In this sequel, an intelligent and interesting talk is hard to come by. I said before the first movie was just as long, but interesting to see the characters get into fun mischief and have fun, intelligent talks. Its sad to see a once brilliant series take the route of crap, but if it were to keep going on and maintain the same jokes as seen in this, it's better off dead. All knowing their stressed, Samantha books a vacation for the girls to fly in n extreme first class condition to the Middle East where jokes take the route for stereotypical, and the lackluster level plummets straight into the ground. Carrie (Parker) wants more "sparkle" with her man "Big", Charlotte (Davis) has trouble keeping her two children under control and frets the nanny (Eve) is getting too close to her husband, Miranda (Nixon) is stressed with work and not there for her kid when she needs to be, and Samantha (Cattrall) is still sleeping with the whole town. The plot is all four women are struggling with their marriages. I'm sure if Prince of Persia didn't steal the subtitle, The Sands of Time, it would belong as the subtitle of SATC2. This is jam packed with racist, stereotypical jokes about homosexuals, Jewish people, and Middle Eastern people as well. Two hours and thirty minutes may work for a superhero film or LOTR prequel, but who the hell thought it would work for a Comedy about four women? The first film had the almost the same run time, though it was entertaining and it was fun to see the characters do what they did in the second film like struggle with wedding plans and try on dresses. To begin with, the film has a miserable run time. My hope for this film to be a successful follow up was brought to a tease when watching the first hour of this film. We're so used to these characters we need them in our lives supposedly, but after this movie, my love for this show is drastically decreased. But we keep coming back to see them every movie and every episode. At this point, the girls are old enough for fans to not care what happens to them. The popular TV series Sex and the City has ran from 1998 - 2004, spawned a movie adaptation of the series in 2008, and here's the sequel that will most likely bring it to a close in 2010.
