I have to say that while I loved the story, acting, fabulousness, etc, the poor editing kinda killed it for me. I mean, half of the time the audience was laughing from the mic hanging over their heads. And I'm not sure if it was just my theater, but the camera angles were horrendous for some shots, capturing chin to ceiling, or even cutting off parts of their faces. =/

LOL...anyone catch all the microphones that they didn't edit out, that were coming in from the top of the shots???? It was mostly towards the beginning...they got better at catching those about half way through!

I didn't notice the microphones? I guess I was way too into what was going on.

I love Charlotte to pieces. I saw the movie with my best friend and we laughed, and we cried.

I was proud of Charlotte. If I was the friend I would have beat his ass! I was sooooo mad at him.

OK......Miranda needed her ass whooped! PERIOD! Yeah Big has always been flaky, but still. That is all I am going to say for now.

OMG......STEVE!

Oh...Charlotte sharting her pants......LMAO!

Yes, but I'm still glad they decided to give us, the fans, this closure that we needed. It was such a great ride!

I just got back from seeing it and I though it was wonderful, albeit VERY over the top. Everything was 10x more ostentatious than the show. Loved the ending!!

Except for the fact that they've already started writing the sequel or so the rumor goes! Supposedly, if this one is a hit, they will make two more installments. Personally, I'd love them to leave it as is. This was a perfect conclusion to tie up everything from the series finale.

Just saw the movie! It was packed they had to open up two addition theatres to accomodate for all the people. However, the movie was awesome. I am not sure if I was feeling Jennifer Hudsons character that much. But anyway, I laughed and I cried, the movie was well worth it

Yeah, I don't know that two more installments of closure is really needed. Yeah they could make boatloads of money off it but SJP always said they wanted to go out while they were still popular and not linger on, which is why they were so against a movie for the longest time. As much as I want to see more, I don't know that it would stay as good and then it would be ruined. I mean, if Carrie ends up pregnant it would totally change the show's vibe, for example. I'd go see it if another movie came out but really, we know how the story ends so I don't think we need another movie, or two.

I totally didn't catch that! I too was way too into the action. I'll have to look for it when I see it again

Cool

I saw the movie today at 9:30am, with my 10 week old daughter. (Yeah, she's kind of young! ) But the movie was showing at the local theater's "Baby Day at the Movies."

I loved the movie!!

Funny thing - my sister, who lives in Miami, called me shortly after the movie started (I had my phone on vibrate). I figured she went to the 10am showing over there & wanted to rub it in...but I texted her that I was watching it myself!

I LOVED every second of it!!!! Michael Patrick King did such a great job with the writing. I really hope they make a sequel, I'm not ready to say goodbye yet!

I'm going to see it again next weekend.

I didn't notice any of the bad editing either.

I saw it last night!!! I really liked it-the shoes and the fashion!! My friends and I "oohhhhhhhh" everytime a dress came on screen. I also really loved the blue that Carrie painted the apartment in!! Very gorgeous!

The limo scene-so powerful. It made me hold my breath and I cried during it. Very intense.

Also, where was that resort in Mexico because I want to go there now!!!!
