Review of Sex and the City 2 (2010) by Mimi S — 09 Feb 2014

I'll probably get a lot of thumbs down but I'm a SATC fan! I think this is only something that Sex and the City fans will enjoy and understand. Guys steer clear and if you don't like SATC don't watch. It's just good seeing the girls reunite on screen again. The film is about the Sex and the City girls, well duh; Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Samantha (Kim Cattrall) and Charlotte (Kristin Davies) coming together again and discussing their relationship and family problems. To get away from all their troubles they go on a girlie holiday to Abu Dhabi where Samantha struggles to stick to the strict no sex laws, Carrie bumps into an ex, Miranda enjoys learning about the culture and Charlotte gets some well needed away time from the demands of motherhood. It's really like a longer and more adventurous SATC episode; as a fan I was satisfied. SATC always deal with problems that are real and like a lot of Hollywood films doesn't portray the perfect relationships and marriages and that they need working at. SATC is a lof of fun and something to watch with your mum and your girl pals. I found the film entertaining and sincere and it's nice to catch up with the SATC girls and see where they are after the series finished. I hope they make a third film. This film isn't for everyone, but its something SATC fans will appreciate only.
