Movie Review by AJ 
June 25th, 2006

Based on Ann Brashares' popular teen chick lit book, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants comes as a slap in the face to all of the other soggy girly-girl movies Hollywood has been pumping out lately. This is a movie where not everything goes right, happy conclusions are not reached, bad decisions are made, and the general hum-drumminess of life is accepted. The quartet of best friends linked over a summer during which they all go their separate ways only by a pair of jeans they pass around together (yeah, it's realy not as integral to the story as it seems) are all played by very talented young actresses: Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel, Amber Tamblyn, and especially America Ferrera (who also starred in 2002's excellent coming-of-age drama Real Women Have Curves). The script, written by Delia Ephron (sister of Nora) and Elizabeth Chandler, is for the most part above and beyond the requirements of the genre, and if there's one major fault, it's that the girls are more interesting separated than together, where things get perhaps just a touch too girly for my liking. Director Ken Kwapis also manages to wrangle a lively, funny, and believable performance from a conflicted Bradley Whitford...which, despite his rather smallish appearance onscreen, is enough to see the thing in the first place.
