Sex in the City 2: On every angle


i have always been a fan of the Sex and the City series on HBO... and when it ended, i was almost into tears... (thats an exageration, but i really got sad)

so when the first sex and the city, the movie came out... i was so psyched to see my favorite writer (carrie bradshaw - a fictional writer haha) again... and on the big screen...

this time, a second sex and the city came out... and without second thoughts... i just said... i HAVE to watch it... and with this kind of movie... the only people perfect to share the bonding experience was ... with my closest friends... we were supposed to be six... minus 2... for some reason they couldnt make it...so there we were... four of us... me, julie, paula and nadaine....

ABOUT THE MOVIE: Character Update

Carrie Bradshaw, now on her 2nd year in marriage with Mr Big (John James Preston) who has been the person she had a rollercoaster love story with from the series... she will be very scared of being just another "ordinary" married couple... and she will eventually fly to Abu Dhabi with her bestest friends to re-connect with her old self and somehow think about her life as a married woman.

Charlotte York - Goldenblatt, ever so conservative in the group now with her two daughters... and her lovely hubby... she is now a full time house wife with a Hot Nanny... she becomes stressed out in the movie with her kids and paranoia over her nanny and her husband... this paranoia will take her to abu dhabi later on...

Miranda Hobbes, still highly successful... but her law firm's new partner is stressing her out which will lead her to quit and temporarily stay at home with her family... but then her nature is just too career-oriented that she will get exhausted with being just a house wife... and this will take her to Abu Dahbi

Samantha Jones (my favorite), after making Smith one of the most popular actors in town (and even out-of-town, coz he was in Abu Dhabi filming), he called her up to be his date at the movie premier... getting her gals with her... they attend the premier and eventually Samantha got invited by a hotelier in Abu Dhabi for a business trip... and so Samantha convinced her girls to come with her for an adventure... ALL EXPENSES paid...

OKAY AT THIS POINT I AM NOT GONNA TELL YOU THE WHOLE STORY... i am just going to comment on different points...

1. Samantha is my favorite - well.. she is fun... open and almost a maniac in a way... but her loyalty to her friends... is beyond... she had her ups and downs... and mostly her life revolves around SEX (which i think she shouldve been the lead of this series... she is the SEX part ... and the rest of the girls signified the CITY jhahahahan but then when it comes to her friends... she will leave anything and anyone.. for them... not much a FAMILY person... but she will baby sit for her friends and attend children's parties for them... She may be WAY OUT THERE... but she will be someone that all of her friends could count on...

2. This is not a DATE MOVIE... this is a friend's movie... it may seem like a shallow movie... but from where i come from... i feel this movie... i mean... YES... the love of your life will always be a priority but then... without your friends... you couldnt really stand up straight... its your support... p[eople who will literally catch you when you fall... (and maybe laugh at you after that) but really... at the end of the movie... i felt so happy that i spent it with mt best friends... i mean my friends and i has been together for almost ten years... a lot has changed... were working now... living diffrent lives... but at the end of the day... they are still the ones i run to... for such moments that i feel confused and down... and although... i have my own priorities now and so are they... like a partner, a boyfriend, a child, or a booming career... it still feels good to just have coffee with them....

3. ABU DHABI - at first, i loved it... i mean the adventure, the sights, and just being in a really different scene... its exciting... and i even told my friends that maybe one day we should go there... but the CULTURE... it was scary.... and as the movie went on revealing the different kind of culture and customs that i may face when i get there... well... i have to think about it now... like a thousand times before i go there... hahaha i dont wanna end up like them... and i so dont wanna end up like samantha... hiding from the police and security and ends up sneaking her way out of the country hahahahaa

LAUGH-O-METER RATE: 10 out of 10
OVER ALL RATING: 9 out of 10 (coz i still want the series hahaha)
