The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants



Okay, so I'm a sap. But I liked this movie. Every character was so unique, yet, they all shared similar emotions and experiences.

Sure, it's a chick flick, but it's not bad at all! Amber Tamblyn's character was very interesting. Her character meets a girl who's played by Jenna Boyd, who has a secret. You don't hear about it until later, but it's so sad!!

Alexis Bledel battles an ancient family feud that's gone on for too long, that has split two entire families from one another. America Ferrera tries to understand how her father could remarry and where she fits in with his life, above feeling abandoned and betrayed. And Blake Lively, being carefree and strong, finds out that the loss of her mum has affected her much deeper than she had anticipated.

The four girls share something special, and as they find a pair of jeans that miraculously fit all four of them, they decide to share the jeans over the summer, mailing it from one another each week until the summer is over. They believe the pair of jeans is magical. You'll have to watch and find out what that means.

Only thing I didn't really like about this movie... was the fact that Bradley Whitford is in it. The moment you're recognised as a loser in films, it leaves a lasting impression! And man, I so did not recognise Nancy Travis at first. But she's pretty cool. So I say, give it a go, prepare to be slightly teary eyed, but it's a nice movie. Ends on a high.
