It's been said over & over that this movie was made for the fans of the SATC series. It has been called a love letter to those of us who fell in love with the story lines, the characters, the city, and of course...the clothes.
This film is, if nothing else, that long-awaited love letter for which we fans have longed. It allows us to continue walking on the path beside the ladies we grew to know, love, and relate to. I must say, though, that the movie doesn't really move us along too much.
Really, it feels a bit like catching up with an old friend after bumping into him/her at a diner. We ask them to sit with us and let us know what's been going on with them, and they fill us in. All in all, it was nice to get a glimpse into that world again.
This film is not without it's flaws/shortcomings, however.
The often quick-handed editing can make you feel a little dizzy, the silliness is heavier than the actual humor at times, and the length of it (while it kind of feels as though it moves quickly) may leave your butt a bit asleep by films' end. Something about this movie just left me feeling more...flat(?)...than I thought I would.
Those issues aside, I was THRILLED to have finally seen this project on the big screen.
I think most people will walk away from the experience feeling glad they viewed the film, as well...though I wonder how many will write reviews echoing my feelings on the editing.
I give it a solid 6.5 out of 10 (only allowed to vote in whole numbers, heh.). It was a little like going home again. You know...you're happy to be there but then again, it's kinda crazy and you get a bit of a headache. (um, yeah.) Not award-worthy, honestly, but warm. There you have it.

I hate saying what I am about to say. I adored the first volume and I think QT is one of the best film makers, hands down.
With that said: This movie stunk. It bored me to death for the whole first half. Once The Bride starts her training with Pai Mei...it gets better, I admit. Until that point, though, I was really ready to walk out. In fact, I had BEEN ready to walk out about 20 different times.
I do think this film picks up about half way through. So I can give it that much credit.
My suggestion is to rent it when it comes out, that way you can fast forward through all of the crap and get to some decent scenes.
Sorry, folks. As I said, I love QT and I loved the first installment, but this was mostly lame. :(

We got free passes to see this flick, and I admit I wasn't too sure about going to see it. Yeah, even WITH free passes I thought maybe I wouldn't go.
In the end my curiosity got the better of me. I am really, really glad that it did.
This movie was full of silly stunts and well written verbal attacks. No one was safe, it seemed, from being fully attacked as far as cliques are concerned.
The actors were great, the script was even better, and I spent most of the time laughing my head off. I guess most of the jokes came out of nowhere and sort of shocked me into giggle fits.
Tina Fey has always been good at what she does, and this is no exception. This film is good for belly laughs and light-hearted fun. I say see it! :)
