectors Series extra of unaired episodes. Strictly for undemanding fans and completionists.
