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 am a big fan of SATC. I started watching the show when season 1 was on HBO, and I bought every single season on DVD. Although I did not love the first movie, I thought it was watchable.SATC 2 is something should never been made. I just don't know what happened (or not have happened) to the girls, so many years after the end of the TV series. It seemed like there is just nothing left to be told about them anymore. The girls are older, and yet seeming even more immature than before. The jokes are nowhere near what the TV series offered. This movie was just trying to milk on everything.And the fifth major character of SATC! OMG the CITY! The writer dared moved the story out of NYC and immediately the charm has turned way down. The fish out of water formula was not played well. Things turn a little bit offensive at times.True fans of SATC, it's OK to stay away from this one to save your fond memories of the show. It's a nightmare. A good example of illustrating when something good should be left that way. SATC is ruined by this movie.

Well this was... something. As much as I (surprisingly) loved the first movie, #2 was just plain offensive.It started off all right (except for that over the top gay wedding) We catch up with the girls and their significant others in NY; Carrie and Big are having growing (or couch/TV) pains, Charlotte is overwhelmed by her children and a braless (gorgeous) nanny, Miranda is working too much, and Samantha is going through the big M. This was all relatable stuff, but then Samantha gets an all expense paid trip (through Smith) and they end up in the UAE.Where every scene requires another outrageous costume change, they stay in adjoining 22,000 dollar a night suites, personal butlers, etc and its all just too, too much. And jeez the stereotyping and offensive behaviour towards middle eastern culture and travel outside America in general. It was just painful to watch. I suppose this is meant to be watched as escapism or fantasy, but still.All in, a nothing movie that had me cringing more than laughing. I will admit Big's "sparkle" and speech at the end almost had me forgiving him for his behaviour over the years.As much as I've been a fan of the girls, the entire series and the first movie I really hope this is the end. 1/6/14

Having read the many AWFUL reviews, and seeing the VERY low rating (4.9 at the time), I expected the worst.I was sitting there expecting to get insulted/bored/disappointed/outraged (amongst many of the awful things this movie has been called), but nothing of the sort ever happened.A lot of people seem to complain that the movie is "insulting" to the culture of the Middle East... I didn't see anything remotely insulting. Lots of movies, involving a foreign culture, will use stereotypes to portray it. This is something the viewers can understand and relate to. What's the point showing hidden traditions of a particular culture and portraying it in a different light than that known to your average viewer?? For God's sake, people, if you want an accurate/multi-dimensional portrayal of a culture, watch a DOCUMENTARY. This is fiction, and the movie has a purpose - to entertain the viewer, therefore - it's SUPPOSED to be exaggerated and stereotypical.Another popular complaint, is that these girls are not the same as in the sitcom. Hello?? And what exactly did you expect? It's been, what, OVER 1O YEARS?? Do you think these girls are going to be exactly the same as they were in the sitcom? How dumb is that? Their lives have changed (and so have their views), they have grown older, and some of them have kids -- the movie reflects these changes; it's only natural. The girls COULDN'T have remained the same!! Well, I have to say, I have never been too fond of Charlotte (not the character itself, but Kristen Davies's portrayal; more specifically: her constant OVER-acting), and she has really crossed the line in this one. Her acting was bad in the first movie, but, in this one, it's bordering on unbearable. And I didn't like that ridiculous "Irish bra-less lesbian babysitter" story, either. It was just stupid and totally over-the-top.Miranda's character was severely under-developed, and so was the story with Aidan. And, to be honest, the Carrie and Big story was a bit cheesy for my liking. I mean, fighting over the fact that a man wants to watch a little TV after work? Please! All in all, the movie was pretty well put together, and, in my opinion, the things people are complaining about, are absolutely irrelevant. The movie is FINE -- it's entertaining, there are some great clothes, and we get to see lots of familiar faces. Never a dull moment! I was not disappointed at all.
