It's so funny that Anthony, as a wedding planner, lets Stanford take over the wedding plans in SATC2. Mario Cantone rocks by the way. :)

I think Charlotte went about Judaism the wrong way (what she did isn't rare because it happens a lot, I just don't agree with it). I never believed in conversion when it is based on a love interest. I believe that people should be equally yoked and that sets the context for who they date. For me, faith is about faith and not about a man. I believe in following the faith and finding the man. There are plenty of men in every religion/faith. I don't believe in following the man and finding the faith.

Mario Cantone lives in the neighborhood where I work, so I see him from time to time. :)

Didn't Stanny and Anthony make out on New Year's in the first movie?

Rabbis don't believe in conversion just to marry, either; but some realize that if the non-Jewish person doesn't convert or is denied the opportunity to do so, then the chance that they'll raise their children as Jewish really declines. In the case of Charlotte, she did it JUST for Harry, which backfired when she yelled about "giving up Christ for [him]!" If she had done it sincerely for herself as well as for the relationship, that would never have happened.

This is why she had to stalk the Rabbi at his house (Harry told her that the Rabbi was giving her a hard time like they do to all converts).

Harry left her after she announced that she switched religions for him. They reunited at the event that Charlotte attended with hopes of finding him. The women scoffed at how there were no single Jewish men--they were all bald. She was hoping her bald Jewish man would be who these women were talking about. Awwww.

All of these conflicts were introduced in the first 30 minutes, and they made sense for where these characters are in their lives. But instead of dealing with them, the women ran to the other side of the world. How unsatisfying. In Abu Dhabi, the only story line that was really picked up was Carrie's conflict and that was done so in an unsatisfactory way. Then they turn around and wrap it up in a neat little bow at the end, as though they did anything at all with these issues.

The women did look haggard, and I couldn't figure out why. There are ways, technical ways, to fix those flaws (to soften and stuff) but for some reason they weren't. I didn't get it.

LOL. I had originally put Russian and called myself correcting myself. :) He was Russian in Paris. Thanks. I now remember that Carrie wanted her body massager (or body waxer) to teach her some Russian words.

For the record, she was waxing her woman region in preparation for intimacy with Petrovsky.

No matter how much I see these episodes (and damn near have the dialogue memorized like I have the movie :)), I still can't pass up SATC.
