and that's about all i can say good for the plot of satc2, more like offensive and the middle east. i wasn't going to write about it, but after having some fun banter on twitter with friends and realizing that a lot more people enjoyed it than i thought, it seemed appropriate to push everyone's buttons and get folks talking about this giant piece of crap.
first, let me say that with all of my bitching... the clothes... oh the clothes. i mean patricia field really went off the deep end with this one!!!! i freaking loved it... it was all hot. the dior tee with the zac posen skirt and custom made manolo's were the greatest thing i have ever seen... it was all beautiful and wild.
the basics. the film opens with the girls. all happy, doing whatever they were doing at the end of the last movie. carrie is whining because she and big aren't fun. miranda hates her boss so she quits. samantha is a skank. and charlotte hates being mom sometimes. samantha is offered a free trip to abu dhabi so the girls all go. without giving away to much, when they get there it's luxurious and over the top, which was fine, but carrie runs into aidan. oh geez. that can't end well. who doesn't love making conflict out of nothing!? stupid. and basically samantha is a hoebag and she gets herself into trouble which gets them all kicked out of the hotel... and gasp, carrie left her passport in the market... likely tale lalohan tried that one. this, of course, leads to what i feel was just the worst of it all. i found the ending of the film so disrespectful and tacky! i am offended that it was even thought of as funny. women in the middle east can be severely punished for what they did and i just couldn't watch. they don't seem to have a problem making a joke out of it. it wasn't funny.
so the breakdown. yes, the movie was so bad that they added a karaoke scene. yes... that's right. when would it even have been remotely possible on the series for the ladies to sing karaoke!?!? the whole film just seemed forced and grasping for funny. the one liners that kept the show going fell flat and they had to rely heavily on the braless nanny's tots flopping around for a laugh. carrie was whinier than ever... didn't she get what she wanted!?!? samantha was even more disgusting than ever. miranda was barely even a main character, although her 80's self cracked me up. and the only real moments on the screen were with charlotte. when she was wearing her vintage valentino to bake, yeah right, and lily finger painted her ass. well, i nearly cried then, but that moment in the closet was heartbreaking. and her conversation with miranda at the bar was hilarious and sad and real. i also very much liked carrie's butler and the paula abdul jokes. but other than that i have to say that this film is best watched on mute or not at all.
so, what do you think!? should i just chill out and enjoy it for the crappy "fun" movie that it is? did you like the clothes? or were they too over the top for you? would you see another satc? do you think they should stop making satc films? talk to me.
i'll be back soon with an awesome post from atlanta! i was in a fashion show last week. whatwhat!?
