SEX AND THE CITY 2 – michael patrick king – 1.1 / 10

At this point, after six seasons on HBO, countless reruns on TBS and a feature film, you know what you’re getting with Sex and the City 2. And it’s tempting to just say this sort of thing isn’t for me and ignore it (or, more accurately, pretend it doesn’t exist). But by making claims of feminism and female empowerment, Sex and the City demands a closer examination. If these films (and the TV series) are as important as the people involved in making them seem to believe they are, we’re in a lot of trouble. Because the truth is that Sex and the City’s view of women is as vapid and patronizing as anything you’ll see in a Michael Bay movie.
