Yesterday, I finally got to see my favorite characters grace the screen and I can say I am definitely satisfied with the movie/outcome. I heard the hype of the movie wasn't by far great and the movie didn't have a plot, etc. etc. I think people were expecting too much of an outcome basing it on the first movie and hearsay opinions of what should happen in the 2nd movie. I loved every bit & piece of the fashion displayed and also Miranda really suprised this time around, she was more spontaneous and happy! My favorite characters are Carrie and of course Sex lust Samantha, lol. If there's à trois I would be more than grateful, happy and willing to definitely spend my money the first week, more than once.
Here's a Review I found via, internet.
Carrie is married to Mr Big and they are struggling with the monotony of monogamy and routine. Miranda and Steve are still together and she is still overworked. Charlotte is a mother to two young girls, who are stretching her nerves despite the services of a full-time nanny. And Samantha is as lascivious as ever, trying to stave off the effects of menopause with a cocktail of vitamins and topical creams.
Happily, the movie starts in New York, spiritual home to Carrie and her three best friends. There is an ostentatious same-sex wedding where Liza Minnelli performs a hilarious Beyonce rendition but then the plot, or lack thereof, begins to grate. Sadly, the action moves to Abu Dhabi after Samantha scores an all-expenses-paid trip for the foursome.
They bask in the delights of the east even as they make digs at how backwards the Arab world is and how oppressed they believe Muslim women to be. They laugh at a woman in a burqa as she tries to eat french fries and wave condoms around a marketplace during the call to prayer. When their ordeal, and ours, is over, they find themselves back — and blissfully happy — in the "home of the free".
There are moments of nostalgia. When Carrie runs into Aiden and falls to pieces you remember why you loved her. Miranda and Charlotte talk about the trials of motherhood with a credibility of feeling. And the wardrobe is truly beautiful.
*But in the end you can't help but feel that these girlfriends have well and truly outstayed their welcome.
