Description of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Widescreen Edition):
Who would expect a gimmick like a pair of magical pants to be the hook for such a smart, charming, and emotionally rich teen movie? Four close friends discover a pair of pants that fit them all perfectly, even though they're physically very different. Since all four are going in different directions for the summer, they pledge to each wear the pants for a week and then mail them to the next girl. In Greece, Lena (Alexis Bledel, Gilmore Girls) lands in the middle of a Romeo & Juliet family-feud romance; Carmen (America Ferrera, Real Women Have Curves) discovers that her estranged father is about to marry a blonde Southern belle; Bridget (newcomer Blake Lively) flirts with love at a Mexican soccer camp; and Tibby (Amber Tamblyn, Joan of Arcadia) stays home and gets a boring retail job to pay for her documentary film--but finds herself with an unwanted young assistant (Jenna Boyd, The Missing). These four stories manage to cover an amazing amount of ground (touching on race, body issues, divorce, mortality, and more) without resorting to stereotypes or easy resolutions. The engaging characters are brought to vivid life by these four talented actresses, who grab this excellent script and run with it. One of the best movies about teenage life in a long, long time. --Bret Fetzer
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
Cute, BUT.... 
2008-08-01 - NOT ONE of these cute chicks gets naked! What's the point? Magic pants? UGH
Not as good as the books...but definitely a good movie. 
2008-08-01 - The first time I saw the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants I was pretty disappointed, but it somehow has grown on me and turned into one of my favorites. There are some differences between the books and movie, but that is just something to be expected, which is something I had to figure out. When just analyzing the movie, rather than comparing it to the amazing books, the movie proves itself to be pretty amazing as well. I'll be seeing the second one August 6th!
Traveling Pants DVD 
2008-06-01 - I enjoyed this DVD, but not as much as the book. I didn't like the changes they made from the book to the movie. But it was still fun to watch; I would definitely recommend reading the book first.
great chick flick
2008-03-05 - The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Full Screen Edition)
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie even my husband liked it.
I was familiar with the books but had never seen the movie. You will probably need 2 tissues!!!
well-constructed story
2008-02-25 - To start off with, I am a middle-aged male. I want to praise the writers for the skill in coordinating four different stories. All sorts of the things could have gone wrong -- the audience could have gotten confused, or the stories could get repetitive, or some stories could have overwhelmed others. But they did it so well that it's unobtrusive. Also, having four good actresses with distinct personalties helped.
My main complaint is the Bridget subplot. Probably because of the PG rating, the writers are reluctant to come out and say that she threw away her virginity on a guy that wasn't worth it; as a result her motives and feelings are pretty much a blur. You'd think Tibby was the one who suffered the most, experiencing the death of a loved one, yet Bridget monopolizes the group's sympathy without saying why.
