Editor's Note
SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS: Ken Kwapis (HE SAID, SHE SAID) directs this coming-of-age film based on the novel of the same name by Ann Brashares. This tale of lifelong friendship uses a pair of magical jeans as a metaphor for the moral support and shared happiness which forms the glue between four teenage girls. SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS 2: In this follow-up to the first film, the four heroines find themselves drifting apart the summer after their first year of college. As each of them takes her turn wearing the magical pants of the first film, they realize that it isn't just distance that is separating them.

[1] I am unquestionably not a member of the target demographic for Ken Kwapis' (He Said, She Said) The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but that didn't prevent me from enjoying it. Although there's plenty of manipulation to be found in this motion picture, that doesn't obscure the inherent humanity of the characters and the sense of emotional honesty that underlies their circumstances. Plus, the film features four strong leading performances from up-and-coming actresses who, at least from the evidence presented here, deserve to become stars. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants contains its share of flaws, but they are not significant enough to mute my enthusiasm for it...Does The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants have cross-over potential? Or, to put it another way, will it appeal to those who are not fans of the books? That's debatable, not because the movie isn't strong enough to win new adherents, but because it's unclear how many who are not members of the book-loving crowd will give it a chance. Although targeted primarily for girls in the 12-to-19-year old range, there's enough truth about friendship, love, and life in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants to offer solid entertainment to almost anyone who gives it a chance. It's stronger than most teen girls' bonding movies (like Now and Then and Foxfire) and deserves to be seen on merit, not just because its lineage includes a best-selling book. - James Berardinelli
