This movie was engaging. I took my 8-year-old daughter, and she enjoyed the movie quite a bit. There are some tricky topics that you may need to discuss with your child before or after the movie. In particular, a character dies (although this is not shown on screen, and my daughter was confused about whether or not the character really died). Also, there is a situation where one of the girls sleeps with her boyfriend, but again, it's offscreen, and she just refers to it saying she wished she hadn't done that. It went right over my daughter's head (which was fine...). Overall, the movie speaks to the power of friendships, and shows girls going through a variety of challenging but realistic situations. It's a nice change from the land of the beautiful -- although all of these girls are very appealing. I recommend the movie.Read full review
This is a great movie that tells about friendship, love and sisterhood (friendship style). Four best friends find a pair of pants that mystereously fit all of them. Each girl has a diffent build and figure. They take this as a sign that the pants are magical. The events that happen with the girls over their first summer apart, are held together by sending the pants to each friend after a week. Girls of all ages will love it. I have decided to purchase this movie after watching it on HBO. As a mother of a 5 year old...I thought when she got older she would like it too. I have since lent it out to all my 30 something friends who inturn loved it just as much as I do.
I came into this movie expecting a cute girly movie about four teenage friends and their "high school" type problems. But I was pleasantly surprised. Most "teen" movies these days feature overly dramatic popularity contests and girls constantly at each other's throats over guys. But The Sisterhood succeeded is portraying a much more positive and valuable side to the friendships of young girls. The four actresses have great chemistry so their on-screen interaction was fun to watch. I was very impressed with the moral value in this movie. Though the girls make mistakes, they see the consequences of their actions and gain important life lessons. The special features on this DVD are great. There is a behind the scenes feature called “Fun on the Set” with lots of interviews and footage of the cast. There is also an intriguing interview with Ann Brashares, the author of the book the movie was based on. Other special features include deleted scenes, a movie commentary and a spoof documentary that Amber Tamblyn’s character was filming during the movie. I went to see this movie with my mom and my boyfriend. My boyfriend wasn’t looking forward to it. But as it turned out, all three of us enjoyed it! It really does appeal to a wide age range. Although, parents of little girls need to be aware that, while the moral lessons in the end are great, a couple of the experiences the girls go through are a bit mature. The movie is pretty clean and the ending redemptive. Overall it would be a great movie for a family night. By parents of kids still in grade school may want to see it first and then decide.Read full review
With a name like "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" I thought this movie was sure to be a flop. But when my mother asked me to watch it with her on Mother's Day I wasn't about to tell her no! By the end of the movie, however, we were both in tears. It's a sweet, heartwrenching, and surprisingly true-to-life tail of four teens who are bonded together in more ways than one. They represent most of the spectrum of teenage angst. Whether it's the outgoing one who's experienced some trauma, the sheltered and shy one, the one with the broken family, or our friendly neighborhood goth, it touches on issues relevant to ALL teens in today's society. It encompasses deep themes on teen minds (such as sex) without necessarily going into the gory details or even mentioning it explicitly. But we all know what they meant and it teaches important lessons (for example, the message about sex was summed up as something along the lines of "I thought it would be so fulfilling, but it only made me feel more empty than ever"). I think it sends such a positive message about so many things, while still managing to cater to the more worldly adult audience. I don't like many American films (I'm an Almodovar fan myself) but this one is definitely in my collection!Read full review
I enjoyed watching the magic of the pants at work. By going back and forth between the four best friends the story moved along beautifully. I particularly liked the fact that there was not a mean spirited girl in the whole movie. So often these days there has to be someone doing something to someone else in order to develope the plot. None of that here. Challenges, sucesses, first love, tears and laughter and in the end more friendship. My ten year old granddaughter loved it and talked about the girls like they were old friends after seeing it once. I dare you not to shed a tear or two and certainly smile a lot. After checking this out of my local library I just had to have it because I know it will be a favorite for a long time to come. Can not wait for Movie #2.
