Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005): Dir: Ken Kwapis / Cast: Alexis Bledel, Blake Lively, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Bradley Whitford: Extraordinary teen drama about the bonds of friendship. Four girls are about to go separate ways this summer yet during a shopping spree they discover that a single pair of pants fits them all so they decide to mail them to each other throughout the summer. Alexis Bledel visits grandparents in Greece and is romanced by a fisherman whose family name is cursed by her family. Amber Tamblyn remains home working at the supermarket where she hopes to establish herself as a documentary filmmaker. America Ferrera visits the father she only sees twice a year only to learn that he is engaged and hasn't time for her. Blake Lively goes to soccer camp and pursues the male coach. Bradley Whitford plays the absent father of one of the girls and he is getting married. His daughter becomes distant over the neglect. Directed by Ken Kwapis with great location shots in variety form depending upon where each girl has departed too. This is one of his very best films and an improvement over the likes of Dunston Checks In and The Beautician and the Beast. Easily one of the best teen oriented films of the year and a must-see for the intended audience. The pants represent the friendships that go through much and still survive the summer. Score: 10 / 10

The girls were about to get separated during their summer holiday. So they went out shopping for the last time before they all went to their summer holidays, and by chance, they found a pair of jeans that fits them all. And that has never happens before, especially they all have different thigh size.They believe that they found the jeans not by chance, but by a stroke of luck b the Almighty, and they decided that the pants must be shared between them. They made rules (ten rules to be exact), and they were obliged to follow it.So the pant got a different owner every week, and the girl who got the pant must write what they have been through in diaries so that the other know and can share about it too.So all around the world the pant went. From Greece to the boot camp and back again to Greece. And it's surprising how they have so much interesting things that went through, some may be happy moments, whilst some may be unpleasant ones.What I like about his film is that it is original, creative, funny, witty, and seems real. The characters were developed with such ingenuity that viewers feel close to them. The experience may be different, but the essence is the same. We have all felt happy, sad, anxious, crestfallen, deeply in love and all that. It's what the viewers can experienced from this film and these mixtures of feelings and emotions made this film a very good watch.In all, this film is recommended to everyone, as it contains no nudity, no profanity, and the message is good, to cherish the people close to us and to care for our friends.

It must be really hard to make a chick-flick. Take a couple of young female leads, some strong and some insecure characters, throw in a couple of love stories, preferably one about a forbidden and/or impossible love, some personal problems and death and you have basically all the ingredients you need. But then again, all genres are of course more or less like this. Throw in a couple of scares in a horror movie, some explosions in an action flick, etcetera. You just either dig a genre or you just don't. Chick-flicks are obviously just not my thing.Of course chick-flicks are more or less all the same, because they feature all of the usual ingredients, which I just mentioned. The movie also knows this, so it tries to throw in an original concept about a pair of pants that travels between 4 different befriended owners, who are spending their summer holiday for the first time away from each other. To me this whole pants thing just felt like an excuse to connect all of the 4 different stories within the movie, which are focusing on the 4 main characters.Basically when you put 4 episodes of a random similar American TV-series in a row, you'll have a movie just like this. The story features all of the- and as much drama as you could expect.Still the movie is not an horrible one and yet is also knows to become an original one with its approach and story, which in my opinion is mostly due to the leading actresses of the movie. They give the movie some life and emotion. It's also no coincidence that these actresses are leading ones in some successful TV-series, of which some got launched after this movie, while others already had a successful television career prior to this movie. They are also acting well with each other in this movie, which makes them look convincing as a group who has been friends since childhood. I especially liked Alexis Bledel very natural seeming acting style for this movie, even though normally I'm not a too big fan of her acting skills in many other things. Basically credit needs to go to all of the leading actresses but lets also not forget the young Jenna Boyd, who is a child-star that isn't annoying for a change and can also really act, as she proofs in this movie, with a very difficult and hard to play role at such a young age (She was only around 12 at the time of this movie.).Thing with chick-flicks or most romantic movies for that matter, is that they pretend to be just like life and realistic with its story and approach but of course life as portrayed in these sort of movies just isn't true. You could say that the movie are 'falsy-realistic'. But apparently this is just a thing to seems to attract (teenage)woman, making these sort of movies and this movie in particular also a perfectly watchable one for them.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

I feel like this kind of movie is what is wrong with our country, and the world in general. It reinforces the idea that everything will work out for every teenage girl, if only they can find a pair of jeans that makes their ass look good. I almost can't believe the materialistic nature and despicable social values portrayed in this movie. The producers, director, and entire cast should be publicly lynched and have their corpses used to fill in speed bumps. Furthermore, I am disgusted at the overwhelming popularity this movie has seen at the box office and since. I suppose over all, this is about the worst movie I can ever imagine being made, the biggest problem is that you can tell that people who like it and the people who made it, honestly believe this kind of garbage. This kind of movie is what drives young girls to become anorexic and cut themselves every time a new "Teen People" comes out. Shame.
