SEX AND THE CITY 2
3 out of 5 stars

OK, i admit that i am in fact a girl, and as a girl, i really ENJOYED this one… plus, after a two-year hiatus from the first movie and almost a six-year hiatus from when the show finally ended, i truly missed these girls and their respective personalities! ;)



we had left the first movie with carrie bradshaw and mr. big AKA john james preston marrying in a NYC courthouse due to the fact that mr. big got cold feet @ their real/planned wedding. well, they’re happily married now, and everyone is just as equally as happy as they are. charlotte and harry are raising two beautiful vietnamese girls whom they’ve adopted, miranda and steve are raising their child brady together, and samantha… still the same old samantha! things first start off with the most fabulous wedding of the year: stanford and anthony’s WEDDING in connecticut! (for non-SATC ppl: that’s carrie’s gay friend/model manager stanford and charlotte’s uber-queen of the wedding planners anthony) the wedding is AWESOME as there is an all-men’s choir, swans, an ice sculpture wedding cake, and LIZA MINELLI performing the service AS WELL AS singing her rendition of beyonce’s hit “single ladies”!!! (that’s pretty much the good stuff…) pretty soon after coming back from such fun, carrie begins to feel restless about her marriage with big, and then, an all-expense trip to the decadent abu-dhabi falls into their laps…


word to the wise: this movie is LONG. in fact, it sort of feels like 2 extra-long episodes of SATC all over again. (part 1: gay wedding; part 2: the random abu dhabi trip) but it’s the characters that save this one: samantha is definitely my favorite girl, and it’s fun to watch her go through “menopause” HER way w/ all the creams, pills, hormone crap she can find in the world. carrie just whines a lot, and miranda can be a real bitch at times because she’s sooo type-A. charlotte is the sweetheart, and i LOVE her soooo much b/c of that quality. she is so innocent and cute! (even when she falls off a camel) even the guys are great. when will i ever meet my mr. big? chris noth, you are one suave man… sigh…could we, normal ppl, ever live like this? uhh…probably not, but hey! a girl can dream, can she? ;)
