Wow- I thought it was awful. I was laughing at all the wrong parts. The gay wedding was not fun- it was crass- and Carrie looked like crap. The lines were so badly read- I was honestly in shock. And they kept emphasizing it's a GAY wedding, we are at a GAY wedding... Then on to the awful Liza cameo- although I will say her legs looked really good. The scene where Carrie and Big are asked about kids was ok- they didn't back down at least. But the "fan" who asked if they were having kids looked as if she was going to cry or kick Carrie when she said no.
We go on to the girls regular lives. They do have hard lives -Charlotte has 2 kids and only one nanny! She is even expected to make cupcakes once in awhile
. Samantha is going through menopause which for some reason makes her face look like it's melting yet just had a facelift all at the same time. The only time I thought she looked good was when she had little to no makeup on. And Carrie- her husband wants to spend time at home snuggling watching old movies- what an a$$. And he actually suggests they make food at home (once) instead of eating out!! Carrie straightened that idea out- but then he doesn't want to always go out- he actually gets takeout- twice last week to quote Carrie- that means they only went out for dinner 5 nights!!! Again- what an a$$.
Then to get away from all of their hard lives they go to the "new" middle east. It is so luxurious they all get their own car and driver- because who wants to spend your vacation with your girlfriends when you can spend it looking at the scenery with your good friend driver? Oh and they also get slaves to cater to their every whim- oops did I say slave- I meant butler (no I meant slave). There is this scene where Carrie has an actual conversation with her servant, and we learn that he has a wife in India who he can only see once every 3 months because of $$. That conversation is very important to Carrie because it shows her couples really can be apart and be happy! She is so full of perspective that Carrie.
And sorry- but the whole Miranda, Charlotte ode to mothers scene was awful too. I think some people are honestly searching for something, anything, in this film to be not awful and I guess this scene is it for some. Not for me- it came across as so whiny and spoiled. Oh my god- I have 2 kids, no job, and only one nanny to help me- how do normal people do it?? I have no idea, and neither does Charlotte, but I think going to the middle east, having a slave, and being consumed with her iphone working on her camel will help her gain perspective.
I won't get into the last few scenes because they have been discussed alot- but I will say the karaoke was so embarrassing and cringeworthy I was really on the verge of walking out. Seriously I don't know how anyone thought that was a good idea. The last thing that got me was the girls utter horror at the possibility of having to fly home Coach instead of First Class!!! How do they do it - these girls are so amazing they go through so many hardships
Way to spit in the face of pretty much the whole population of North America during this recession. Oh wait you already spit in our faces with the depiction of the ignorant tourist, and the vapid self involved dim witted woman, and the gay man who can cheat because he's gay, and a guy, and the angry foreigners who hate woman who have sex in public- because here in America- the land of the free- you can have sex in public on top of a car anywhere you want without getting arrested like in those awful middle eastern countries. Oh wait- that's illegal everywhere!
Honestly this film has made me lose respect for everyone involved in it.
