The shallow characters make you feel good about your own personality. The selfishness of the characters will make you feel great about how you treat others. The amount of offensive material toward Arabs will make you feel good about your tolerance toward others. The mere stupity of this film will make you feel smart. This is the only accomplishment of the movie (even if it wasn't intended) and the awful jokes, non-likable characters, and just how tasteless the entire production is only furthers this series to its grave. Most men know that they should stay away but the girl friend or wife will force them to consider attending. Ladies, if you really love your man, you won't subject them to this. Expand

Offensive on so many levels, why do they have to be quite so vacuous?

I'd rather watch my own mother beg for mercy, as she is being killed, then watch this movie again.

I had to laugh two or three times. But overall this movie is not funny. I could not see the irony, because the depiction of obscene richness was still realistic.

2.5 hrs of overplayed drivel hell. Here's hoping the vapid haggard SATC characters are now all finally wrapped up in a nice black diamond haze of disappointment..

"Reading 'Breakthrough: Eight Steps to Wellness' in Abu Dhabi" doesn't quite possess the same revolutionary quality as the Azar Nafisi memoir which recounted the transformative effect that western literature had on a group of "Reading 'Breakthrough: Eight Steps to Wellness' in Abu Dhabi" doesn't quite possess the same revolutionary quality as the Azar Nafisi memoir which recounted the transformative effect that western literature had on a group of female Muslim students, since Suzanne Somers, star of the "Thighmaster" infomercial, is no Vladimir Nabokov, so the deliverance of these women(equally anesthetized by popular cultural just like their western counterparts) is mostly limited to the body, and not the mind. It's a book club comprised of materialistic Islamic fashionistas who end up validating the ill-mannered behavior displayed by these privileged New York socialites, when the middle east-end girls step out of their traditional "hijab" attire to reveal the "haute couture" fashions beneath like naughty Catholic schoolgirls. Now Carrie(Sarah Jessica Parker) and her gal pals become the role models that they proclaim themselves to be. At a karaoke club, the ugly Americans have the effontery to sing Helen Reddy's feminist anthem "I Am Woman", both for themselves as a pointed animadversion of this hyper-patriarchal society, and the local women whom the westerners presume are in need of some consciousness-raising and enlightenment, without understanding that the mobilization of feminist-minded Muslim women may have deadly reprecussions from their oppressors. Samantha(Kim Cattrall), the ugliest American of them all, not only offends the Abu Dhabi men, but the women, as well. In a very public arena, Samantha's demonstrative canoodling with her latest conquest, proves to be an affront to the female bystanders' inherent modesty, which is derived from a sheltered upbringing that deemed such forwardness as justification for an "honor killing". To some Muslim females, the headscarf and veil are personal choices. In Diane Crespo and Stefan Schaefer's "Arranged", the principal of a Brooklyn middle school denigrates a young Muslim schoolteacher's traditional apparel choices, and offers her shopping money for designer clothes. It never occurs to the culturally biased educator, or "Sex and the City 2", that some Muslim women, like American girls who exploit themselves sexually on their own terms, adopt the "hijab" without the stigmatizing effect of Koran-sanctioned female subjugation, in which both forms of self-debasement are post-feminist, but nevertheless, subversive acts of emancipation.

It's almost as if the producers of the movie never watched the show. I wasn't a big fan of the show but the episodes I watched were infinitely wittier than this crap. Fans of the show will have to settle for watching old DVDs.

Yeah, I'm a guy but I'm also a huge S & the C fan from the beginning.

The show was brilliant. and it just got better until it wrapped production. then movie 1 came out. a messy & unnecessary footnote to such a great show. but at least it was entertaining and it had a bit of the old S & the C charm. fast forward to movie 2. Michael Patrick king, i implore you: do NOT create a #3. this latest adventure of Carrie & co. is so anti-S & the C that if you ever watched the show you wouldn't recognize any of the characters. Carrie is married...and whiny. Miranda is bullied...and whiny. Charlotte is a mother...and whiny. Samantha is old...and whiny. get the picture? so they take a cathartic trip to...wait for it...the middle east. where the heat is oppressive and the women simply oppressed. stuff happens, the girls complain, a LOT, they drink a LOT, they spend a LOT. it's as if your best friend becomes a different person you don't recognize anymore. sorry girls, I'm done. i don't want to know what comes next, I'm no longer intrigued. because you are no longer intriguing.

Oh - wait, YES IT WAS! That's what the whole bs is about "smart women, independent, blah blah blah". Well, Sex and the City 2 is one of the most insulting films to women I've seen in a long time.
And not just women, but also some specific cultural groups (of both men and women) such as Arabs! I just found it appalling and very annoying.
The storyline was decently bad, but the dialogue and the jokes - OMG. WORST FILM DIALOGUE i've seen in a long, long time (as bad as "Crossroads," if not worse).
Literally, the only reason why I gave it a 2 and not a 0 is the fact that Samantha is as good as always and there are some really hot guys to look at. Otherwise, this is a headache. Horrible, horrible film.

The characters are not laughable,there are many subplots,and why oh WHY do we have to go over with lots of problems with these ladies? Like boring stuff in issues with their relationships and there plenty of more that is far over the top. And of course they have lots of racism and too controversial when the girls are having a break at the Middle East. It's almost as bad as the Transformers 2 and I'M NOT KIDDING RIGHT THERE,they even more racism like this. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??? If you see this movie,I DARE you and trust me you won't be happy to see this sequel ever again. Expand

This film is not only offensive to women , or Arabs, but too humanity itself. Non-exisent plot with filled with ruined characters, racism, and midlife crisis like cliches that no one wants to hear about. Ridiculuosly overhyped. Just stay away

As a huge SATC fan who loved the series along with the first film, this movie was a HUGE disappointment.
The most genuine scene of this film is when Miranda and Charlotte are drinking at the hotel bar and enjoying each other's company and talking about real things. The rest of the movie is pure crap when you compare it to the precedent. Hopefully, if they make a third - it will take place in NYC where it belongs with the usual wit, glamour and sparkle of where the characters came from.

And I say this as a die hard fan of the show...SATC2 is deeply offensive on MULTIPLE levels (e.g. women, Muslims, Arabs, discerning viewers) and casts a dark shadow over the series' legacy.
