..only product placement. The joke that is going around lately says that the G spot of a woman is the last letter of the word shoppinG. That might be true but in this Sex and the City 2 there is neither orgasm nor laugh. The poor women look a bit ridiculous. Samantha has turned into an horny old spinster, Charlotte into a desperate housewife who is intimidated by her nanny, who looks like somebody out of a bad spoof of American Pie. Carrie is simply boring and whiny, plus her Flashdance and like-a-virgin Madonna looks are frankly embarrassing.
The first 50 minutes are tedious, trite jokes and mundane dialogue. Where is the old brilliant screenplay? The gay wedding looks like a Med Club on Love Boat and when you think that the worst is over there she is, an exhumed Liza Minnelli singing. The Abu Dhabi scenes are the only sustainable ones, if we forgive Carrie for dressing up as she were at New York's fashion week while nobody told her that she is shopping in a humble local market instead. The only refreshing 30 seconds are when Penelope Cruz appears on screen, finally an actress. In the last half an hour you must stick some toothpicks on your eyes as in Clockwork Orange to stay awake. Two hours and a half are too much for this born bad sequel. Tell your girlfriends to pick up another movie for the weekend.
