"Michael Rechtshaffen at "The Hollywood Reporter" praised the performances of the four leading ladies and said the film kept the essence of the series, but resembled a super-sized episode.Manohla Dargis of "The New York Times" found the film "a vulgar, shrill, deeply shallow — and, at 2 hours and 22 turgid minutes, overlong — addendum to a show", while "The Daily Telegraph"'s Sukhdev Sandhu panned the film saying "the ladies have become frozen, Spice Girls-style types - angsty, neurotic, predatory, princess - rather than individuals who might evolve or surprise us".
