SATC 2

The thing that no review I've seen touched on, that only a real fan would notice, is how completely out of character the girls' behavior was in the sequel.
We love Charlotte because she's "the eternal optimist." She's been wanting a daughter of her own for years & now she's locking herself in her pantry crying while her kids bellow. Carrie's been in love with Big for years, and she not only has dinner with Aiden, but kisses him? Big is supposed to be #1. He was unattainable for six years, and now that she finally has him, she cheats on him? Miranda quits her job?? Samantha taunts the Arabs & flaunts her condoms, which leads to them chastising/condemning her. What?? This series is supposed to empower women. On top of the mediocre script, there's just nothing empowering about the film. The first one disappointed me, but I bought it. I don't care to see the sequel again. Hopefully the inevitable third will make amends. That's my two cents.
