I realize that gaudy fantasy is essential to this franchise, but why does the fantasy have to be so stunted?

In the end it's the fun movie it's supposed to be. Raise your cosmos in a modest toast.

It's an almost avant-garde adventure in aimlessness.

An enervated, crass and gruesomely caricatured trip to nowhere [that] seems conceived primarily to find new and more cynical ways to abuse the loyalty of its audience.

Remember the old, boundary-breaking, taboo-toppling Sex and the City? Forget it. Neither sex nor the city plays any role in this film.

An echo of the series' glory, but that won't stop the fans. Costumes and one-liners take precedence over female bonding.

This franchise is now officially at war with itself. In order to maintain audience demand for a high level of vicariously thrilling wealth.

It's a toss up which is a worse fate: replacing original creators with hired hands who approach the series mechanically; or letting the originators continue until it becomes apparent they've run out of steam. Sex and the City 2 picks the latter.

[Michael] King has done well to maintain the wry comedy Sex and the City is so well known for, especially considering the over-stretched 146-minute running time.

Michael Patrick King would say the extras on this Sex and the City 2 Blu-ray/DVD combo are meant to stir one's juices, but I say they have been designed to diminish brain cells.

No, it's not really eight hours long. It's more like two-and-a-half hours. But it feels like eight hours when you're watching it. (Blu-ray Edition)

It's a fairy-tale about fashion, jewelry, gowns, Maybach automobiles, private jets, Rolex watches, style, sophistication, and glamor, and I couldn't wait for it to end.

Sex and the City 2 is the female equivalent of Transformers; a big, dumb blockbuster that doesn't require you to think very hard, if at all ... I mourn the death of four memorable television characters that used to mean something to so many.

Dobra vijest za gledatelje je da Seks i grad 2 nije loiji od prethodnog filma; loa vijest je da nije nimalo bolji

Ignorant, culturally insensitive and unfunny, this is simply the equivalent of a Wiggles concert for the ``I love shoes'' set.

Strictly for the hardcore fans, "Sex And The City 2" may not be in vogue for long.

It might be time for Carrie & Company to hang up the ManoloBlahniks.

... a crummy little vehicle without dignity and too cramped for its fancy clothes.

With SATC2 we were supposed to get a peek at what's next. Instead we got a fanciful vacation and a lame and fluffy version of female power.

The spectacle of four supposedly high-achieving, professional NYC sophisticates "Ooohing" and "Aahing" at a tacky gilt and red-brick fantasy Middle East escaped from a Disney rejects storehouse is beyond risible.

Audience Reviews for Sex and the City 2

The girls are back together two years on. Marriage doesn't suit Carrie and Big. They want a break from each other. Samantha takes the girls on holiday to UAE. Carrie meets Aidan. Some stereotypes and condescending attitudes.

Basic chick flick with nothing overly exciting or special about it.
