I don't care!
I am one of those women who remained "breathtakingly loyal" to SATC, from first episode to last movie, and I don't care if the movie was predictable, politically incorrect, or boring. I wanted to see my old 'friends' again. I wanted to eavesdrop on those brunch conversations and fantasize about the city, men, and fashion. I wanted to live vicariously through those four women again.
If I had written SATC2, I would have included more Stanford, Anthony, Harry, and Steve; New York City; conversation; and, fashion! I wouldn't have written Samantha as a caricature of her younger self. I would have cut out about 30 minutes of the Abu Dhabi trip, but then I didn't care too much for Mexico or Los Angeles in SATC1. Why leave out the fifth friend - NYC?
I would have been happy if Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha had sat in the coffee shop and reminisced the entire movie. I am a total film snob, but I wasn't there for enlightenment. I was there for the fantasy.
SATC's target audience member,
Judi
Summary: Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha discover that even when one gets what they've always wanted it isn't always what they thought it would be. A business trip takes Samantha to United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) and she takes her friends along. Fun and trouble ensue.
3 out of 5 stars for the actual film and the missed opportunities
5 out of 5 stars because it is SATC
