“This movie was unnecessary once again. I get it. These characters are fun characters and people like watching them interact but i just once again feel like there was nothing to be said once again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe glaring issue is this movie is also too long. 2 and a half hours! That is 5 times the run time of a single episode of the original series. That is a big jump and i donu0026#39;t think it works especially when then story isnu0026#39;t there to support the long run time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI actually found this movie slightly funnier than the previous but only by a slight margin. But i just couldnu0026#39;t get past the blah-ness.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKim Cattrall is great as always but why she is also great is sheu0026#39;s the only thing stopping them making a third movie, so good on her. They would keep making them because like i said people love these characters, i do too but i donu0026#39;t want to see them just like flounder around the screen not growing or developing. I said it in the last review that these characters have plateaued. They have reached their end and big surprise they ended once again where we started with them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI do want to mention the start of this movie because it was the strangest thing id seen all week, Liza Minelli singing Single Ladies. That maybe even be enough to make the film watchable.”
