[Zeenat Ebrahim] People expect happy endings and that's what we give them but is this really 'Life As We Know It?'

[Zeenat Ebrahim] After setting the trend with the debut of Sex and the City: The Movie, it was a disappointment to find that its sequel was nothing more than a lavish expense of landscape and fashion frilled with issues from four girlfriends who jet-set to Abu Dhabi and dig their heads in the sand.

A simple slice of life...who's hungry?

[Zeenat Ebrahim] When I saw the title 'The Boys Are Back' I envisioned something adventurous going down LA-style but after doing some research it was pretty clear that this was going to be a little more subtle and sentimental than a group of guys doing something drastic.
