Let me just start with I love the SATC show, and I like this movie. The show is obviously better than the movie. The movie has a slightly different tone, is more colorful and doesn't have the same great writing as the show. This movie almost seems like it's a short, final season of the show made a few years later than the original seasons wrapped.
However, there is a lot to enjoy here. It's fun seing the girls back and all the characters. The chemistry between the girls is as strong as ever, and there's plenty of comedy. The story though is quite thin for a movie this long, so after 2h you might be more than ready for it to end. The focus put into fashion compared to the show is a little ridiculous. Fashion was more of a backdrop to the story on the show, while in this movie it's such a big part. They could honestly call it fashion and the city. The times the women are in luxury stores just hanging out and shopping, walk around carrying 5-10 bags from luxury boutiques is insane. The one scene were Samantha walked out of Chanel (I believe it was) in BH with a bunch of men carrying the bags into her already luxury bag filled trunk was just beyond stupid, it looked like it was a campy dream sequence. It's obvious that every designer wanted their clothes, purses and shoes wanted in on the movie, but this was just way too much.
All that said... it's enjoyable enough to make time go by on a plane or for a girl's night, and it will make you laugh plenty because the actors are still very good and funny, even if the writing is lacking. But I do believe they should have wrapped the saga her, because the ending is the perfect conclusion. The second movie is just BAD and unecessary, and don't even get me started on And Just Like That, or as I call it: Woke And The City.
