What can one say about SATC2? There were some fun fashion moments, and a few genuine attempts at irony. The overall storyline was banal. Most of the one-liners were tiresome to terrible. I've made a List Ridiculous of ten of the worst moments:
1. CARRIE: "York? What happened to Goldenblatt?"
CHARLOTTE: "It's the Middle East."
CARRIE: "It's the new Middle East."
CHARLOTTE: "It's the Middle East."
2. CARRIE: "You knew when you married me I'm more Coco Chanel than coq au vin!"
3. The whole big fat gay wedding. Really.
4. CHARLOTTE wears off-white vintage Valentino while baking cupcakes with 2- and 5- year-olds. I say fair game on the hand prints. In fact, she was practically begging for it.
5. SAMANTHA's behavior throughout. Especially in Abu Dhabi. Enough said.
6. That SAMANTHA's assistant didn't up and walk after witnessing her boss shove hormones up her @$%& and, to add insult to unsanitary injury, use a touch screen. Seriously.
7. "Interfriention"? That's so bad I'm afraid to contemplate it.
8. That these spoiled women freak out about a $22,000/night charge on a first-class hotel suite without for a minute considering that one day's wardrobe for each of them costs more than that.
9. A five-carat black diamond? "Because you are not like anyone else"? After cheating with her former fiancé? This is no only ridiculous, it's ludicrous. These people deserve each other. Thank God they are not like anyone else. The world would collapse from greed, childishness and stupidity.
10. SAMANTHA: This $&^*%#! economy. We need to go somewhere rich!
I wanted to like this film. Or at least not hate it. My favorite thing about SATC 2: Carrie's opening outfit. But that's a long 2 1/2 hours for all the other rubbish. MIRANDA gets some kudos for attempting class, but loses points for shouting "Abu Dhabi Doo" out of a limousine. If you like the SATC franchise, you may give it 4 out of 10... at the most.
