“Back to the humdrum married life of our gal Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and the loathsome Mr. Big (Chris Noth). Carrie, honey, how can you endure life with this purring, narcissistic, soft-velvet idiot? He speaks loudly enough to be heard mostly by himself, his most appreciative audience. And he never wants to leave the house at night, preferring to watch classic black-and-white movies on TV. This leads to a marital crisis. Carrie thinks they should talk more. But sweetheart, Mr. Big has nothing to say. At least he’s provided you with a Manhattan apartment that looks like an Architectural Digest wet dream.”
…so Roger Ebert in der Sun Times. Auch der restliche Film war nicht seine Tasse Tee:
“Some of these people make my skin crawl. The characters of “Sex and the City 2” are flyweight bubbleheads living in a world which rarely requires three sentences in a row. (…) Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) has the two little girls she thought she wanted, but now discovers that they actually expect to be raised. Mothers, if you are reading, run this through your head. One little girl dips her hands in strawberry topping and plants two big handprints on your butt. You are on the cell to a girlfriend. How do you report this? You moan and wail out: “My vintage Valentino!” Any mother who wears her vintage Valentino while making muffin topping with her kids should be hauled up before the Department of Children and Family Services.”
(Roger Ebert in der Chicago Sun Times über die Figur Mr. Big im zweiten Teil von “Sex & The City”)
Schmähkritik zum 1. Teil:
* Diederichsen über Sex & The City
… ich finde Mr. Big total dämlich und unrealistisch. Vorallendingen, dass er einfach geht, ständig andere Frauen hat und immer nur sagt… “ohh… ja, ich wollte dich anrufen, hab aber eine neue Freundin” . Und das nur ein paar Wochen später … und ein paar Wochen wieder danach gibt’s wieder Sex … und das ständig -.- Was soll daran bitte realistisch sein?
