Sex and the City 2

Ok, so no joke, I'm Carrie and girls' biggest fan, however, it's called SEX and THE CITY. Each of the two parts of that title were given about ten minutes total in this highly anticipated sequel. While Carrie boasts of loving New York City more than any man, that's not so obvious when she's ready to have an entire movie devoted to being away. The girls are all still as fabulous as ever, but you can definitely tell they're aging. The storyline reflected that by showing a total of two sex scenes (both involving Samantha of course) and focusing on family more than all the single ladies. While much time was spent focusing on Steve and Miranda's marriage, Steve is barely in this movie along with Harry and Mr. Big.

SJP (as a co-producer) did a good job of throwing some incorrect plotlines out there as the latest issue of InTouch magazine reflects. Samantha did NOT get married or try to get back together with Smith, and Carrie and Big aren't expecting. My main complaint (other than the lack of city) was the overload of female empowerment. Having the girls do karaoke to "I Am Woman" and ending the movie on the cheesy song "True Colors" was just a bit too much. It's ok to be a strong female (as these four characters have shown throughout the years), but let's not go overboard. The outfits were as incredible as ever thanks to Patricia Field, but were rather unrealistic for the setting. Overall, the first movie was definitely superior.
