Sex and the City 2

Sex and the City 2 picks up where the 2008 movie left off and takes us from a gay wedding to the hot sands of Abu Dhabi with a host of adventures in between. Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) still do lunch frequently but the single life does not dominate the conversation so much save for Samantha (fighting menopause tooth and nail with the sage help of author Suzanne Somers). Motherhood tends to be the focus especially with Miranda and Charlotte who have to deal with career juggling and smoking hot nannies. Meantime Carrie feels like Mr. Big’s (Chris Noth) is settling way too comfortably into their marriage and it’s taking away her edge. After the unlikely wedding of friends Anthony (Mario Cantone) and Stanford (Willie Garson) consecrated by (who else?) Liza Minelli Samantha gets a PR proposition from an Arabian Sheik and heads off to the UAE to talk business on the condition that all expenses are paid and that she gets to take her best buds. Four females who were in no small way responsible for a paradigm shift in attitudes towards strong women in America holed up for a week in a country where clerics have made misogyny law – what could go wrong? With crisp writing that speaks to more than just women this is like a whole season of the wildly popular TV series at once and at just less than two and a half hours runs just about as long. But time flies when you’re having fun and Sex and the City 2 is like catching up with dear friends that one has not seen for two years and rediscovering what attracted you to them in the first place.
