My take of this movie was similar to yours. I have watched a bit of the series, but not near as much as my daughters who own every season of DVD's. You are right, there were a couple scenes that were ok. Like you, I did like the wedding dress montage. It was lovely. I think the only time I laughed was during the poop scene, I just didn't think the jokes were funny.
The part of the movie that actually made me angry was Carrie's reaction when Big didn't show up for the "first" wedding (sorry folks if you haven't seen the movie). Not her immediate reaction, but her days of sulking, silence, sleeping and not eating (which made the fact that she was already sooo skinny, not believable). It was over-played, over-acted and emotion better served to a real crisis. I wonder what she would have done if she had no home, no job, no money, no clothes and no friends? Now that would be a real SATC crisis.
I know this movie is a life that most women see themselves in in a dream. Women will envy the clothes, jobs and sadly, sex with way too many men with no consequences. It sends a bad message to our young women.
Speaking of the clothes....I heard so much hype about the super-secret movie wardrobe and was truly disappointed. My daughter seems to think this is the way real New Yorkers actually dress, I think not. The clothes were gaudy and not the slightest bit realistic. I could be wrong on this, not being a SATC true blue fan, but it seemed the series had clothes closer to reality (someone's reality).
My other daughter will go see the movie in the next week and will love it, I'm sure. That's fine. I, on the other hand, preferred the Indiana Jones movie I saw earlier in the week. My daughter hated it. Chock one up for generational differences.
