Sex and the City 2 is a 2010 American romantic comedy-drama film written, co-produced, and directed by Michael Patrick King. It is the sequel to the 2008 film Sex and the City, which is based on the 1998-2004 HBO comedy series of the same name (itself based on the book of the same name by Candace Bushnell).
Theatrically released on May 27, 2010, in the United States and May 28, 2010, in the United Kingdom, the film stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Chris Noth, who reprised their roles from the previous film and television series. It also features cameo appearances from Liza Minnelli, Miley Cyrus, Tim Gunn, Ron White, Omid Djalili, and Penélope Cruz, as well as Broadway actors, Norm Lewis, Kelli O'Hara, and Ryan Silverman.
Despite largely negative reviews from critics, the film was a commercial success, grossing over $294 million from a $95 million budget. It also did well in home video sales, debuting at number one in the U.S and the U.K selling almost one million copies. The film was nominated for seven Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture, and won three of them; Parker, Cattrall, Davis, and Nixon for Worst Actress, Worst Screen Ensemble, and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel.
