Sex and the CityVarious Theaters
Now Playing
The fab four and Mr.Big make the transition from the small screen to the big screen with Sex and the City. Does Carrie get marry Mr.Big? Will Miranda stick with husband Steve? Does Charlotte get pregnant? And does Samantha settle for just one guy? The answers are all in the movie. Let me just tell you this, Sex and the City sizzles and is worth every cent of the movie ticket price. I highly recommend it.

There you will find a dozen cosy little cottages that scream homely and inviting. A stay here is not cheap, cottages from $375 a night. However, when you get here you do feel like you are a world away.
