   You want to like the movie. You watched the series and you even sorta kinda liked the first movie. So you want to like it, you want to make it your summer time special. You want to enjoy it, but it just blows in your face over and over and over again. It's just too much. It's over-done, over-the-top, just like the wedding at the very beginning of the movie. It's over-produced and over-thought. It lacks carelessness and ease, not to mention it crosses over to ridiculousness one too many times. It doesn't have the wit and the smarts the original series had, and you can't find anything in common with Carrie - once always broke because of her shoe addiction, now living in luxury. Before, she couldn't afford to have her apartment renovated, now she's owning two and flying out to Middle East without a blink of an eye. I'm giving it 10, because when you peel all that off - the bad script, the over-produced schemes and the horrible product-placement - you kind of get what the producers wanted to do. There's a good, honest feeling of wanting you to feel entertained there - to leave the cinema with a smile on your face.… Expand

   I am so sorry to report that this time I agree with the critics reviews of this movie. I am a huge fan of the show and also love the first movie but when I left the movie theater for SATC2 I felt something about the movie was not quite right. Something was missing. This show saw massive success because it gave permission for women to speak freely about a wide range of topics on their mind that they may not have normally spoke so freely about before. It was based in a form of reality that many women experience on a daily basis and put it on the small screen for the masses to see. The focus of the show was the four women and their lives as single women and then to women with more stable lives in the end of the series making commitments to their lovers and themselves. Now the series is in the “happily ever after” era of a woman’s life and had the full opportunity to take us through that phase of life as they did when the ladies were single girls. The movie set up four circumstances for each lady-Samantha’s being the lighter of the four-but instead of hitting it out of the park it wound up being a swing and a miss. In other words, a missed opportunity to continue the series in the same fashion that made it so popular to begin with. The ladies lives somehow managed to take back seat to Abu Dhabi and the big gay wedding and only touched base for small moments through out the entire movie. The “big secret” that is advertised on the commercials felt as though it was put in just to give the movie a moment of drama. The reason it comes off that way is because all of a sudden, the ladies are the focus and then once again the movie goes back to skimming the surface. I hate to give the movie such a low score but I expect so much more from SJP and MPK. I fear most fans will leave the movie, after the high of finally seeing it wears off, feeling as though something was missing. I am sad to report that I believe it is having another chance to catch up with and getting to know the girls we all have come to love so much.… Expand

   Well if you are a fan of the series, You might have good moments and some "SPARKLE". For those who haven't been through the whole ride, i am afraid they are gonna have a bumpy ride cause there is a whole lot of "Not SPARKLE" stuff in this movie. Extremely predictable and lame story with nothing in it to be excited about. And this is coming from a huge ducking fan.… Expand
