I agree, it was horrendous. There wasn't an ounce of witticism or intelligence. The girls have always been cheap and immature but the constant yelling was embarrassing. These women are in their forties, why do they behave like they're in high-school?
Carrie is officially desperate and pathetic, Miranda is psycho-rigid and mean, Charlotte is just daft and annoying (although I love her husband), Smith is so bland it's painful, Samantha reached heights of vulgarity but she was the best thing in the movie. As for the clothes, garish for the most part, with few exceptions.
Just low grade entertainment and so much worse than the actual series. Even Gossip Girl is better done and better written. Just sad.
