Rounded up by Jezebel:SATC 2: Painfully Clichéd, “Epic Eyesore”

My favorite quotes:

NYM: “The film is an epic eyesore. It’s as if they set out to make a movie that said, “You’re right! We are hideous!”“

NY Observer: “Dragging its deplorable carcass into infinity, Sex and the City 2 is so bad you can’t even watch the trailer…The insipid screenplay and catatonic direction seem chloroformed…You can’t make caviar out of jujubes”

Ebert: “Carrie also narrates the film, providing useful guidelines for those challenged by its intricacies. Sample: “Later that day, Big and I arrived home.”” (To be fair, they did this in the TV show quite often as well)

WaPo: ” Judging from that interminable, painfully forced sequence, in which every homophobic stereotype is indulged, overstated and beaten to within an inch of its reductive life, a thread of self-hatred animates this “Sex and the City” that was only hinted at in previous incarnations…”Sex and the City 2” uses feminist arguments to preempt the criticism it so richly deserves.”
