For these 4 main characters, 2 years have passed, and changes are afoot. The film played out like a mini-season marathon of "Sex and the City" episodes, with some running gags to keep the character arcs in play, but the film start and sputters on the various subplots, and then cuts to Samantha with a queued up zinger (and she did deliver, so she was bringing the funny) as the go-to button hook.
Carrie and Big need a shot of relationship viagra, Charlotte is somewhat overwhelmed by 2 young daughters and a hot full-time nanny who doesn't believe in wearing support clothing for her mammary glands (kudos for the slow-mo proof), and Miranda is faced with a career stuck in neutral and slowly going in reverse while trying to balance her home life, and Samantha is dealing with menopause issues.
Fans of the show will enjoy the film, even with the bumpiness in the script as there are some scenes that mothers will respond to in earnest, as will the rest of its demographic (nowadays, probably women in the 30-55 age range) on other topics dealing with relationships, grrl empowerment, and life changes.
I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+. (I admit to laughing quite a bit, but it's also a 2.5 hour movie that felt like 3.5 hours)
