The only reason I give this movie three stars (as opposed to two) is for the fashion. The greatest scenes were Liza Minelli singing "Single Ladies" and the shoes.
There was forced humor and, at times, they pushed the envelope in regards to stereotypes of the Indian culture. I think more attention should have been paid to the marital/life issues of Miranda and Charlotte versus Carrie and Big (but, I understand they are the movie's central couple). There were even times that the fashion was too over-the-top and just downright wierd.
Just as there were bad parts, there were a few good parts. For one, the mother-to-mother scene with Charlotte and Miranda was hilarous. And the scene with the ladies in the nightclub was fun.
All-in-all, I think SATC 1 would have sufficed as the ONLY film. SATC 2 was a major disappointment... let's hope they don't get carried away and make the film a trilogy.
