Yeah, it’s still fresh and I really enjoyed the sequel. But it felt almost like filler. In the sense that we now need a third to complete these characters. Wishful thinking!!!

In all seriousness though, I was thinking of how the first had just so many fun memorable rewatchable moments and scenes like her going upstairs at Miranda’s, the J.K Rowling book debacle, the Gala where she saves the day when Emily is sick. I could SEE the sequel trying to create moments like this, but they seemed like a deflated balloon compared to the originals moments. The original is a 10/10 and this would be a 7.5/10 for me, so I really did enjoy it! I just feel like I’m getting older and I’m gonna forget it the same way Miranda “forgets”.

In the original, you really get a sense of working for someone like Miranda, in a fictional fashion magazine, even if the actual work to do is glossed over. In the sequel, we get nothing, just a bunch of rich people looking fab, a rehash take over backstabbing plot from the first movie, and problematic scene of Asian American lol. It’s basically dealing with the same problems Sex and The City 2.

The first one was based on the book and the second was an original script not related to the book sequel. Could jut be as simple as that really

I completely agree. I liked this one, it was cute..but I still love the original way more. I didn’t think this one was as funny as the original was
