A Disappointing Continuation
Micah Lloyd
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Neive Bellamy
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Frances Chung
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I love the series. Movie number one has a special place in my heart. It's the perfect heartache flick.
But this one?! Oh no ... Don't do it. Don't watch it. You can never unsee it!
Why would they do it? Even the acting stank at times. No. Just no!

As a heterosexual guy I have watch my share of romantic dramas and coming to see the movie "Sex and the City" I have to say that though I don't completely hate "Sex and the City 2", then again I never had the strong feelings going to see the movie and that I never cared much for the series. I was never invested by the four leading ladies who are constantly obsessed by consuming trendy luxury while talking the talk of sexual empowerment and scoping out a rich beau. Like the series itself and the first installment, they hoped they could swing it both ways. Sadly it was bombarded with vulgar undertones and unscrupulous exhibitions that took over the concept of a serious hidden underneath it.Two years later the sequel reunites the four girls and the vulgarity has elevated to a higher degree. This the consumer-happy quartet locates themselves from their American estates to the very gorgeous, but ultra-expensive Abu Dhabi in the UAE. And though the location was pure eye-candy with the beaches and resorts, I would have felt better watching an infomercial for two and a half hours and would never have known the difference. Just don't engage in tonsil hockey within the public spectrum and make sure that you have enough dough to tip the help generously. The plot is the same crap that materialized from the series. Lawyer Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is disgruntled by her boss who constantly dismisses her. Instead of doing the sensible thing, she just calls it quits. To her it feels like a win for woman's liberation. When really it's a cop-out. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is now married with two children wants to get away from the stress of it all even though there's help living with them. Carries (Sarah Jessica Parker) has grown over the fact that her beau is ageing and it outraged when she discovers her book was struck with negative reviews retaliates by kissing an ex-boyfriend. Her husband's reaction is priceless. And sex kitten Samantha (Kim Cattrall) wants to ward off menopause by feeding off hormones due to the restrictions of having sex in a Muslim country.And sure the film takes largely in such heavy-handed topics like menopause and culture clashes. And sure being a mother to young children can be believably overwhelming, it still feels very hokey in my mind's perspective. Sure there's some compelling jabs about declining economy and feeling heroic of child raising alone, but the fact of staying in luxurious hotels makes these ladies hypocrites especially when Carrie tips of a Hindu servant to return home to India to be with his wife.Sure I might be jabbing on the film over the characters, but in the end I'm jabbing at both of them evenly. But if I had the money like them I still wouldn't have liked the film. It just doesn't measure up in what it preaches out to be. Even the fashion looks absurd and not trendy. The women's fashion is over-the-top and scruffy. The camera-work looks jilted and very tiresome at best. Even Liza Minelli's song number looked strange like her face and body didn't match. It was quite an unorthodox experience.

Sex and the City 2 (2010): Dir: Michael Patrick King / Cast: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, Chris Noth: Followup to the successful phenomenon of the first Sex and the City film. Opens at a gay wedding where Carrie is a best man. After the celebration is over Carrie struggles to get her husband to move off the coach. She focuses on writing and agrees to some time apart. When Samantha receives opportunity to travel to an Arabian country she invites the others along. Director Michael Patrick King made the first film as well as being involved in the successful TV show. The girls all go through many wardrobe changes from glittery and glamour to the outright forbidden. Sarah Jessica Parker leads the cast as Carrie, who knows fashion and success but becomes trapped in possible infidelity when an ex appears on the same vacation. Her handling of this is one of the film's honor moments. Kim Cattrall spits out the sexual dialogue at every moment until her outrageous behaviour gains her unwanted attention from authorities. This is an interesting reference to culture and specific laws but unfortunately Samantha's last scene features her beneath a naked male atop a jeep in erotica. Cynthia Nixon leaves a cruel job and takes charge of trip activities. Kristin Davis worries about her gorgeous young nanny and the attention she spurns but the handling of this is a cheap contrivance. Chris Noth plays Carrie's husband and they are on the verge of the next step in their relationship. Not as good as the original but it does ask questions regarding the sequel of marriage vows. Score: 7 / 10

I have such high regard for Carrie. I just recently started watching the series and it certainly has grown on me. However, this movie was torture. It was simply horrendous. I have been to the middle east and trust me, no one over there is as extreme as they portray them to be in the movie. Of course, if you go around behaving like Samantha, i mean, that's enough to make anyone go a little crazy. The movie starts with no promise and constantly drops in quality from there on. The screenplay and story line was atrocious. The characters, don't get me started. I understand that movies are all about exaggeration and drama queens but this was a tad over the top even for fiction.I cant believe i wasted 2 hours of my day sitting through the entire thing. I seriously hope there isn't a 3rd part.
