Anti-Climatic and Anti- Muslim

I did not believe the negative reviews of SATC2. Sex and the City 1 got terrible reviews and I LOVE EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF THAT MOVIE! I did not want it to end. However, in this case ladies (and gentlemen you love it too :)) believe the negative reviews. Like the "Viper" ride at Great Adventure, SATC2 overpromised and under delievered.
The trailers of the movie really peaked my interest- the "secrets" that would be revealed, someone would have a baby and there would be flashback scenes. Yea...ok...so..."secrets?" Are they talking about Carrie meeting up with Aiden in United Arab Emirates? New baby? Are they talking about Charlotte's new baby Rosie? Flashback scenes.. We did however, learn how the girls met- which was good. That took up all of 1 minute of the 2 hr and 27 minute movie.
Aside from being completely anticlimatic and frankly boring, I found the movie to be very anti-muslim.
Let's get something straight: The Women's Liberation Movement is not about being as sexual and provacative as possible. The Women's Liberation Movement is about choice.
That being said, many muslim women CHOOSE to wear the burka. Why must we always criticize them and accuse them of being oppressed?? Many women choose to wear the burka because they find it liberating! They don't have to focus on the latest hairstyles, they don't have to focus on whether their legs are tone enough for the outfit they are wearing...they focus on the inside.
Moreover, these cosmopolitan women have very provincial, ignorant views on muslim culture which saddened me.
SIDE NOTE: PLEASE PLEASE take out the kareoke scene??? I didn't pay Samantha, Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte to sing " I am Woman" - I paid to watch them over use puns, sexual innuendos, matter of factness and positive.
Ok- a pro to this movie- I liked the consistent theme of tradition vs. unconventional lifestyle.
Overall, the movie was a snoozefest. Sorry if I see something, I blog something.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
