Stupid People!
Are you tired of films which seem needlessly complicated for the sake of it? Do Hollywood's so-called 'comedies' leave you scratching your head, wondering where all the jokes are? Did the high-concept plot of Furry Vengeance and the wordy humour of Marmaduke leave you with more questions than answers? Then fear not; You don't have to give up on cinema just yet. Simply watch Sex and the City 2.

The plot is a slightly dumbed-down rehash of 'Holiday On The Buses', and the three jokes in the film are not so much spoonfed to you as diced, mashed, liquidised, digested by enzymes and then flushed down your toilet to save you the bother. The writers have clearly realised that some people will pay to watch any old shit from that franchise, and so any old shit is served. The storyline was strung together like someone trying to make a Christmas decoration by hanging the last few crappy-looking baubles in the box on a string of mangey tinsel, and so you end up with scenes like the four main characters setting off on a camel ride in the desert, purely so that one of them can fall off the camel then hitch up her trousers, allowing another character to chortle "Oh look! You've got a CAMEL-TOE!!!".

If that sounds a bit visual for you, there are plenty of those much-loved scenes in which the characters sit around a table exchanging snappy dialogue. And by 'snappy dialogue' I of course mean 'Setting up a tortuous euphemism for intercourse and then dragging out as many references to it as possible, and then a few more'. Don't worry about keeping up - The side-splitting quips are spaced well apart, coming at you with the speed and frequency of good Primal Scream albums.

At one point, someone says "Abu Dhabi doo!"

All in all, if your brain was replaced by a ball of mince a long time ago, you'll find Sex and the City 2 a welcome break from Hollywood's usual impenetrable fare.

P.S. If you're still not sure whether this film is for you, simply check whether you read the previous sentence and squealed "Ooh! He said 'impenetrable'! That sounds a bit like 'penetrate', which is to do with sex!!! LOL!!!!!". If so, you'll love it.

P.P.S. Before you ask - About an hour's worth, before it got switched off. And the TV taken outside and burnt, just in case.

So I'm guessing your wife/girlfriend(/you?) is totally over the addiction now..?

Kinda like a coke hag scoring one day and realising this one's ALL talc.
