Saw the midnight showing and it was pretty clear during the opening credits that there was no movie.
The SEX AND THE CITY story ended when Big and Carrie got married. The foundation of the entire series was centered on the question whether or not Big and Carrie would stay together.
The first movie could stretch out the question to whether they could marry. They did. End of story.
The sequel tries valiantly to create something out of nothing. It has all the shiny ornaments (fashion, cocktails etc.) but no Christmas tree to hang them on.

Samantha's reference to "Lawrence of My Labia" is also getting a lot of notice.

Other puns - so I've heard - include "Abu Dhabi doo," "mid-wife crisis" and "Erin go braless."

"Lawrence of My Labia," " French Fry Burqua Lady" and such comes off as strained and forced.
All of that stuff might be amusing if there was a solid story as foundation. But there is no story. The first film resolved the big question the entire series was about and the writer couldn't find an equivalent dramatic question that would move the characters forward.
What it does have on its side is the chance to visit these characters again... but that is only enough to mildly interest the fans.. not enough to satisfy them.
I actually give them credit for trying and making the most out of nothing.
SEX AND THE CITY is done.

Any fans of the novel WICKED read the follow up SON OF A WITCH?
Remember how boring, seemingly endless and ultimately pointless it was, though every now and then you'd get bit of something interesting?
That is sorta what SEX AND THE CITY 2 is like.

ultimately pointless
That pretty much sums up SEX AND THE CITY for me from the very first episode.
I absolutely hated that stupid, "Which SEX AND THE CITY" character are you most like"? game gay guys for some reason always had to play when they got together in groups. Like it was some sort of honor to be compared to one of those vacuous, materialistic, shallow characters. Everything about the show reeked.

Sorry Phyllis, but that particular response had Carrie all over it.

As opposed to the less inane things groups of drunk gay men talk about? The offense you describe sounds like some people having fun talking about something they mutually enjoy (with the exception of the one sourpuss in the corner sipping diet organic water from a biodegradable bottle). Dear God, MAKE THEM STOP!

The visceral contempt for the series is something I don't get. Nor do I get why people keep repeating the "they act like gay men" meme.
Also, I'm more a Steve at this point.

I don't know who I resemble, but I want to be Charlotte. No matter what I say, just tell me I'm such a Charlotte and maybe I can get off this damn Zoloft.

If we're not supposed to choose characters from Sex in the City and Golden Girls is already cliche, what does that leave us? Queer as Folk? I don't want to be anyone from that show. Except maybe Sharon Gless. Not her dippy character, but SHARON GLESS. I love her. And Tyne Daly. Either one would do. OH! Did anyone else catch them on Graham Norton? That bit with the women's restroom was HYSTERICAL!
