I never watched much of the TV show, but I was aware of it generally.  I didn't find this particularly sexy, or romantic, or funny, or touching.  But, yeah, I've definitely seen worse modern-ish comedies.  This is indirectly based on the writings of Candace Bushnell, and the director Michael Patrick King co-wrote the screenplay.

This movie caught me off guard by how good it was.  The performances were solid, particularly of course Cattrall and Cusack as the moms, I didn't see some of the plot twists coming, and I even liked the Aughties soundtrack.  And I am not at all interested in sports, including skating, but I winced at every fall and cared about these characters.  The title is awful though, as is the release poster, making this seem fluffy in the worst sense.  Tim Fywell directed.

Although this isn't really my genre, I can see why it's a cult classic and I did like it better than Kurt Russell's The Best of Times from that same year.  Director Carpenter has a certain panache, but I just didn't care about the story or the characters.
