Sex And The City 2


Ok, I'm changing the date of this blog to June because that's when I should have posted it, but know that the actual date is July 18, 2010. Wow! It's been forever since my last blog! Sorry! I've been caught up with so much stuff this summer. Anyway...Seriously?? I can't believe that movies like this exist sometimes. It's a sequel at par with the first film--which doesn't say much because the first film was just as lousy. With the first one ending with nothing left unresolved, this second film was a huge stretch of unnecessary plot. In this movie, the girls take a trip to Abu Dhabi without their significant others. There's a bunch of subplots throughout this film.

I literally hate this film, along with the first film. But honestly, this one was more humorous than the first one, along with having more intricate character development. However, the first film had a way better plot. The thing that i dislike so much about these films is that they're full of a bunch of self-centered, selfish, overly-materialistic girls who put their friends before their spouses. They talk about men like meat and would probably not have as many relationship problems if they would just stop talking to their friends about their problems instead of actually talking to their spouses about their problems! These women are really stupid and live their lives by making idiotic decisions. I didn't agree with 90% of the advice that they give each other. And parts of this film that were supposed to be "heartwarming" were just left with me scrunching my eyebrows.

For once, I really don't feel bad giving a film a bad review. The only cool thing about this film is the upscale awe of the ritzy Abu Dhabi hotel and airplane. But if that is the best part of a movie, it's not really going anywhere. Not to mention that there is no reason for this movie to be 2 and a half hours long. But overall, these women take themselves way too seriously and need to get real about their priorities.

Overall Grade: D-
