Sex and the City 2, or: the crappest film I ever saw

I have never wanted to warn people more about a film in my life. Oh, and yes, I will ruin the movie. But its okay, the plot doesn’t really matter.
I went with some very dear friends of mine, thinking well at least I can mock it. I knew it would be silly, I knew it would be different from the show, but I had no idea it would spit in the face of the show. Here are my main issues with the film:

Its called SEX and the CITY trying having some of at least one of them i your actual film.

They had characters, full, well rounded ones in the show. They should also have them in the movie.

Try to be consistent. I should not spend half the film thinking ‘They would never have done that’

Remember when just Carrie dressed like a lunatic? And didnt have to walk around holding her dress up?

Watching an adult woman in her 40’s STARING at a woman in burka, feeling the need to point her out to her friends and then having them stare and wonder how she eats food is appalling and offensive. To anyone with a brain.

The personal butlers, $22,000 a night hotel while the butler cannot afford to live in the same country as his wife, but its okay because Carrie leaves him $50 as a tip? Also grossly offensive and shows your screenwriter does not live in the real world.

Carrie is a whiny bitch and I spend the whole movie wanting her to grow the fuck up. I am almost half her age. Who complains because she has to stay at home to eat a whole three nights a week?

If I kiss an ex-boyfriend will my husband buy me a huge diamond ring as ‘punishment’?

These people used to be able to act. I remember. Maybe cause they also had characters with emotional depth that allowed them at use those acting skills.

Why are they all best friends with Carrie?
