I think both the show and movie were entertaining but I would suggest watching a bit of the series before the movie. The show might have had a few too many cheesy voice-overs, but it also had a lot of heart and amazing real lessons to show. The movie is kind of a highlight of everything fans loved about the series: mature women talking bluntly about sex, dating, and relationships, life-long friendships, cool clothes, and amazing shoes, but you do miss a little. For instance there were a lot of great relationships that didn't work out for the women of "Sex and the City" which helped make them into the women you see on the big screen in the first movie version of the show. Oh, and I did say first, there is a second "Sex and the City" movie that's expected to come out in a year or two. Personally I can't wait.

I liked it but your tastes may vary. I'd suggest you DVR three shows and watch them. You should be able to decide after three shows whether you want to keep watching or not.

The TV Series Sex and the City centers around four New York women and their sex lives. In the series, the triumphs, tribulations, and humorous situations related to their sex lives are depicted frankly and realistically. As stated above, it is a very easy show to relate to if you are having similar difficulties as the main characters. However, I think that all women, many men too, can relate to the main characters stories on some level. It is as real and unreal as life in NYC can be. If you look closely, there is something to be learned about freedom and independence from this series.

The movie was less popular, and received lower ratings, than the TV show. It didn't have the same feeling or energy as the series because it only documented specific event of their lives. Also, as the main characters were all the same actresses as the series, they were older and did not give off the same youthful, free vibe. Personally, I enjoyed the series much more than the movie.

First thing you should know is to DEFINITELY see the series first before the movie. And if you're going to watch the series, start from the beginning (even though the first 6 episodes or so are a bit weak). Otherwise it won't make a lot of sense.

So will you like them? Here's how you know:

TV SERIES:
The show revolves around four middle-aged Manhattan women (who are all successful and living the high life) and their sexual/relationship escapades across New York. They worship the city they live in, and love sleeping around and around with dozens of men.

I love the series because it was frank, honest, and did hit on some women's issues. Plus once the ongoing romances start spinning out, it's easy to get hooked on who will end up together.

And BONUS: When the series first started, it really was like soft-core porn. Lots of nudity, explicit sexual scenes, and discussion about detailed sexual issues. I'm very comfortable with sexuality, so I had no problem with this part of it (plus the show got more tame as it got successful - less full nudity, more underwear and sheets during sex).

The DOWNSIDE is that the show's a little precious and obnoxious with material fixation: Clothing, fashion, jewelry, shoes, and general snobbery. The ladies look down on regular working women, and parenting, and there's lots of smoking which they glorify. If you're a down-to-earth gal, you'll roll your eyes a bit at how snobby and spoiled they are.

Now, it's QUIZ TIME!!!!
Take this quiz to determine if you'll like the show:

1. Are you comfortable seeing naked women's breasts?
2. Are you comfortable hearing the "C" word?
3. Are you pro-gay marriage?
4. Do you find New York to be a dazzling and magical city worthy of poetry and song?
5. Do you follow fashion trends or watch "Project Runway"?
6. Have you ever paid more than $200 for a pair of shoes?
7. Have you ever talked about your sex life with another woman (not your doctor)?
8. Do children annoy you?
9. Have you ever....pleasured...yourself?
10. Do you drink alcohol on occasion?

OKAY! Time's up! If you answered "YES" to at least 4 of these questions, then you should give "Sex and the City" a try! You'll probably like it!

MOVIE -
The movie's a different issue. If you watch the series, you almost have to watch the movie - it will give you closure on the whole series. BUT...it's not good. It's cheesy, and the girls squeal waaaaay too much. And some of the characters take a nasty turn I wish they hadn't. But, you'll want to see it if you've already invested all the time in the tv show!
(PS - there is ANOTHER movie scheduled for production soon, "Sex and the City II".)

Sex and The City is a worthwile show to watch if you can easily relate to it. Its a fantasy show for woman to live vicariously through the four woman and find one they can relate to and see how they would handle problems that might be similar to theirs in real life.

Yes. Both the tv series and movie is interesting.

Yes It's really a great show and so is the movie.

hey have the seen the movie..It is entertaining but not as good as the series. The series has its own USP. The movie is worth a watch but people who've been following the series will pick the series against the movie..
