serious fun

some films are supposed to be mindless. sex and the city, from the title alone, definitely falls into such a category. but there is good fun and bad fun. i enjoyed the first instalment, but the 2nd one is crap. sheer indulgence with little regard for continuity, strong narrative motivation, or even decent and convincing acting (not even compelling yet)

cannot stand just writing off things with the security blanket that genre apparently provides. fun does not mean stupid. yikes
