What were they thinking?
This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. My wife is a big fan of the show and has watched all seasons several times, so I've caught plenty of the show and generally enjoy it. This is nothing like the show. Carrie's character is completely different (and incredibly irritating). The trip to Abu Dhabi seems totally forced and almost like a advertisement from their tourism agency. There is no plot. Lots of jokes about Samantha having to cover up (haha suppression of women haha so funny - not.), burkas, burqinis, etc. I couldn't get past much after they got off the plane, and my wife fell asleep shortly after. My wife had already seen this before and warned me it was pretty bad but before I left she said "This is even worse than I remember!". Any women reading consider this - This movie was so bad some woman's husband was upset enough to log onto Amazon and write this review *days later*. That's right, the terribleness haunted me until I finally just had to vent my frustration and try to warn others. You are doing yourself a favor for your overall enjoyment of this series by skipping this one, trust me, please.
