I'm sad to give this movie only 2 stars, because I was a big fan of the TV show, and didn't think the first movie was bad. But what a disappointment this movie was. The characters don't even resemble their former selves. Whiny, annoying, disrespectful....even the clothes were hideous. Samantha's red dress with the silver Christmas bows on the shoulders??...what the heck was that??? Plus, these ladies (with the exception of Charlotte) are getting (and looking) too old to be acting the way they do. Disappointing for fans to see that our girls have become these dislikable women. This movie would be totally unwatchable for people who are unfamiliar with the tv show. A few folks actually got up and left mid-movie.
