I finally saw Sex and the City II last night and I was SO hesitant about seeing it because I hated the first one. But, Kate owed me a movie so I didn't have to pay which was nice so I figured it wouldn't hurt to go. Since I don't have tv I haven't really seen any previews for it, all I knew was that they went to the Middle East. That part bugged me considering NYC is such a main character throughout the six seasons. I basically went in without hope, expecting the movie to be bad.
That being said, I really enjoyed it. Even though it did take place for the most part in Abu Dhabi (??) I actually thought it seemed more true to the show than the first movie. It went back to being about the girls and their friendships rather than their individual relationships like the first movie.
I loved Liza in the beginning of the movie, I thought she was so fabulous and fun. I loved Carrie's orange dress in the desert with her butler holding the umbrella, it was so gorgeous. I haven't found a photo yet but that may have to wait until I'm on my own computer. I loved Miranda's hair when it was straight and so sleek and fiery red.
Didn't like how old they all look, how disrespectful Samantha was to the culture, I thought Carrie looked the best in terms of age. I didn't like the stupid puns: "Lawrence of my labia"; "Abu Dhabi do"; "Inter-friend-shion"; and something Carrie said to Charlotte when she was upset about the kiss although I forget what it was.
But overall I really enjoyed the movie and was glad I went! Of course after the movie Kate and I had to go get martinis which was lovely. I could go on and on about this movie but I'll stop there for a bit... and hopefully find some photos!!
