From the desk of The Movie Snob:

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (B). Recalling that this movie was well-reviewed and seeing that it was playing at the dollar theater, I decided it was time to get in touch with the 16-year-old girl within. Actually, it’s a pretty good movie, if a bit manipulative at times. Four best friends are going their separate ways for the summer for the first time in their lives, and shortly before they split up they find a seemingly magical pair of jeans that fits each of them perfectly. So they agree to mail the pants to each other on a weekly basis. But the movie actually rotates among the four more a little more quickly than that. In turn we see shy, withdrawn Lena come out of her shell on a beautiful Greek island (and with a hunky Greek); brassy Bridget sets her sights on a college-aged coach at a soccer camp in Mexico; Carmen goes to South Carolina to visit her dad, who walked out when she was ten; and acerbic Tibby stays home to work in a retail store and work on her movie, a self-proclaimed "suckumentary." I think the movie kind of went off the rails at the end, but overall not a bad coming-of-age flick.
