The Sisterhood of the Trave... > Wiki

Who would expect a gimmick like a pair of magical pants to be the hook for such a smart, charming, and emotionally rich teen movie? Four close friends discover a pair of pants that fit them all perfectly, even though they're physically very different. Since all four are going in different directions for the summer, they pledge to each wear the pants for a week and then mail them to the next girl. In Greece, Lena (Alexis Bledel,Gilmore Girls) lands in the middle of aRomeo & Julietfamily-feud romance; Carmen (America Ferrera,Real Women Have Curves) discovers that her estranged father is about to marry a blonde Southern belle; Bridget (newcomer Blake Lively) flirts with love at a Mexican soccer camp; and Tibby (Amber Tamblyn,Joan of Arcadia) stays home and gets a boring retail job to pay for her documentary film--but finds herself with an unwanted young assistant (Jenna Boyd,The Missing). These four stories manage to cover an amazing amount of ground (touching on race, body issues, divorce, mortality, and more) without resorting to stereotypes or easy resolutions. The engaging characters are brought to vivid life by these four talented actresses, who grab this excellent script and run with it. One of the best movies about teenage life in a long, long time.--Bret Fetzer

THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS (if you haven't read the novel by Ann Brashares) sounds like another silly, goofy chick flick, a made for summer popcorn movie for teenage girls to love and teenage boys to tolerate. But the title should NOT prevent the general audience from experiencing a truly tender, warm, balanced film about four teenage girlfriends bonded by a magical pair of jeans.    There are four stories here, each centered on the summer experiences of the four girls …

Pros: Cute, unique story, fairly close to book     Cons: Sometimes cheesy, a few changes from the book, at times poor supporting cast     The Bottom Line: Good for a girls' night out!     A girlfriend of mine asked me to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants with her and, being a huge fan of the books so far, I agreed. We made it a girls' night out; four of us, a fun movie, ring pops to connect us (cute idea, but maybe not for all 20-something …
