A middle eastern magnate was impressed with Samantha's public relations skills in the release of her former boyfriend's new movie; so he invited Samantha to an all expense paid trip to the Middle East. She would accept the offer only on the condition, her girls came along. So thanks to Samantha, the girls flew to Abudhabi. During their decadent excursion, through candid conversations, the girls confronted the issues that were an impediment to their emotional well being. While the excursion was not perfect, it was cathartic.
Glamor, luxury, and fashion are synonymous with Sex and The City, and this sequel retained those qualities quite nicely. Recognizing the plot in the midst of the decadence was difficult. The girls flew to Abudhabi to have fun, but not to find themselves; the trip was cathartic incidentally, but no intentionally. The plot did not get lost in the showcasing of the decadence, simply, a plot was not established clearly.
Decadence was aptly presented, but not in the absence of edification. Friendship, kindness, marital diplomacy, and the challenges of motherhood were entwined in the bling essence that the series is known for. Two commendable scenes in relation to friendship and the challenges of motherhood, Samantha passed up sex to hangout with her girls, and Charlotte and Miranda payed tribute to single working moms during a candid conversation. Finally on an unrelated issue in connection to preceding points, one could argue the writing criticized Middle Eastern mores of sexuality through Samantha's defiance. According to metacritic the film earned generally unfavorable reviews, and rottentomatoes granted the film 29 fresh tomatoes to 140 rotten ones thus far. Nothing spectacular, but entertaining and fun. I'll grade it a 78. Stay tuned movieporium.blogspot.com.
