sex-and-the-city-2-trailer-1

The holiday trailer flood continues today with three new clips for one film that has a large, eager audience and two that, to be fair, probably don’t. Sex and the City 2 was inevitable, given the success of the first film, and this is the first footage from the second theatrical reunion of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristen Davis and Cynthia Nixon.

Michael Patrick King once again writes and directs; he produced the show and wrote, produced and directed the first film. The trailer is a lot of glitz and promise and some shots of Morocco, which was the production’s second location choice after Dubai refused to allow filming. I didn’t see the first film, though I often got a kick out of the show. Unless I’m told that there’s some of the harder-edged comedy of sexual politics that made the show interesting, I expect I’ll skip this one, too. Not that it’ll have any trouble attracting a massive audience.

After the break, some depressing stuff from J-Lo in The Back-up Plan and Brendan Fraser in Furry Vengeance.

On an even more broad, ridiculous-looking romantic comedy note, there’s the return of Jennifer Lopez in The Back-up Plan. J-Lo is a woman who wants to have a baby, so she’s inseminated, and then promptly meets the perfect guy. There’s a great comedy to be made out of the difficulties faced when a couple gets together and has to deal with a baby that isn’t the product of those two people. This probably isn’t it.

Instead we appear to get a bunch of stalking jokes and J-Lo trying to walk while keeping the insemination process from, um, reversing itself. This one is from CBS Films, and along with Extraordinary Measures and Beastly, the company has quite the horrific little gift set in the offing.

Finally, there’s Furry Vengeance. Brendan Fraser fights critters who want to stop a forest-destroying commercial development. It’s got self-aware animals and airbag and ’sprinkler to the crotch’ jokes. If you’re six, have at it. Otherwise, the less said, the better. (I do want to know: how do the animals know what’s up? Actually, scratch that. I don’t want to know.) Just watch Pom Poko, OK? [Apple, click the link or the image below to check it out.]

    While at the theatre for Avatar, i saw a glittery movie poster that had some girl in it and in big letters "CARRIE" and then a "2" to the side. As thoughts of a sequel to the Stephen King based movie came to mind, I shook my head in sadness. Then I saw in smaller letters at the bottom, "Sex and the City." "Oh yes! No. Wait. DAAAAAAAMB!"
  • Oh boy. I misread the headline. I thought Sex and the City 2's subtitle was Furry Vengeance. Now THAT would have been a movie I'd pay to see.
  • What the hell happened to Brendan Fraser? I thought he was going to be a real movie star and he just took the one-way road to movie suckitude.

  • Sex and the City 2, The Back-Up Plan, and Furry Vengeance


    what are three movies i will not see.
  • james22
    surprisingly The Back-Up Plan looks like the best of the 3, i don't mind a rom-com once in a while and this one looks fun and Jlo is Hot so that doesn't hurt !
  • Okay. I am in the target audiece for Sex and the City and I don't mind. I liked the series and the first movie, but for the marketing on this one, WHY do they have to add sparkly diamonds onto everything? Does that make me want to see it more? The answer is no. Dumb.
  • The women like the Cosmos and the diamonds and the being catty. Right?
  • RussFischer
    I actually wondered about that. Seemed really counter to the whole aesthetic of the series.
  • Russ is it just me, or can you see Dreamworks suing Summit, because Furry Vengeance a rip of Over the Hedge. similar plot and so bit in the preview are bit from over the hedge. ie the skunk and gas being use to to show the sell
  • RussFischer
    I didn't see Over the Hedge, so I can't say. I've noticed other people making the comparison, though. As for a lawsuit? Seems very unlikely, but I suppose Dreamworks could cobble something together if they really wanted to.
