Sex And The City 2

Well what can I say? Knowing that the movie didn't receive great reviews, I knew what I was getting myself into. It was your average chick flick. I liked it enough not to demand my money back and considered it cute...but...just alright. Not great, but just alright. Man, when was the last movie that I saw in the theaters that I really liked? ...I can't remember...maybe Star Trek...? And that was awhile ago. You know, I’d really love to go the theaters and walk out of there loving it and wanting to see it again…that would be nice, but unfortunately it wasn’t this one.

Since I loved the first movie (it truly was the ultimate chick flick) I wanted to really like Sex and the City 2, really...I did. But just like with any other movie sequel, I knew that I was only setting myself up for a big disappointed. I mean really, when was the last time that you enjoyed the sequel of a movie just as much as you did the first one...? I can't say that I have an answer to that one. Anyway, I was so excited for the movie, I know that the hype I built up was probably too high for it to overcome...but you know me and my anticipation. :-/ And then after watching the previews (which were pretty awesome and had me hungry for some of the upcoming movies), I was definitely psyched for the movie. But seriously, the first, I would say, half an hour of the movie was just a waste of time. The big outrageous song and dance number known as a gay wedding was just so over the top that I was just bored. The rest of the movie wasn't that much better. Sure it picked up a little bit, there were some laughs, some mildly interesting dialogue, and some bare male chests to admire...but that was basically about it. Granted, I'm not a huge die-hard fan of the Sex and the City series (there seriously were women in line waiting for this movie dressed up as Carrie Bradshaw…true story)...I loved the first movie but didn't really follow it on TV at all. So take this for what you will.
