Ladies and the City

After months of waiting, finally “Sex and the City 2 “movie hit the cinema, and just like two years ago when the first movie came up, I watched it with Nat, S, and J. Only this time it’s J plus one, since J is now married. Nevertheless, it feels like the old time.

The plot took place two years after Carrie and Big tied the knot, and focused on their relationship after the “I do”. It is very refreshing to see the girls back in the big screen. Carrie, the ever so complex heroine, Miranda, the workaholic mother of one, Charlotte, the domestic goddess, and of course, daring Samantha who shows us that you could still look fabulous in your 50s.

What makes the plot more interesting is the reappearance of Aidan, Carrie’s ex boyfriend. Sex and the city’s fans (including myself) hold their breath as the two encountered in the middle of Abu Dhabi desert, and as Carrie struggles with her past and present relationship, Charlotte has to deal with her own fear of not being able to handle her kids, while Samantha got involved in a serious scandal that made the girls got banished from their dazzling Abu Dhabi’s suite.

Sex and the City 2 may not be as dramatic or as extravagant as the first movie, but Director Michael Patrick King certainly hasn’t lost his touch. With beautiful landscape, extraordinary fashion, and solid performance of our beloved Manhattan girls, watching this movie is like riding a magic carpet and entering the exotic world of Scheherazade and her tale of one thousand and one nights
