Okay, sorry to jump on the bandwagon here, but I am so curious!
I went to the movies today with my mom (it is her birthday!), and there was the longest line I had ever seen for the Sex and the City movie! The audience was primarily young women.
I have seen the TV shows, and do find them entertaining, sometimes even thought-provoking. I became disappointed when the focus narrowed to what they are wearing and what club they are getting into, rather than the relationships themselves (but, I "get" that as part of the show).
