The ladies came back in full force. The movie was quite entertaining, full of great fashion, beautiful architecture, and handsome men. The image of the Middle East and especially that part of the Arabian peninsula is quite accurate. A coating of the modern world on the outside of what remains a repressed way of life for the most part. My only peeve with this second installment of Sex & the City was Stanford's wedding. I am sure there are gay men like that, but couldn't they have kept the stereotypes to at least half? Come on, Liza, swans, "choirboys", gay men coming on to straight men, and the list goes on and on. Nevertheless, quite an impressive production. Thumbs Up!
I saw this movie at 9:30 PM and it kept me interested all throughout. Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Stanley Tucci were superb. Combining these two stories was clever and interesting. It reminded me of The Hours by Michael Cunningham but on a lighter note. Go and see!
