These wan domestic squabbles are merely prelude to the movie's major plot development. Samantha is approached by an Arab sheik to devise a PR campaign for his business enterprises, and he offers to fly her and her three gal pals on an all-expenses-paid luxury vacation to Abu Dhabi. (These scenes were filmed in Morocco.) Even in an escapist fantasy, the spectacle of women sinking into this billionaire's paradise at a time of widespread economic hardship initially seems creepy and off-putting. Soon, however, their Arab sojourn takes unexpected turns. First of all, Carrie encounters her old flame, Aidan (John Corbett), at the spice market, but even more importantly, she and her friends run up against the puritanical and misogynistic culture of the Middle East. The rather scathing portrayal of Muslim society no doubt will stir controversy, especially in a frothy summer entertainment, but there's something bracing about the film's saucy political incorrectness. Or is it politically correct? "SATC 2" is at once proudly feminist and blatantly anti-Muslim, which means that it might confound liberal viewers.

I didn’t know they made a “Golden Girls” movie. Which one is Estelle Getty?
I know a lot of freepers hate this series but I found it interesting that there may be an anti-Muslim theme running through it.
I am so glad to read this...makes me smile! I kinda loved the first movie and was hesitant to read this review. GLAD I DID!
Slags in the city
I’m hereby issuing a fatwa on those NYC girls!
Behead all those who say Mohammed isn’t peaceful!
I would like to see this movie, right after I swallow a HotWheels car and pass it out my anus.
One of the leading actresses is a lesbian in real life I heard. Not sure which one. Sure it ain’t Sarah Jessica.
Cynthia Nixon is a late blooming one. She lived with her boyfriend for years and had several children with him.
I think it is the red head. Not sure.
OMG!!!
Surprising if it's true... thanks for the review.

Cynthia Nixon as “Miranda Hobbes” is the one.
Not that I as a straight male am a fan of the show/movie(s)! I can not stand it at all I learned about it thru time, hard not to get tidbits of such a(n) (in)famous show from just being alive
Read the over the top comments at the bottom .
Good grief.. there was a Sex and the City 1?
The other day, john f’ing kerry walked up to Sarah Jessica Parker and asked “why the long face?”
Just remember, 30% of every dollar you spend at the movies is used to either directly or indirectly support or propagate liberal causes and/or philosophies.
Change title to Shags in the City.
