I'll add the plot and the names at the end, first let me say some things. I haven't seen the first one yet, still I enjoyed the series enough. There were up and downs but it was generally funny and nice, and I liked their friendship and the Manhattan life and how they were changing through the series, in a way 'growing up', so much that at the end of the series even Samantha was starting to feel her old life a bit ... you know, like, old , and was starting to consider relationships, and I know I haven't seen a whole bit of story missing the first movie, but in this one here Samantha is worse than ever. I guess they thought the audience wants her like this otherwise they don't like her... which I hope is not true because that would be so sad. Of course they're not going to make any more movies, or one day they'll have Samantha jump on every man in the hospice. I so did not like her big scenes in Abu Dhabi, I thought they were disrespectful and rude and gross, and to think that I remember when she used to say that with her it was 'class all the way'. Real class indeed :-/
Mind you, I liked Samantha in the series, but she was supposed to grow up like the others. Anyway she's not the only one I have to say something about: what about Carrie? She finally got the man she wanted, he's all happy to live with her but she's always complaining. They used to go out more, yes, but there was a time when they were younger and single, then people move on, which does not mean simply make do with what you have because you can't have what you had, not at all. What she has now it's no way less then what she had, it's just different. In the series she went out to have fun with her friends and to meet men at the same time, now she keeps saying she wants to stay with him and do things with him, and yet she only wants to do what she always used to when she was alone. So selfish, and a bit stupid too: she made such a big deal out of him buying a television, as if that meant doom for the relationship, and she could take a few days at her old apartment alone, without consulting him before; not that she needed to, but then when he says they could make that a regular thing, to take a couple of days alone, each of them, she panics! He wants time alone without me, sigh sigh! What a face, that's exactly what she did herself, but he can't. He was only trying to please her, in a way, but the poor man could not understand what she wanted. And then, when she calls him to tell him she kissed her old boyfriend, he says nothing and when she comes back home he gives her a ring... this is not a comedy, this is science-fiction, Mr Big is more fictional than spider man.
Can I start about Charlotte, now? She never noticed that her nanny is a beautiful girl who likes to go around with her breast naked, as if that was a normal thing, which is not. She's so burned that she's not worried that her husband might cheat on her, but that she might lose the nanny! She can't deal with her little baby always crying or her little girl wanting some of her time, which might of course be very much understandable with real women who have lots to do , always, every day, but in her case what do I see? She doesn't seem to have a job, and if she has it it must not take much of her time anyway. What I saw was Charlotte in her perfect house making cupcakes for some event concerning the children (I think) and she did it while chatting on the phone and thus ignoring her girl's questions, and then she yelled at her when the poor little thing ruined her skirt. Well now, if you're so dumb to be cooking with two children while wearing vintage fashion - white!!! - then you have no right to be yelling at her. You are the one who is stupid and wrong.
This whole movie also portrayed people who like money even more than fashion. Everything was shamely rich. Disgustingly rich.
The whole plot is around the four friends going on a trip to Abu Dhabi because Samantha might have a new business contract there, but as soon as they arrive they go crazy! Samantha has no respect at all for where she is, thinking every place should adapt to her american way, never the other way around. Carrie meet Aidan again, and she goes out of her mind too. Of course it would end with him kissing her, of course, but she went anyway to meet him. She's the one that was confused, but instead of admitting it she threw all the blame on Big wanting some time alone, then after the kiss she went crazy again: I don't want secrets, I can't keep this inside me, I must tell him right away! Sure, on the phone from far far away, so now she feels lighter and he feels like shit. What a good girl..
I really can't understand why Aidan is so crazy about her, now. He has his own family, and I didn't remember him like the kind of guy who would do something like that.
Then there was Miranda... and here I finally have nothing against her. She had his usual job, but with added trouble because her new boss could not deal with intelligent powerful women, like many pathetic people, so at the end she finally leaves that job to start a new one where she's more appreciated, has more time for her family and is less stressed. Good for her.
