Movie Reviews Reviews Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants
Author : Mr D Stevens
I wanted to watch this movie as I heard it was close to the book, albeit a few
changes, as most adapted books inevitably go through for the big screen.
I also wanted to watch it as it starred America Ferrara( from Ugly Betty and
Ugly she is not!). It is a story of friendship amongst four lovable girls as
they turn 17 on their summer holidays. Carmen (America Ferrara) the writer,
Tibby (Amber Tamblyn) the rebel, shy and beautiful Lena (Alexis Bledel), and
wild and unstoppable Bridget (Blake Lively).
It surrounds a pair of jeans that fits them all perfectly (hence the name), and
the 'sisterhood' decide to wear them each in turn during their summer holidays
and to make a mention if anything of any note happens whilst they have these
'magical' pants on.
As they have never been apart from each other all their lives, the pants
immediately represent their angst as they go on separate lives from each other
for the first time, a kind of focus point to remember each other by.
Bridget (Blake Lively) has the most energetic role as she is a soccer star,
going to a girls training camp in Mexico or as Libby put it (el campo del
futbol). However Bridget has lost her mother, and although her friends and extra
activities have helped her avoid it, she has never come to grips with such a
monumental loss, and the movie brings this bad episode as a stark reminder of
the void she is missing.
Lena I found was the most lovable of the lot, her shyness, and innocence (and
apparently she is really that shy in real life) makes her adorable, and those
lovely puppy dog eyes makes her even moreso, she is visiting her eccentric greek
grand parents Yaya and Papou played magnificently by Maria Constadadou, and
George Touliatos respectively. Bridget visits her seperated father in a
development, and comes to the shocking knowledge that he is about to be married
to another woman with kids of her own, the biggest change has to be for Tibby,
whilst "her friends jetoff on their little adventures" she is stuck at Walmall
(Walmart anyone?) trying to raise enough money for new video equipment, as she
is an aspiring documentary director, she meets 12 year old Bailey (played
superbly by Jenna Boyd) who really steals every scene she is in, it is impresive
such a presence from such a little girl.
This is a nice family movie, and you see their world through their eyes as they
are forced to confront some painful issues.
