I watched "Sex and the City 2" over the weekend. Even though this movie has received extremely bad reviews, even by women, I still have to say, I love it. It's not a movie made for Oscars, why is everyone so serious about it?
One of the reviewer's comment says:
The new movie is just an exercise in self indulgence and complaining about problems that aren't really problems. Charlotte complaining about how hard it is to be her when she has a nanny AND a housekeeper. Miranda complaining that her boss doesn't like her. Carrie complaining that Big puts a TV in the bedroom. Samantha complaining about her hormones. I just kept thinking "are you kidding me?? This passes for dialogue??". That's all in the first 8 minutes and it's just downhill from there. I'm just disgusted.
Well, they are not life threatening problems, but they are the things that women complain about, EVERY DAY! They are not real issues, but I don't know anyone, including guys, that's not guilty of making such complains.
"My kid wakes up all the time and we can't get any sleep."
"My boss is an idiot."
"My husband must have 10 sets of tools and he just bought another set."
"I am fat. I need to loose weight."
"I have wrinkles." (-- that's from me.)
I think the movie has represented our everyday "not problem" problems, in an exaggerated way. It's a movie. It suppose to exaggerate. People think it's stupid because they are seeing the "problems" in a 3rd person perspective. Should they be put in the situation, they may not be any less of a brat.
And I still think the ladies look fabulous in those costumes. Yes, they are costumes. No one wears an "Alice in Wonderland" dress to the souk without bodyguards. Even the rich and fashionable. That's announcing "Please rob me! Please Please rob me!!" Nonetheless, it's a movie, and in movies, the characters can wear anything and I am totally fine with that.
I am especially happy to see that the Carrie paid 100 dirham for her shoes at the souk. I was given the same price! So they are not just ripping me off. Though I didn't buy the shoes, more like slippers, because I thought it was too expensive and it wasn't nearly as fancy as Carrie's.
In conclusion, I think it's a very entertaining movie. It made me laugh.

I watched the movie on my flight to HK too! I haven't heard of the bad reviews, but enjoyed the movie. It is a movie that is easy to watch, and one that gives me a good laugh. It's fun to look at all the women's costumes. They all look sooooo good.
