Sex and the City Films

Sex and the City was so popular that after 94 amazing episodes, fans were still left wanting more. Producers, not wanting to disappoint, would go on to release not just one, but two full-length movie sequels!

The first film in 2008 was met with mixed reviews by critics, but with staggering box-office success, it seems fans just couldn't get enough! A second film was released in 2010, but was met with even less enthusiasm by critics and resulted in the canceling of the third Sex and the City film much to the dismay of fans.
