Two years have passed since Carrie Bradshaw finally bagged John “Mr. Big” Preston, the man she was always meant to be with. Just as her friend Charlotte must deal with her young daughter's “terrible two's”, Carrie must deal with her relationship taking a turn for the worse – Big likes to watch old black-and-white movies on TV and eat take-out food, which prevents Carrie from feeling like the free-wheeling party girl she used to be. Meanwhile, Miranda copes with a new boss that can't handle an intelligent, powerful woman, and Samantha works a public relations angle that gets the fashionable foursome an all-expense-paid trip to Abu Dhabi.

Pingback: Sex and the City 2 Movie Review
If you're a huge fan of the TV series, like me, and fairly fond of thefirst film, like me, I strongly advise you not to watch this film. Itmakes a mockery of the characters and everything this franchise oncestood for. When the TV series kicked off we had these four independentsmart sexy women living in New York City facing the same challenges allwomen face – romantically, sexually and professionally. The end of theseries gave each of the ladies a satisfying happy ending, where eachembarks on a different chapter in her life. The first film brought themback, three years later, and we got to see them in a new light -dealing with finally settling down into the lives they'd always wishedfor that didn't quite turn out as planned. The second film brings themback, 2 happy endings and 2 years later, and it tries to be differentfrom the first film. Perhaps trying to improve upon the slightlydepressing tone of the first film, Sex and the City 2 tries to be morefunny, more flashy and more colorful. It holds on for dear life to thisnotion that these women's happy endings must not be disturbed. Theirrelationships, their success and their life stories seem to be etchedin stone now, making any attempt to create some sort of conflict in theactual plot of the film seem contrived, unnecessary and mostly foolish.The characters are reduced to self-indulgent, materialistic bitchesthat fail to be satisfied by absolutely everything – since they have itall: the money, the clothes, the husbands. At some point in the filmyou go from loving these characters to just hating their rich behinds.I presume the makers of this farcical sequel thought they'd try to takeour minds off from our sad little recession-hit lives by taking us onan all expenses paid trip with the girls to Abu Dhabi. What they seemto have completely lost is their storytelling ability and a way toreach out to the audience. (not to mention that the title of the seriesis Sex and the City, the city being New York City, but what can we do -it's an all expenses paid trip after all) While the makers of the filmfocus on delivering ridiculous puns and changing the ladies' outfits inevery consecutive scene, no one seems to have been the slightest bitconcerned that not only has the film lost the plot, it's lost touchwith reality. Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte are no longerevery woman. They are Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte, the richbigoted American feminists who have it all. They havebecome…celebrities. Are we supposed to be happy for them? For thesake of the show, yes. But do you really want to watch them rub it inyour face along with awful puns and Liza Minnelli singing "SingleLadies" by Beyonce? No. I wish I hadn't.
I loved that the movie was set in an unfamiliar (but just as fabulous)place and out of the old New York “box.” It shows that these hardcoreNew York ladies (who had believed that everything you could ever wantis right here in New York) have really grown.
I much enjoyed this movie and honestly wished it hadn’t ended. I thinka lot of people just wanted to see drama drama drama “Carrie cheated!They should have had sex!” But no, I found this movie to be verymodest, comedic, and true to the growth of the series and the women.
ae247- I fail to see your point. Especially with your poor spelling and horrible grammer. Maybe you should go back to elementary school.
Funny, EW…in all your correcting, you forgot to spell grammar correctly…maybe you should go back to elementary school?
