Great Film overall

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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!

I'm really surprised that this movie even exists. Okay, it was obviously made to cash in on the popularity of "Sex And The City", but nothing happens! I was at least hoping that this movie would feature Big and Carrie having children as that would be the next big step in a relationship. They don't want to have kids and they advance practically nothing with their marriage! It seems like it was just an excuse to take the actresses on a real vacation to the United Arab Emirates. I mean, that's why Adam Sandler makes a lot of his movies.Another huge problem is that this movie is once again two and a half hours long! The story isn't complicated at all and it just goes on forever. It's just plain boring. This was completely devoid of laughs, but then again, I'm not sure if this was even supposed to be a comedy. It's a pity that this is the last installment in this franchise as I heard the show was at least good. It annoys me how these women refuse to even fly in coach. *1/2

This probably takes the spot for number one most awful film away from Tango and Cash. I feel like I was robbed of 3 hours. Carrie is a whiny, unsatisfied, typical Jewish princess when her husband gets a TV for their anniversary and she tells him she would rather have jewelry. She is looking old and stupid in the fashions. The black hat she wore to the wedding made her look like Cruella from 101 Dalmatians. And the blue hat on the plane made her look like a revolving appetizer plate from a Mexican Restaurant. Samantha is just disgusting. She needed to be douched with Lysol years ago but now she is just an old "whore". Miranda and Steve were great and Charlotte, burdened with two kids, had the best and only good line in the film. When she thought her husband may take off with the Nanny, she thought, "Oh no, I can't loose the Nanny." There was a very thin story line filled with ridiculous situations that were so over the top suspension of disbelief was impossible. It was pitiful and the old ABC after school playhouse movies were written and executed better. It reminded me of the plot-less series called the Monkees back in the 60's. Mindless, gratuitous, convoluted,idiocy.It was just on TV. If I paid money to watch it I would demand a refund. Terrible movie. Just terrible. Boring. Ridiculous. And if you ever liked Carrie or Samantha you might hate them after watching this.

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.
