(Sarah Jessica Parker) and her friends Mi- randa (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) two years after the last film ended. Carrie, happily married to Mr. Big (Chris Noth), has been feathering their handsome Up- per East Side nest, while the others navi- gate motherhood, careers and meno- pause. As the story takes them to a free- bie junket in Abu Dhabi, the script visits one indignity after another upon “the girls,” from Miranda’s desperate whoops of fake glee to Samantha’s compulsive penchant for dirty puns. Carrie & Co. run amok, dressed like the offspring of Bar- num & Bailey and Alexis Carrington, mak- ing jokes about burqas and, in Samantha’s case, engaging in exhibitionistic displays that border on the psychotic, making a mockery of the surface pleasures that the series could always be counted on to pro-
vide. (R, 140 minutes) Contains strong sex- ual content and profanity. Area theaters.
— A.H. BBBSHREK FOREVER AFTER
The Shrek we meet at the start of this film is a shell of an ogre: mean and green on the outside, but all mellow yellow in- side. In an attempt to get back some of his mojo, Shrek (voice of Mike Myers) makes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn) for 24 hours in his old life. In re- turn, Rumpelstiltskin gets to take a day from Shrek’s life. Rumpelstiltskin picks the day Shrek was born, meaning that, while Shrek now finds himself in a world
of responsibility, it’s also a world in which all the good he’s done has had no effect. He didn’t rescue his wife, Fiona (Cameron Diaz). Rumpelstiltskin is now king and the kingdom a police state run by witches who hunt down ogres. Fiona is the leader of the ogre resistance movement. Fortu- nately, there’s an escape clause: If he and Fiona share “true love’s kiss,” Shrek gets his life back. All he has to do is make Fio- na fall in love with him — all over again. If he doesn’t, he’ll evaporate come sunrise.
(PG, 98 minutes) Contains slapsticky action and bathroom humor. Area theaters.
