Well, Chris. Now we know you're not secure enough in your manhood to actually sit down and enjoy this movie. My review: Went to see this obvious chick flick with some chums last night. During the course of the movie, realized that it was actually a pretty decent picture! The basic premise is that a group of lifelong friends are about to go their different ways for one summer. They find a "magic" pair of jeans that as by miracle, fit them all, and form a "sisterhood" in which they will send the jpants back and forth to one another all summer. It's a lame concept, I agree, but nonetheless well carried out. Pretty emotional movie if you're the emotional type, I suppose, as there was scattered sniffling during some scenes in the theatre we were at. Not Kleenex-worthy anyway, but very sad in parts. Funny in parts as well, but lets face it: It's a complete chick flick and not even a great date movie. Alas.… Expand

This is a great movie for a teenaged girl to go and see. There are life lessons in it about the value of friendship. It wasn't an intellectually challenging movie, however. Sure, it made me cry but the tears were cheap. I thought the movie was syrupy and predictable. It didn't tell me anything about the value of female frienships that I didn't already know.

I liked the movie alot but liked the books better. I think the movie should have stayed true to the original story to the details. But I though it did a good job of showing the main point of the story.

Loved the book, really loved the movie. From the commercials and trailers, I was expecting it not to be very good, but I really did love it. Made me laugh, cry, and renew my values of friendship. Wonderfully portrayed the book. The only disappointing change for me was how they changed Lena's grandparents to hate Kostos.

Really good, I loved this movie!

In a sentence, drop what you are doing and go see this thoroughily enjoyable movie. Thank you Hollywood. At last.

Delightfully wonderful cinematic experience that all can enjoy. You do not have to be a teenage girl to appreciate that special time in your life when the world was new and inviting. This story about 4 best friends all age 16 and from different homes and ethnic backgrounds shows how you can find strength and courage by drawing upon your friends. The cinematography especially in Greece is breathtaking. There is no one actor that shines which is a compliment to the entire ensemble cast. Don't miss it.… Expand

Just watching the commercial alone makes me question my own sexuality. The fact another man actually wrote "Smart, funny, moving and beautifully shot." makes me question the legitimacy of user ratings... gee i wonder if people get paid to post these sort of comments.

You have issues. Watch the film and stop criticising the user opinions.

A sort of chick flick with training wheels, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants has been compared to the all-star extravaganza Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, but it has one enormous distinction: moviegoers of all ages and both genders should get some entertainment value and at least a small kick out of these Pants, which unlike Ya-Ya, won't cause all males and many females in the audience to pray for sweet, sweet Death to cast his gentle, merciful net over them before the show's over. 2005 seems to be the year that I'm discovering all sorts of cultural pockets that I never knew existed in 2004: I'd never heard of Tyler Perry but ended up enjoying Diary of a Mad Black Woman, and had no knowledge of Ann Brashares' hugely popular, tween-centered bestseller (or its two sequels) but still appreciated what the very engaging cast did with it. The "traveling pants" are a pair of jeans that fit all four of the young protagonists who, after dedicating them to one another in a mystical ceremony, embark on their own individual educational, life-changing and sometimes traumatic adventures. To rephrase Meatloaf, as far as the subplots go, three out of four ain't bad. The accounts of rebellious filmmaker/ big box store drone Tibby's discovery of friendship from an unlikely source, of insecure, slightly bitter Carmen's adjustment to her beloved dad's remarriage and of athletic, emotionally needy Bridget's tendency to look for love in one of the wrong places as a means of dealing with a parent's suicide all make their points without being too Afterschool Special preachy about it. Not only are Amber Tamblyn, Jenna Boyd, America Ferrera and newcomer Blake Lively (who has an endearingly self-deprecating manner and goofy smile) good company, but director Ken Kwapis (of the alternately funny and irritating TV sitcom Malcolm in the Middle) actually proves that maybe a near-middle-aged male CAN be the perfect choice for material like this! He's sympathetic to the characters but not pushy; at times he's as interested in the sunny scenery of Greece, California and Bethesda MD as he is in the dramas playing in front of it. His light, airy touch makes the climax of one of the stories triply devastating when it hits (and if you saw this, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about); if you don't start hunting down the napkins that came with your popcorn at this particular point, then you're probably the type who laughed out loud when Old Yeller--well, you get my drift. Story #4, involving shy, artistic Lena (Alexis Bledel) in a sort of Hellenic Hatfield-McCoy feud, is little more than a placeholder between the more compelling stuff, but at least it looks good. Interestingly, our four heroines find their magical jeans in a thrift store, which brings up the question of who (or what group of people) owned them last, and makes The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants one of the very few movies of any genre to really justify a prequel!… Expand

This movie was definatly good...but it was nothing like the books...and plus the books are so much better!...if you hadnt noticed...which you probaly have but whatev.

It was pretty good, suprisingly. I expected it to be another "oooh I'm a teenage girl, la de da de da" It was in a way... In a good way though, just like the book (The original book is always best though).

If you're conscious of Alexis Bledel's background, "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" is a lot more edgy than it appears. Bledel, who looks absolutely stunning (and inconspicuous) as a vacationing Greek-American finding her roots, would have an easier time assimilating with Carmen's new family. Actually, Carmen's story is provocative as is, for instance: her future stepmother employs a Hispanic maid, and even though the film has a mainstream ethos, the inherent black comedy of this situation isn't fully suppressed when Carmen (America Ferrera) meets her. It's a real jolt to realize that her father signed off on this. The ensuing reconciliation between father and daughter at the former's wedding feels contrived, because America Ferrera's ferocious heart-to-heart with her old man (Bradley Whitford) is still ringing in our ears. Hands down, the most winning story belongs to Tibby (Amber Tamblyn). The happenstance quality of Tibby's friendship with Bailey (Jenna Boyd) doesn't have that chick-flick ickiness that brackets the watchable middle-portion of the film(when the girls are apart and not trying on pants). Boyd, who plays her film assistant like she's a graduate of the Evan Rachel Wood School for Actors, gives the unsung performance of the year.… Expand

This movie was so insperational to me!! i loved IT!!

I have laught, cried of sadness joy, falled in love. It is so beautiful movie I'm waiting the following..2,3...The actresses are very good an dpersonnaly I liked alexis bedel and Amber Tamblyn.

It was really good and i recomend both the movie and the book to anyone who wants take the offer. Alexis Bedel was great in the movie but its really more of a chick flick.

i loved the books, but i was a little skeptical about wastching the movie the first time because the movie is generally never as good as the book, but i must say they did a pretty good job of following the book! its a bit of a tearjerker but id still recomend it to anyone and everyone!

I did not come into this movie expecting anything and I was pleasantly surprised. The girls had a great chemistry and the movie did a great job of conveying that throughout.

The movie was the best movie I have seen all year. And trust me I have seen a ton of movies this year.

This movie is a true disapointment. I read all of the books, and the girls cast out to play Carmen, Tibby, Bridget, and Lena are not the people I would have chosen. These girls were too fake, and too different from the picture the real Sisterhood is.

I was dragged to this movie, but I must say that for the type of movie that it is I could not ask for better. First off, America Ferrera is perfect! a good actress given great scenes. Next would be Alexis Bledel. her character's storyline was decent enough and it was mostly in Greece which was wonderfuly shot. I don't tear up at movies, I'm a guy after all but this one had me fighting back the tears. No lie.… Expand

The movie really sucked conpared to the book. My advise save some $$$ and go get the book from the library!

The first must see movie of the summer! Smart, funny, moving and beautifully shot.

this movie wasnt the best ever. i liked the book better, but it was still a wonderful movie.
