Disappointed :(

from Kansas City
I am an avid Sex and the City fan. I've seen every episode of the series countless times. I've seen the first movie between 20-30 times (three times in the theater). I have the books, DVDs, magizine covers, etc. I was beyond excited when the promos came out for Sex and the City 2. I made plans to go with a girlfriend on opening night and was so anxious to see if the second movie was a risk that paid off. It was not. I wish I wouldn't have wasted my money, and I really wish they would have stopped after the first movie wrapped everything up so neatly.
Audiences like to feel like they can relate to the women of Sex and the City, but nothing about this movie is relatable (with the exception of a hilarious convo over cosmos between Miranda and Charolotte). Gone from this film was the emotional depth the girls used to bring to every episode. In its place was slapstick humor that just felt...weird. I won't spoil anything, but I actually rolled my eyes during one of the final scenes in the Abu Dabui market.
A huge sticking point for me was the lack of NYC. Although SJP and MIchael Patrick King have always said that New York City is the fifth lady on the show, the girls spend 80 percent of the movie away from the city, therefore, the second film feels like it's mising a major character.
The movie felt less like a peak of the rest of these ladies' lives, and more just an excuse to film a lame movie in Moracco. I will not be going back to see this one any time soon. :(
No, I do not recommend this movie.
