Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (movie)

Kwaspic, Ken (Director), et al. (2005). Sisterhood of the travelling pants [DVD] . [s. l.] : Warner Brothers Pictures.

Rating: PG

"Laugh. Cry. Share the pants."

Summary:
Four friends are parting ways for the summer. Lena is heading to Greece, Carmen to North Carolina, Bailey to Mexico, and Tibby is left at home working at Wallmans. Before they separate, they find a pair of jeans that fits all them perfectly. The friends call the pants magical, and promise to send the jeans to each other throughout the summer so that they can all partake in the joy of the pants. Each girl goes through new experiences, and in the process learns something about herself.

Comments:
This movie was great. Each of the storylines are interesting, though I really enjoyed Lena's point of view. Exotic locations contrasted nicely with Tibby being stuck back home. There was a definite "girl power" theme running through the movie, which was enjoyable. The girls didn't get too caught up in romantic relationships; the main focus of their summers was learning about themselves. They had a very strong bond, which made me wish I had been one of their friends! The acting was also excellent. I would recommend this movie to any girl of any age.

Rating: 5/5
