The girls are back for what we all hoped would be a most glamour-filled, fabulous, sexy and funny sequel to the first Sex And The City flick.

The film was full of fashion and high-end couture pieces and the first half hour of the film opens with a most glamourous party that is any gay mans dream with a wonderful rendition of Single Ladies by Liza Minnelli. It was a great start but unfortunately it’s after this point the ladies pack up and head to Abu Dhabi and the film becomes “Not A Lot Of Sex In A Foreign Country”.

The film commences in fabulous New York with the four girls getting on with life but once it moves out of New York it becomes an extremely false, highly glamourised production with no relation to the series or first film.

The fashion is A1 throughout and as we’ve seen over the past few weeks replica looks are in every magazine and newspaper but the film seems to be relying on the fashion alone, an estimated 5 million dollars was spent on wardrobe for this sequel.

What they spent on fashion they should have spent on story development and sets in the city that never sleeps instead of basing it on a poor story arch in a country that most Sex And The City fans just do not care about.

Thankfully the script sees the return of the ladies favourite Jason Lewis who plays Samantha’s ex Smith Jerrod, sadly he didn’t get as much screen time as one would have expected.

The writers and production staff involved in Sex And The City 2 ought to have stuck to what they know which is New York, fantastic New York parties and tales that follow the four women we have all come to know and appreciate with their almost real-life problems but this became fantastical, unrealistic and far too high end.

Money seems to have been thrown at this film and sadly it has fallen flat out of New York with a very weak script and dare I say it too much glamour. There’s also a pathetically thrown in bad Irish accent for good measure to in the from of Charlotte’s nanny which made me begin to despise this two and a half hour flick.

Perhaps we all expected too much, this film had a whopper amount of publicity and tremendous presales on tickets that no matter how good it could have been we would have been let down. I just didn’t expect to be let down so much.
