I've read all three sisterhood books and loved each one. I went to see the movie with my friends tonight (girls of course) and came away having laughed, cried, and yes...shared the pants. The writing of Ann Brashares is very realistic, and the movie version is decent enough, though it does twist up several plot lines. There is a mixture of serious moments and corny ones, with boring but hilarious-to-laugh-at dialogue to match---quite a few funny disappointing lines from Kostos. Read the books first if you can, they are absolutely amazing. My friends and I want a sisterhood too, only we would have to settle for sweat pants. Truly versatile, but probably disgusting to wear without washing...

I really enjoyed watching the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Before i knew the novel was going to be made into the movie I had already read it and the novel was one of my favorites. This story was very realistic and interesting because it was about girls around my age having life-changing things happen to them. As I sat watching the movie I found myself relating to many of the the things said. The tag line for this movie could be no better in describing my feelings....I laughed, cried, and shared the story of the pants with many. The crew of actresses consisted of 2 of my favorites (Alexis Beidel and Amber Tamblyn), which made the story all the more exciting and they couldn't have picked better actresses for the others. I give this movie a 2 thumbs up!

The movie was good although I wish they didn't change Lena plot so much. Some people are complaining that the guys aren't good looking but once you see the movie you will disagree!!! I really think that they screenwriters should kept a bit more things that had to do with Lena. Her and Kostos' families are fighting so they aren't supposed to be with each other. That was definitely not in the book. They also forgot about Tibby's hamster which to me sort of defined her. Other than that the movie was good and they kept with the book. I read the book a while ago but I do believe they changed Bridget's story the smallest bit. They actresses played very well. Each actress did put parts of herself in but it worked very well.

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 am a very picky person when it comes to movies. There's always something that I don't like about a movie I see, and this is the one movie that I can't complain anything about. I couldn't help myself but half way threw the movie tell my girlfriend that I'm buying this movie! It was so excellent. It's a story that I can relate to. Four girls that are best friends, and are there for them no matter what, threw anything they are there for them. I love it, I totally recommend this movie for everyone of all ages, including GUYS. If my boyfriend admitted that he liked it, anyone will. Awesome movie, the best one I have literally ever seen.

Bledel did a good job but Tamblyn's acting left much to be desired. Tamblyn's arrogant and conceit detracts from any role she is in. Casting a less arrogant actress in the role of Tobby would have made this movie far better. Thankfully Bledel added some color to the bleakness displayed by Tamblyn. This movie is based on an excellent and heartwarming book but I found myself extremely disappointed by Tamblyn's performance. She's a young women who has let her fame go to her head. I certainly hope that if more movies are based on the books. better casting choices will be made.

Four high school girls share a bond of friendship so profound that it pains them to spend time apart, but this summer they have places to go. They recount their experiences in handwritten letters and take turns wearing a specific pair of jeans that remind them of each other. The film consist of the differing stories of the four girls. Each story takes a turn when it is time to wear the magic jeans. The stories are brief but delightful, dealing with themes of family (and broken families), illness and teenage crushes. The main actors are all very successful (and are known from TV dramas such as Gilmore Girls, Gossip Girl and Joan of Arcadia). Warning -- while light-hearted, the film is also very touching at times and touches on deeper themes such as death of loved ones and sexuality.

This wasnt quite my speed. The first half was nearly unbearable because half of it was boy chasing. I can appreciate the good acting but it just was too irritating to get through.
