Review: "Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants"

Based on the original novel by the same name, Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants (PG) tells the coming-of-age stories of four girls during one summer. It starts with the girls finding a pair of jeans that inexplicably fits all four of them perfectly. Going their separate ways for the summer, they take turns wearing the pants for a week, claiming that the pants will tie them together and magically make things happen. Lena (Alexis Bledel) looks for her culture in Greece and ends up finding herself, Tibby (Amber Tamblyn) stays home, makes a new friend, and discovers the meaning of life, Bridgette (Blake Lively) goes away to soccer camp and deals with her mother�s death in her own way, and Carmen (America Ferrera) visits her father and learns of his pending remarriage. This is the surprise feature of the summer. There is something for every age group and gender to enjoy. In a way, this flick reminded me of The Notebook because it is sappy, intelligent, a little too perfect, and simply special. This one is sure to tug on your emotions and leave you smiling. Rumor has it, two sequels are ready to be green-lighted. Don't miss this must-see film of the summer.
