 Critics have been harsh when reviewing Sex and the City 2, with many dismissing the film as largely meaningless and New York Observer's Rex Reed commenting, "It is to movies what fried dough is to nutrition." The latest film has Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda traveling to Abu Dhabi on a luxurious vacation as the four question marriage and parenthood. However, many critics have called the film superficial, with Roger Ebert stating, "The characters of Sex and the City 2 are flyweight bubbleheads living in a world which rarely requires three sentences in a row. Their defining quality is consuming things." Others have taken aim at the movie's depiction of Muslims, with Claudia Puig of USA Today stating, "An insult to the memory of the cleverly written show and its celebration of friendship, it's [the movie] a slap in the face for the four gal pals (often photographed at unflattering angles) and an affront to Muslims." For most, it simply does not live up to its predecessors, with Puig lamenting, "Fans of the HBO series would be wise to pivot on their Manolo Blahniks and steer clear of the mortifying mess that is Sex and the City 2." |
