Synopsis

Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda are all married now, but they're still up for a little fun in the sun. When Samantha gets the chance to visit one of the most extravagant vacation destinations on the planet and offers to bring them all along, they surmise that a women-only retreat may be the perfect excuse to eschew their responsibilities and remember what life was like before they decided to settle down.

rubysuzi They get what they want only to be insecure......and their spoiled...only Miranda is real, Samantha is disgusting Charlotte and Mr Big should know better..Carrie is sad and selfish.I wish they had better writers.. And watching TV is not the end of world.
kirsten_ot The series was great and the first film was a perfect ending to the story. This film however, is racist and sexist and portrays the women as shallow, selfish, vacuous, offensive, ignorant and astonishingly lacking in self-awareness. The characters always had heart but now they just have a massive sense of self-entitlement, and it's ugly. Whoever wrote and approved this script should be ashamed of themselves. Plus, it's full of glaringly obvious product-placement. The only bit that's any good is when Raj from Spooks pops up. Other than that, all I can say is go and watch something else that won't make you hate characters you love and eventually yourself for putting up with it.
SnoopyStyle Anthony (Mario Cantone) and Stanford (Willie Garson) are getting married with Liza Minnelli doing a big performance. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is struggling to define her marriage to Mr Big (Chris Noth). Samantha (Kim Cattrall) is keeping her libido up with lots of 'natural' hormones. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) has a new buxom nanny Erin (Alice Eve). Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is actually happily settled. Samantha is invited by an Arab movie producer to Abu Dhabi. The girls accept the free luxurious vacation. Samantha's drugs are confiscated and Carrie runs into Aidan (John Corbett).First of all, I was shocked by Alice Eve's wet T-shirt moment. I'm not complaining or prudish about the nudity but rather it's such a guy movie move. Charlotte's break down is actually a pretty good dramatic moment. Carrie is a bit whiny in her 'problem'. Samantha is over-the-top and has some ridiculous fun. Then the movie goes to Abu Dhabi and the movie becomes stupid. The hotel feels wrong. The high flying girls become condescending to the lowly help without actually even trying. The workers are so subservient that it simply looks bad. Then there is the clash of culture. It may work in a more serious franchise but the frivolity clashes with the seriousness. It also isn't the point. The movie basically challenges sex and takes the girls out of the city. The franchise is called 'Sex and the City'. It's all wrong-headed.
Jordan Hunt Riding the popularity of the 2008 movie, 'Sex And The City 2' boldly dares to continue a story that was well and truly ended twice. The first full-length feature justified its existence with the genuinely plausible next phase of Carrie and company's lives; the sequel, bravely, came forward with the tried and tested adage that girls just really want have to fun. Where its predecessor was an often sombre affair, number two revels in enough hedonism to make up for the previous lack of it.Finally and happily married, Carrie has settled in to her life with Mr. Big as her friends have to their own commitments; Miranda and Charlotte have also settled into their unions, while Samantha is finally serving herself alone, just how she likes it. This is the sequel's main stumbling block, that the characters have faced nearly every relationship ache imaginable. Therefore, their individual conflicts they face in 'Sex And The City 2' - heavy chested nannies and irritating bosses - are so trivial that the unfolding drama sadly reverts the characters into exaggerated caricatures of their former selves.Courageously switching the main location from New York City to the Middle Eastern culture of Abu Dhabi, the film is similar to several episodes from the show that staged the girl's exploits elsewhere; New York City, however, was a major character in itself, one that isn't easily replaced by a holiday destination that offers endless opportunities for escapades which sadly, hardly ever occur.There is still plenty of heart and emotion, but long term fans unfortunately begin to feel like they can't root for their favourite characters anymore, as they are written in a manner that actually portrays them in the negative light that critics have long ascribed to them. Clashing their New York sass against the culture of the Middle East is a clever, though often uncomfortable concept as the film tackles racism like no other franchise - forever considering equal opportunities - could.There is much to enjoy about 'Sex And The City 2', such as its intricate wardrobe and lavish setting; when the most positive aspects of the movie are aesthetics, however, it is hard not to realise that the sequel is a somewhat vacant affair. It does contrast the heavy tone of the first movie well, making it an excellent companion piece, though with such shallow character conflicts, it tarnishes the resolution and conclusion of the 2008 feature. Therefore, audiences are left itching for a third and final film not to satisfy their lust for more 'Sex And The City', but to regain a sense of closure.
