The first ''Sex and the City'' film was released in 2008, and the second in 2010.

to:

The first ''Sex and the City'' film was released in 2008, and the second in 2010. Plans for a third film stalled due to Creator/KimCattrall's reluctance to return in the role, which eventually led to the creation of a {{sequel series}}, ''Series/AndJustLikeThat'', in 2021.

* MeaningfulEcho: Steve and Miranda's first sex scene is full and bland, with them still half-dressed and her even saying, "Let's just get it over with!" Their second, after they reconcile, is probably one of the most passionate and explicit in the show's history.

* MagicalNegro: Jennifer Hudson's character plays her assistant who helps to inspire Carrie after [[spoiler: Big dumps her yet again]].

to:

* ItsAllAboutMe: Carrie, after Big gets cold feet at the wedding. Not that what happened to her wasn't humiliating and devastating, but it's treated as by far the worst thing any of the characters on the show has been through -- in particular by Carrie herself, who at one point needs to be spoonfed by Samantha. This despite the other characters having gone through things like breast cancer (Samantha) and a miscarriage (Charlotte). Within the movie itself, it stands out the most in contrast to Miranda, whose husband of many years (who is also the father of her son) cheats on her and their marriage falls apart for several months. Somehow Carrie doesn't find that to be anywhere near as bad as what she herself is going through. In general, the characters don't give Miranda a fraction of the sympathy and support that they give to Carrie.

* AesopAmnesia: In the series, Carrie and the girls complain that their married friends view them as a "threat" in their relationship and the unfairness of it. Come the second movie, Charlotte is fretting ''constantly'' about Harry cheating on her with the Nanny. To add insult to injury, the movie "fixes" this, not by saying that Harry wouldn't cheat on her, but by stating in a throwaway line that the Nanny is a lesbian. [[SarcasmMode Problem solved!]]

* TooDumbToLive: In the second film, Charlotte chooses to wear a ''cream, Vintage Valentino skirt'' while baking cup cakes while her elder daughter finger paints nearby; two activities with a high potential of getting at least ''some'' mess on yourself, especially when you add two very young children into the mix. The result? Two red hand-prints on the aforementioned skirt, a screaming fit and Charlotte locking herself in a cupboard to cry.
