<P> The film was also criticized for its portrayal of the Middle East . Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter called it "blatantly anti-Muslim" and Hadley Freeman of the UK broadsheet The Guardian described the trailers as "borderline racist". </P> <P> Andrew O'Hagan of the London Evening Standard described the film as ugly on the inside and ended by saying, "This could be the most stupid, the most racist, the most polluting and women - hating film of the year". </P> <P> Roger Ebert gave the film one star out of four; he wrote, "I am obliged to report that this film will no doubt be deliriously enjoyed by its fans, for the reasons described above . Male couch potatoes dragged to the film against their will may find some consolation . Reader, I must confess that while attending the sneak preview with its overwhelmingly female audience, I was gob - smacked by the delightful cleavage on display ." </P> <P> Lindy West wrote a noted review of the film, saying that "SATC2 takes everything that I hold dear as a woman and as a human--working hard, contributing to society, not being an entitled cunt like it's my job--and rapes it to death with a stiletto that costs more than my car . It is 146 minutes long, which means that I entered the theater in the bloom of youth and emerged with a family of field mice living in my long, white mustache . This is an entirely inappropriate length for what is essentially a home video of gay men playing with giant Barbie dolls ." </P>
