Editorial Review:
Coming of Age Adventure based on Ann Brashares' best-selling novel about a special 16th summer in the lives of four lifelong friends who are separated for the first time. On a shopping trip, the girls find a pair of thrift-shop jeans that fits each of them perfectly and they decide to use these "magic" pants as a way of keeping in touch over the months ahead, each girl wearing the jeans for a week to see what luck they bring her before sending them on to the next. Though miles apart, the four friends still experience life, love and loss together in a summer they'll never forget. Director: Ken Kwapis Actors: Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel, Bradley Whitford, Nancy Travis, Rachel Ticotin, Jenna Boyd, Michael Rady, Mike Vogel
Description of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants:
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 Reviews:
Fun Movie 
2009-12-09 - The movie holds up. This was the second time I have seen it and it was still fun to see!
Sadly I never did get this DVD 
2009-09-15 - I was credited quickly by the seller because the item was no longer in stock. Disappointed about not getting the film, but the seller was quick to take care of the issue.
For the Young at Heart
2009-08-09 - A story of four best friends who were born close together. Their support of each other is valued and they worry as they spend their first summer apart. As they discuss summer plans in clothing store - a pair of magical jeans appears. The four girls have four different builds and sizes, but each one of them fits beautifully into the pants. They feel the magic of the jeans and make rules to keep in touch via the jeans during the summer. They pass these pants to each other as well as write a short story on the adventure in the jeans while they are going through while apart.
The four girls: Bridget, Lena, Carmen, and Tibby hold on to the ten rules. Tibby is the only one to stay at home and work at a "Big Box" store. She becomes friends with a terminally ill girl about 12 years old. They film a movie together. Lena visits Greece where her grandparents live - and we see her first love. Bridget goes to soccer camp in Mexico and tries to seduce Eric, a handsome young soccer coach. This is against the rules and he keeps his distance. Carmen is shocked when she visits her WASP father in South Carolina. She is finally able to tell him how she feels he has treated her over the years and how hurt she is that her life did not seem important to him. The confrontation is dramatic and real.
Each teenage girl experiences a valuable life lesson and the pants are the thread that connects them while far away.

2009-03-30 - I never received this DVD from the company. I e-mailed on March 15th, 16th, and 18th and they responsed to the first e-mail on the 19th. They said it was being shipped and I still don't have the movie. Amazon returned me my money and I have purchased the movie else where. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
