Kevin McCarthy Movie Review 05/27/10 - Sex and the City 2

WASHINGTON - ‘Sex and the City 2’ is out in theatres now. The sequel is set in a scene that takes it half a world away from New York. So does it live up to the hype? Movie reviewer Kevin McCarthy is here to give his take.

Sex and the City 2 does not live up to the slightly above average first film. The flick loses that sparkle, conflict and surprise factor which made the show and first film so enjoyable. The sequel felt very safe and bland at times.

I really loved the first thirty minutes of the film but you could feel it start to drag throughout. As a guy, what makes the show and the first film so special was Samantha's character. She basically thinks and acts like a guy with her foul mouth and constant addiction to sex. Even her character felt forced and tired this time around.

Oddly enough, I used to watch the show with my parents when I was in high school and it was always interesting to see what or who Samantha would do next. I will never forget the awkward feeling I had when watching the episode with her and the sex swing. There is just something very uncomfortable about watching a scene like that with your parents.

Her sexual jokes were always funny because she was the complete opposite of her other characters. This time around, her jokes were overdone and that became obvious when the other characters would finish her jokes for her. It was if they had heard the jokes as many times as we had and knew it was getting old.
