WHAT'S IT ABOUT: Maybe, Sex And the City shouldn't have had a sequel. At least, this much-loved quartet could've kept some of their dignity intact. No such luck.
Here's what happens in this film... Carrie Bradshaw (Parker) gets nostalgic about the past, then brings you up to speed to the present, and then carries on... whining. Being married to Big (Noth), she finds herself competing with the TV and the couch and eating takeouts night after night. She feels the need to spend some alone time (at her apartment) for a couple of days but when Big brings up his wanting to do the same week after week, she fusses and frets. They have nothing to talk about. There's even a whiff of jealousy when Penelope Cruz makes a cameo as the head honcho of a Madrid bank.
Samantha (Catrall) can't control her 'hormone' addiction and is desperate to avoid menopause. She hates being told that a dress is "too young" for her and needs a Miley Cyrus to point that out to her. She gets her gang to go out on an all-expense paid trip to Abu Dhabi (the film was actually shot in Morocco) and then behaves in the most bawdy, inappropriate way possible.
Miranda Hobbes' boss is giving her a hard time at work. Frustrated, she reaches the end of her tether and gets herself fired.
Charlotte (Davis) has her hands full with two kids. Her girls are driving her up the wall. And all this, despite having an efficient nanny.
Will a trip to the Middle East change all that? In times of recession, will it give them a reason to smile through their problems?
What's hot: The fact that it has shown itself to be critic-proof in some countries. Maybe, Liza Minelli's spunky rendition of Single Ladies had something to do with it?
What's not: Plenty. We're in the 21st century, not the 1960s. Since when has a mere kiss between exes been a matter of marital discord and doubt?
A change of scene. That's what ruined this one. The team that put together this film just pile insult after insult at their hosts with utter disregard. How unclassy!
It is embarrassing to note that the highlight of their trip is the discovery that the burqa-clad women they've been making fun of, are just as fashion-conscious as they are.
What to do: If this one doesn't ring the death knell for the Sex And The City movie franchise, God alone knows what will.
