Critics Consensus

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.

1/5

The sequel, Sex and the City 2, wipes any urges towards mirth. You watch in mounting disbelief as the disgruntled girls ( not women, never) come on to whinge about every single thing that's in their lives.

Though the sequel doesn't pack as much juice as the original movie, Sex And The City 2 doesn't leave your martini glass empty.

1/4

King allows these women no room for growth, even within a two-and-a-half-hour movie. They all end up just as they were, ever obsessed with surfaces and labels, which is disappointing.

It's the only part of covering the show I dreaded for good reason. It's bad. Really bad

It was good, but it wasn’t like when they were younger, and it was awkward, knowing the true story that there is no like between the girls

I can’t imagine this satisfying anyone. The 2:26 run time is as inexcusable as anything in the so-called plot.

I did a rerun of the series followed by the movies, and I can’t believe how LAZY the writing here was. Samantha going through menopause, AGAIN?! After already going through it when she was on chemo. This makes no sense to be honest. Both hers and Miranda’s storyline were so lazy, and poorly written. It was more about the clothing, rather than the plot. Disappointing tbh, but still entertaining— a perfect foreshadowing of the recent show “ And Just Like That”, which is like a watching a car crash, you can’t just look away.

It’s far from perfect, with the girls losing their original depth and becoming mere caricatures—but fans of the series will still find enjoyment, despite the mess.
