The critic consesnsus is: Straining under a thin plot stretched to its limit by a bloated running time, Sex and the City 2 adds an unfortunate coda to the long-running HBO series.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?
1. Superficial, forgettable, meaningless. It's simply bad storytelling, and by the end quite offensive.
2. The main goal is to transport its target audience to the decidedly less mundane world of Carrie and Friends, and in that sense, the movie is more than successful.
3. If only it were two and a half hours of Liza doing Beyonce numbers. Now that would be a truly fabulous two and a half hours well spent.
4. A 2 1/2 hour test of patience featuring four embarrassingly-entitled Ugly Americans agonizing over trivia and assorted soap opera drama that is, quite frankly, so patently superficial, you almost wish they'd be cursed with some real problems
5. This second cinematic bite of the apple far exceeds expectations and is a significant improvement over the 2008 movie. Every outfit worn by these endearing ladies is...
6. just a string of excuses to get the girls back together to chit-chat over coffee and cosmos, all the while making crass and often tired sexual puns.
7. It's a never-ending sequel.
8. A flagrant insult to the audience that made the first film a phenomenon. Shame on the writers of this soulless drivel for trying to pass this Canal Street bootleg sow's ear off as a genuine Alexander McQueen silk purse.
9. The last gasp of a franchise that has definitively lost touch with its roots.
10. Despite the venemous SATC backlash, and despite the extreme vapidity on display, it's a reasonably fun romp that fans of the series will certainly enjoy.
