The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)

Just perfect...

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

3 years ago I read the series to the sisterhood of the traveling pants,I never got to see the movies.Only a few days ago I decided to read the series again,vaguely remembering anything that really happened in the books.I also only recently found out that they made 2 movies for them too so right after I just finished the series I saw the movies and I have to say I am disappointed.I know the books are pretty much always considered better than the movies because you imagine everything yourself and how everything goes but the movie was just completely different,I really feel like they could have made a movie for each book instead of just jumbling some parts all into one movie.I really really wish they would create a series of movies and have more of the details and use different actors too.I don't know I just feel like a lot was missing.you might think there wasn't enough in each book to make a movie for each but I really think it could have worked.

I don't know if it was a different version I saw, I live on a military base, but the cinematic side of things was HORRIBLE. 75% of the scenes either had a wandering boom stick or were shot it such horrible angles that part of the actor's faces were cut off. I cannot believe for the life of me that they would have actually released this to theatres with so many errors involved.In addition this sequel was a bland second to the first movie. Ill chosen shots and verbal lines being most of the problem. Being someone with an extensive background in the industry I couldn't go more than ten minutes without noticing something else that was wrong.Not worth the money to see, even in a discount theatre. Maybe I'll netflix it when it comes out on DVD to see if the video edition is any better cut.

Before I start this review, I must tell you that I was a devoted fan of the books in high school and adored the first film. Also, I have three best friends with whom I have formed a similar sisterhood, and I am in my lower twenties, just like the girls in the movie. So, I confess that I was already a fan of the movie before I saw it.This film (and the last) is perfectly cast. From the four leads, to Greta, to Julia, to Leo, the actors that play these roles are just as I had pictured them in the novels.I love how this movie didn't shy away from the fact that Tibby, Lena, Bridget, and Carmen have grown up. Their problems are more adult and there isn't always a clear solution.My only complaint is with Bridget's story. I wish they had included Eric and her affair from the fourth book.In the beginning of the movie, the young women have grown apart, but by the end you will be confident that the sisterhood will last forever.

I was really looking forward to this movie and it didn't disappoint for the most part. Blake Lively seems overwhelmed by the depth of her storyline at times, and Alexis Bledel does not seem to be improving in her acting abilities since leaving Gilmore Girls. She does seem to play well off others, against Lauren Graham on Gilmore Girls, and in the scenes with Amber Tamblyn in this film. Amber Tamblyn stood out in the ensemble, conveying more emotion with her expressions than through her dialogue. America Ferrera brought some of the strong personality of Carmen back towards the end of the film, but I thought her storyline had some flaws. The setting of Greece is beautiful as in the previous film. I do think that this sequel was able to overcome some of the more generic moments of the first film.
