SATC2
So I went along to the movie last night, expecting the very worst after reading all the reviews. I think Rotten Tomatoes gave it 17%. Well, for someone who never watched the TV show and was surprised when she really enjoyed the first one, I didn't think the sequel was all that bad. In fact as the credits were rolling, I thought to myself "were they really expecting it to be life-changing??" It's just another girlie movie. Great clothes, lots of indulgence, not the strongest storyline... but it that so surprising? The writers also could have been a little more sensitive in regards to their depiction of middle eastern culture, but I'd guess that plenty of American tourists behave pretty closely to what was portrayed. I only wish that they'd mentioned the comfort factor of the traditional clothing in those very hot climates (that bit always gets left out). I have a girlfriend who holidayed there and she told me the burka etc keeps you cooler. I'm glad I went. Could possibly have had something to do with the great company, but I did enjoy the night. Hot Tip: Only take a bloke to see it if he's into bronzed Aussie footballers in speedos.
