Advantages: everything Disadvantages: nothing for me
...is about the DVD "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants". The movie is based on the book by Ann Brashares. Coincidentally, I found the trailer of this movie on the internet and I looked like a great movie. I bought the book then, because the movie didn´t come within the next two months. I loved the book and couldn´t wait to see it on screen, but when it finally started I found out that it wouldn´t be shown in the theatres near me. In autumn the ... ...1) Content of the movie

Pants Review ofSisterhood Of The Travelling Pants DVDby

Advantages: The trite script, direction and irritating performances Disadvantages: It'll keep some twelve year-olds off the street
...were wearing them.
"The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants" is a film that certainly knows its tweenage audience and panders to it at every available attempt. Director Ken Kwapis has made his living directing TV shows and the tics and tricks he learnt there are in stark evidence here. The film is episodic, hackneyed and unbearably bland. It would have worked better as a half-hourly series in which each episode focussed on one character instead of ... ...Yet a Woman"?!?
"The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants" is a stupendously underwhelming bundle of clichés that will no doubt go down a storm with its intended audience; the vapid twelve year-olds that couldn't reel off their fake dates of birth to get into a fifteen certificate film. It wants to be a feel-good film that leaves you with a spring in your step and renewed faith in humanity. But it is more likely to stick in your craw, with rising ...

Advantages: Great characters, a nice storyline, good looking guys Disadvantages: None
...is the beginning of the sisterhood of the traveling pants.
Each of the girls takes their week to wear the pants and as they experience different things in their lives, learn more about themselves and other people around them they pass the jeans on from to the other, including in the package notes upon how they got on with the jeans and what they experienced while in them. The girls certainly grow up a lot over the summer, learning about love, life ... ...the catalyst in the adventures the girls live that summer or are they just along for the ride?!
I loved this quote from the end of the movie, I think it definitely sums up the story, without giving away the plot….
Carmen: [voiceover] It would be easy to say that the pants changed everything that summer. But looking back now I feel like our lives changed because they had to, and that the real magic of the pants was in bearing witness to all of this ...

Advantages: Great girly film Disadvantages: Not for them in your life
Well what can I say about this file, it had e laughing quite a bit through the film.
Story Line:
The film is based on the Ann Brashares bestselling novel. It is about four best friends who are going to be separated for the first time for the summer holidays. Before they go their separate lives they go on a shopping trip where they come across a pair of thrift-shop jeans that fits each one of them perfectly and decide to use the jeans to help them ... ...They each wear the jeans for a week to see how much luck they get before sending them on to the next friend. The each experience life, love and loss together as friends even though they are miles apart from each other.
I won't tell you to much more as it will spoil the story!!
It is definitely not a film for the men, it is a female film, easy to watch and romantic and very girly at times.
Stars
Amber Tamblyn
America Ferrera (star of ugly Betty ...

Advantages: Great acting, Great story, Overall Great. Disadvantages: Doesn't stick to original story from book.
The Sisterhood of the travelling pants is one of the best Teen girl films ever. It tells the story of four best friends who have known eachother from birth as there mothers attended the same aerobics classes when pregnant. They always spend their summers together and the film tells the story of their first summer apart.
The Film starts by showing how close the girls are and shows how theyve decided to spend their summers. Bridget (Blake Lively) ... ...Having read all four sisterhood books i know the Fourthcoming movie "Sisterhood of the Travelling pants 2"-to be released later this year- will be just as good as this one. The only disadvantage i can find of this movie is that the story differs slightly from the one in the book and the one in the book is slightly better. Other than this i cant think of anything else to fault this movie. I highly recommend!! ...

Review: This is one of the sweetest, most touching and intelligent coming-of-age movies in years (NBC TV, )
The cast shines (Rolling Stone, )
A rarity: truthful, intelligent, and perceptively performed (Today, )
