This witless wad of fake, flabby fashionista feminism may actually be worse than the first (not easy). Shouldn’t gender equality mean more than merely being as repulsive as men? Our four self-absorbed, whiny commodity fetishists abandon the City (and any pretense at taste) to take the Sex to Abu Dhabi, apparently in order to set back Western-Muslim relations a few decades (“Lawrence of my Labia,” “Bedouin Bath and Beyond”) and take conspicuous consumption to new and garish lows. It even trots out a desperate Liza Minnelli. Hey, maybe they could make the second sequel a “Saw” flick. Now, that I’d go see.
