Editorial Review:
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 a Romeo & Juliet family-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
Coming of Age Adventure based on Ann Brashares' best-selling novel about a special 16th summer in the lives of four lifelong friends who are separated for the first time. On a shopping trip the girls find a pair of thrift-shop jeans that fits each of them perfectly and they decide to use these "magic" pants as a way of keeping in touch over the months ahead each girl wearing the jeans for a week to see what luck they bring her before sending them on to the next. Though miles apart the four friends still experience life love and loss together in a summer they'll never forget.Running Time: 119 min.System Requirements: Running Time 119 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG UPC: 012569593343 Manufacturer No: 59334

Rating: - Traveling Pants DVD
I enjoyed this DVD, but not as much as the book. I didn't like the changes they made from the book to the movie. But it was still fun to watch; I would definitely recommend reading the book first.
Rating:  - great chick flick
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Full Screen Edition)
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie even my husband liked it.
I was familiar with the books but had never seen the movie. You will probably need 2 tissues!!!
Rating: - well-constructed story
To start off with, I am a middle-aged male. I want to praise the writers for the skill in coordinating four different stories. All sorts of the things could have gone wrong -- the audience could have gotten confused, or the stories could get repetitive, or some stories could have overwhelmed others. But they did it so well that it's unobtrusive. Also, having four good actresses with distinct personalties helped.
My main complaint is the Bridget subplot. Probably because of the PG ... Read More
Rating: - Amazing
Surprisingly, many people have said this was a terrible movie because it was not related to the book at all. I found it to be exactly the opposite. The movie followed the storyline fairly closely. It was a great movie, and Amber Tamblyn was my favorite actor. The only big difference I noticed is that they took out Lena's little sister, Effie, but she isn't that important in the first book anyway. I hope they don't make movie sequels, though - that would ruin it. I definitely recommend this movie to ... Read More
Rating:  - SIMPLY AWESOME
I highly reccomend this for the pre-adolescent and adolescent females in the household. There is some great life lessons to be learned about acceptance, first loves, and separation. Particular standouts are Amber Tamblyn and America Ferrara. I would have given it more stars if there weren't so many references to soccer.
