The movie is wonderful. It was good to see some girl power back in action. The girls have grown up and their problems and issues are different this time. The movie is sweet, enjoyable movie with good humor and drama.
It’s a story about life. I liked the movie because the instances that have been shown in the movie are real. Anyone can face such kind of problems and the movie actually tells you how to face and tackle such situations in life. The movie will make you laugh, cry and gives the message of appreciating life.
The movie is amazing, it portrays all the emotions. All the characters are true to life and the movie makes you feel that all the characters are very close to reality, discussing real life issues. I just love the movie and will suggest everyone to watch it.
The four girls are equals in this movie. Not only are they equal in terms of their importance to each other, but also in time in front of the camera. This is not a star vehicle for one of these young actresses. Their relationship is the star of this movie.
The sisterhood consists of four teenage girls. And each of the girls are special. They are each intelligent and introspective. And they take the important things in their lives in a mature, serious way. These important things include their personal lives, their personal development, their families, and the history of their families.

I saw this film in Indianapolis in early May before the official theatrical release. I am one of the judges for the Heartland Film Festival that screens films for their Truly Moving Picture Award. A Truly Moving Picture “…explores the human journey by artistically expressing hope and respect for the positive values of life.” Heartland gave that award to this film.

You know how sometimes when you go to the movies and you wonder if the movie you are seeing will be worth your money? Well, this movie was definitely worth my money and maybe even more so. “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” was a great movie, quite possibly one of the best that will come out this year because of–among other things–the friendship it upholds, and I highly recommend it.
I think if you’re a 12-15 year old girl, this movie is great for you (or if you like teen chick flicks). It covers the crucial topics addressed in the book, but lacks the depth Brashares originally had. I suggest seeing it just to see it, but don’t expect too much.
I enjoyed this film better than the 1995 “Now and Then,” a movie also about four girlfriends, with two sets of known actresses: Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, Gaby Hoffmann and Ashleigh Aston Moore as the young Rosie O’Donnell, Melanie Griffith, Demi Moore and Rita Wilson. “Traveling Pants,” even though with budding young actresses, provided more in-depth emotional journeys, life wisdom, and picturesque romantic Greece for added value. This may be more of a ‘girly’ film, but certainly a family entertainment (likened to Disney quality productions like “The Parent Trap”).
I saw this movie at a screening way back in November, in Phoenix, with my mother. I had gotten her to read the book before we saw it, and we both enjoyed it, so when we heard about the screening, we jumped at the chance to go.
