Review: SEX AND THE CITY 2

The ladies are back, and they are taking their heels to Abu Dhabi! If you were a fan of the series, and of the first movie, then you are in for a treat!

Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and John aka Mr. Big (Chris Noth) have been married for two years now.Married life is great, except that Carrie keeps over analyzing if they can really have a spark-filled marriage without children. (One thing is certain, her and Big do not want them.) Charlotte (Kristin Davis) has two beautiful daughters that are driving her a bit bonkers! Her only sanity is a bra-free Irish nanny named Erin (Alice Eve). Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) has finally quit her job working for a sexist boss, and finally Samantha (Kim Cattrall) is doing her best to fight off menopause with all sorts of creams, so that her sex life keeps booming.

When Samantha gets an all inclusive business trip to Abu Dhabi “the new Middle East”, she insists that it includes her soul mates. Whether it be shopping in the town market or enjoying a camel ride in the desert, the fabulous four wouldn’t dare forget their stilettos!

Oh, and I can’t forget to mention Stanford’s (Willie Garson) full on wedding! Yes, he is still gay, so much so that LIZA MINNELLI was the official marrying him!

I was a little worried that they might run out of mojo for a second movie, but I was wildly entertained! The jokes were funny and clever! I was not bored for a second in this film! Then again, I am a fan of the show.

They did enough to the storyline so that it didn’t just feel like a cheap attempt at creating a movie. Yes, some parts are a bit ridiculous, but that is part of the appeal to the SATC audience. We lke the drama, fashion, and fun! Oh, and for those of you that only watched it on network television, there isn’t quite as much nudity, but still a bit.

SIDENOTE: My mom wanted to watch the first movie with me and I vetoed that one REAL QUICK! When she watched it alone she figured out why…that would have been one BIG BOX OF AWKWARD!

The clothes were absolutely FIERCE! Chanel, Manolo Blahnik, and Christian Dior. It is enough to make a girl weep! (Partially because of the price…ouch!) The only complaint I have is that some of Carrie’s wardrobe seemed a little to revealing… as in HER CLEAVAGE WAS EVERYWHERE! It was way too much!

If you love your heel loving, drama filled Carrie, your perfect Charlotte, your ballsy Miranda, and your overly sexed Samantha… you will enjoy this film. Cheers ladies! Let’s go have a drink!

Oh, and tell me you didn’t laugh at “CONDOMS!”
