The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)

To me, this movie is perfection.

the audience applauded

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

After being together since they were kids, four teenage girls spend their first summer apart: Bridget (Blake Lively) goes off to summer soccer camp, Carmen (America Ferrera) goes to stay with her Dad and meets his new family, busy arranging his new marriage, Lena (alexis Bledel) goes to Santorini to stay with her grandparents and meets Costas without realising there is a Montague/Capulet relationship between their families, and misanthropic Tibby (Amber Tamblyn) stays at home working in the local store where she meets a younger girl who has a profound affect on her. The girls determine that a pair of jeans which mysteriously fits them all is a kind of magical link, and they mail them back and forth between each other.The jeans are no more than a fairly cheesy and obvious device, and are fairly irrelevant to the four threads, during which each of the young women discovers something about herself and moves forward.The four girls are all very good (Blake Lively is spectacularly beautiful), the scenery in the Greek and soccer camp sequences is gorgeous, and Nancy Travis (as Carmen's new stepmother-to-be) creates someone you can easily dislike and then turns you round with a single look.Although this is nominally a chickflick, there is plenty here to enjoy if you are (for instance) a Dad in his 60s. Your eyes may need tissues.

Great movie. Loved how they filmed in Greece and Mexico. Loved the actresses that were selected. Thought the conflicts were realistic. Great acting. Shows the true meaning of what best friends are. Recommend this for women of all ages. Includes comedy, drama and romance all together which is a plus. Not the best movie but very good. Wish all friendships could be like their's. :) Book was a bit better. Can't wait for the second movie to come out. Great song, "Be,Be Your Love" by Rachel Yamagata. Best parts: When Tibby and Bailey are laying in the grass talking. When Lena says goodbye to Kostas in Greece before he boards the ship. Scenes of Bridget, Eric and the soccer team on the beach.

I loved this film. The performances were wonderfully done, the scenery and settings were splendid, the script was great (I know it's based on a book and I know it may differ in some ways, but... ). Truly a well-told coming-of-age story without too much of anything that would be disturbing for parents with kids, yet with enough poignancy, romance, and believability to be a hit with the whole family. I'm sure the target audience is teenage girls, but it manages to be much more than that.One of the best I've seen in a while... too bad I missed it when it was in the cinema, but I'm glad it found its way home on DVD.

I thought this movie was okay and just okay. It wasn't bad, that's not what I'm saying, I'm just saying it wasn't great.I know a lot of people who thought it was great so maybe my opinion is a bit harsh but I would only give this movie a five out of ten score here on IMDb. I thought the best thing about the movie was America Ferrera's (spelling?) performance, I thought she did a good job in her part and I think the people bashing her on the message boards for "how could she fit in those jeans?" are just mean, she's not even that fat to begin with! She was perfect for the part and played it well. The rest of the cast was very good, I just didn't like the story all that much.I hear the book is better so I would give it a read but I would not recommend this movie unless you can borrow it or catch it for free on television sometime.
