Sex and the City 2. Review
The fun, the fashion, the friendship: "Sex and the City 2" brings it all back and more as Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) take another bite out of "The Big Apple" and beyond carrying on with their busy lives and loves in a sequel that truly sparkles.
What happens after you say "I don't" Life is everything the ladies ever wished it to be, but it wouldn't be "Sex and the City" if life didn't hold a few more surprises - this time in the form of a glamorous, sun-drenched adventure that whisks the women away from New York to one of the most luxurious, exotic and vivid places on earth, where the party never ends and there's something mysterious around every corner. It's an escape that comes exactly at the right moment for the four friends, who are finding themselves in and fighting against the traditional roles of marriage, motherhood and more.
After all, sometimes you just have to get away with the girls.

Sex and the City 2. Reviews
B.K:
The sequel is too long and is missing that sparkle and surprise factor which made the series and first film so enjoyable. Even Samantha's character felt forced and overdone.
R.M.
...a moving, surprisingly traditional 'women's picture' in ridiculous, overpriced clothing.
R.K.
The first Sex and The City film was such a downbeat snooze that one assumed it couldn't get worse. But it can - and it does.
B.Y.
An insult to the memory of the cleverly written show and its celebration of friendship, it's a slap in the face for the four gal pals (often photographed at unflattering angles) and an affront to Muslims.
F.A.
Bad puns, fashion porn, domestic handwringing, contrived plot points, idiotic dialogue and offensive stereotypes. What's not to loathe?
M.K.
Some of these people make my skin crawl. The characters of Sex and the City 2 are flyweight bubbleheads living in a world which rarely requires three sentences in a row.
S.C.
I enjoyed these characters more when they were rich, rather than obscenely rich, when their self-involvement and life crises had one foot on planet Earth -- and when they weren't all gussied up like Mae West in Sextette.
W.A.
The only thing memorable about Sex and the City 2 is the number two part, which describes it totally, if you get my drift.
A.A
The most depressing thing about Sex and the City 2 is that it seems to justify every nasty thing said and written about the series and first feature film.
A.A.
If Sex and the City was Star Wars for girls, then Sex and the City 2 is The Empire Strikes Back. The ladies of Sex and the City still are sexy, sassy and living large.
