The Hollywood Reporter reviewer has branded the film, based on hit television drama about four American women, as "anti-Muslim", after watching the premiere.

'(Carrie) and her friends run up against the puritanical and misogynistic culture of the Middle East," the Herald Sun quoted the reviewer as stating, referring to an episode in the movie.

The critic added, 'The rather scathing portrayal of Muslim society no doubt will stir controversy, especially in a frothy summer entertainment, but there's something bracing about the film's saucy political incorrectness.'

'I think the one (rumour) that really still blows my mind is the idea that we are fighting, you know, that we would keep coming back to this environment and this situation time and time again voluntarily and not like each other is ludicrous.'

'And I think it also so misses the real characterisation of what happens in our lives and on this set and it is a great honour to be working with those women. They are the reason that I come back time and time again,' she added.
