So many things bother me about this film...

Charlotte wasn't being racist at all! Ever heard of Montezuma's revenge? Fear of getting sick from the water and food was her issue, not Mexicans.

My problem with Carrie is that, through the entire series, she was always justifying Big's actions. In her defense about the wedding, even though it was his third marriage, it was her first. Why shouldn't she have the big wedding and why wasn't it discussed from the beginning? If he had told her from the get go that he wanted to keep it under 100 guests, it probably wouldn't have gotten so out of hand.

I really wanted to bitch slap Big's work colleague for making those comments at the rehearsal dinner. Even after Samantha yelled at him, he still threw one more comment in.

IMO, Steve's cheating was way worse than leaving Carrie at the altar.

Lastly, Smith is hot!!

The blatant and open racism and disdain Americans show toward Mexico is grotesque.

I wish I could eat you so I could vomit you

I actually like this film but you pointed out everything that bugs me about it.

OH MY GOD. Charlotte was being overly careful about the food/water in a foreign land. And get this part too, people: Charlotte was already pregnant while in Mexico, she just didn't know it yet!! So of course her tummy and her hormones are already messing around with her.

But why should he get to dictate everything about the wedding. he had already had 2 weddings. This was her first. When Big married Natasha he didn't exactly go down to the courthouse. No there was a big splashy wedding. So why shouldn't carrie get her splashy wedding?

All through their relationship Carrie had to walk on eggshells around Big. Always making sure he was happy, always making sure he wouldn't freak out. Why should she have to keep doing that when they were getting married?

If the guy was freaking out about the marriage that was on him, not on her. She shouldn't have to marry him at the courthouse so as not to spook him.

Charlotte's "racism" to Mexico, huh?

First off, she wasn't being racist at all. Racism is directed towards individuals or a group of people as a whole, not places. So your use of this term in this context is incorrect. She was merely being cautious about the water, and rightfully so!

Second...I'm guessing you have never been to Mexico based on the level of ignorance contained in the content of your comments about it. Their water contains bacteria and microbes that clean American water does not, and if you are not used to ingesting it, you WILL get very, very sick. It's called Montezuma's Revenge and it's said to be the bane of lax Mexican tourists. I can assure you that it has put many unfortunate tourists in hospital with dehydration. It's some of the worst diarrhea one can get. I have been several times to different parts of Mexico and I can assure you that this movie did NOT exaggerate the level of caution a foreigner must take whilst staying in Mexico temporarily. It becomes very tedious, but one must brush their teeth with clean water and be very careful not to ingest any Mexican water whilst in the shower. And this is true of ANYPLACE in Mexico, including the so-called 5-star resorts! Sticking to bottled water and foods canned or sealed in plastic in America is definitely a good idea while one is in Mexico, and it's NOT racist to do so! Believe me, I have seen the ugly consequences of a lazy tourist eating a local piece of fruit grown with Mexican water! Also, let's not forget about the infamous Corona Beer scandal wherein it was discovered back in the 1980's that there was human urine found in sealed bottles of Corona coming out of their factories in Mexico. It pays to be cautious. And being cautious is NOT racism.

You seem to be very consumed with racism as a whole. Miranda going in to an empty apartment in New York City after the tenants had moved out and were therefore no longer there (whose race, by the way, we have NO idea of, so who's to say it's racism to begin with?) is perfectly fine, especially considering it was no longer the former tenants' apartment anyway. No harm, no foul. Also, she ended up renting the place, so she actually did the landlord a favour by "barging in" and looking at it.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that these four characters are supposed to be considered heroines. They are just four NYC women living their lives just like everyone else. They certainly weren't marketed as heroines here in America at any time.

-During the valentine scene, Carrie obviously says that she was beyond selfish about everything concerning the wedding.
