The most cringe inducing moments....

Being a fan of the series and first film, it pains me to admit that Sex and the City 2 was atrocious in every aspect of the word. Where does one even begin when it comes to mentioning what's wrong with this film? A large part of the problem, I believe, is the fashion, which is largely out of touch with characters we've loved for longer than a decade. The wardrobe of each individual lady, throughout the series and also the first film, effectively did a great deal of revealing just who they were as people. Clothing and accessories were always used as a means of expression- to help tell each ladies' story. Based on the fashion present in Sex and the City 2, you would swear you never knew Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha.

A tiny fraction of the wardrobe is forgivable. All of the ladies look wonderfully glamorous at the gay wedding near the film's start, and there are a few other outfits here and there that are stunning, fashionable or trendy, at the very least. Other than that everything on display is an overly decadent eye sore; the clothing too costumey, the jewelry too clunky, the heels too bawdy. Much of the fashion appears either outdated (i.e. Miranda's blazer when on the plane to Abu Dhabi screams early 90's), outlandish (Carrie's hideous beekeeper-style hat when on the plane ride) or tasteless (many, many of Samantha's outfits throughout the entire film). One get's the feeling that the clothes are wearing the girls instead of the other way around. And while the costumes worn during the karaoke scene would look fine on the Spice Girls, they're entirely too much for these four ladies to be wearing. Also, remember in the first film how flowers showed up in a lot of Carrie's wardrobe as an homage to the show? Well, in place of that we now get Samantha and a whole lot of spikes...yes, spikes! I kept thinking, is there some reason why Samantha is walking around looking like a human pincushion? They're everywhere! There's simply no rhyme or reason to a lot of what we're given. To be fair, though, the ever-tasteful Charlotte maintains her restrained and classy sense of style amidst all of this messy fashion debacle.

From the ill-fitting to the out-of-style, and the sickeningly vibrant to the daringly dreadful, Sex and the City 2 has all of the fashion flops anyone could ever hope to find, all thrown together in one film for your convenience. The real tragedy, however, is that these style mishaps weren't the least bit honest to our four favorite ladies...

I actually enjoyed this camp film in all of its ridiculous splendor. It wasn't as good as the television show, or the first movie, but it was fun to watch- for me. HOWEVER, one thing that did make me CRINGE was Samantha's god-awful red dress with the huge spikes on the shoulder. It looked dangerous, like someone could fall on it and get injured. It was too young, weird, and dangerous- even for Samantha. She could have looked so nice in a more tasteful, but still sexy, club dress.

We should all see this film again in 10 or 20 years: by then the clothes they wear in the film will be completely out of date, ridiculous and as bad as the ugly dresses, skirts and blouses you see in movies from the 80's when women tried to be elegant. That will be cringeworthy.

These films will age very badly. They will be laughable. And the drama with these ageing 40-50 year old women who whine about the most pathetic things of their miserable lives will sound stupider than stupid.

Entire movie was a pathetic hot mess. These women (and I use the term lightly) made me nauseous. The clothing was ridiculous and downright ugly most of the time - fashion icons for blind people?

The start when that "Irish" babysitter came along. As an Irish person, I can tell you, NONE OF US SOUND LIKE THAT! Everyone in my theatre cringed and some people laughed awkwardly and left shortly afterwards.

"Do you have anything to declare?"
"Yes, i'm a mess"
Without a doubt... the worst line in SATC ever

Do guys like "the thing"?
They like it better than no thing.

- When Carrie said "I'm more Coco Chanel than Coq au vin" (Big cringe)

- everytime Carrie was being told that she is different from other women (Both Aiden and Big said it).

- Liza Minelli's singing and the crowd's reaction to it

- the karakoe scene

and so forth...
