Movie #235 "Sex and the City 2" is another fun movie based on the equally fun t.v. show which I finally got to see all of in syndication (since we have never had HBO and never will). I love the characters -----warts and all! Yes, they can be shallow, yes they can be way over the top, yes they can be provocative, but they are always entertaining and fun to watch. I went in thinking I wouldn't like this ---- who wouldn't with the critics naysaying it, but I don't agree with them this time, and I'm glad I went to it. Of course, being surrounded with friends in the theatre who are enjoying it, as well, helps. And the opening hour with the gay wedding, and the costumes (I forgot to count just how many JSP had, and I meant to) , and the trip to the Middle East (Morrocco, actually) halfway through, kept the interest level up for me, too. But what I really like is how relevant the themes/topics were ---- the writing doesn't rest on its previous laurels. It tries to deal with current and real women issues and I welcome that --------and men, it isn't just a female film. The "Sex and the City" franchise deals with relationships, partner to partner, mother to child, and most importantly friend to friend. And in these times, who doesn't want to take time to learn more about that?

Sex and the City 2
(2010) R
Set two years after the wedding that almost wasn't, this sequel finds gal pals Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Samantha (Kim Cattrall) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) embarking on a much-needed vacation to exotic Abu Dhabi. They're still the same soul mates despite responsibilities of motherhood and marriage, but a new romance for Samantha and a little thing called Aidan, Carrie's ex, keep things interesting.
