User Review
The girls still have the charm
Rating: 7/10
Once again, another rating that baffles me here on IMDb, now granted, I
haven't read the novels that The Sisterhood is based upon, but I really
did enjoy the first movie, more than I thought I would. So I was
looking forward to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, curious
what the girls were up too in the story. The reason I like these movies
so much is because they're very real; except for the traveling all
around the world despite as if money was no issue, these being college
girls mind you. But the story provides teenage girls who look like your
average teenagers, their stories are very relatable if you are a girl,
and we have comedy, romance, and drama, a typical chick flick, but
thankfully these movies are enjoyable one's that don't push it. I felt
like these girls are just so much fun and like I could know them in
real life.
Tibby has moved to New York, studying film and works at a movie store,
but she has a bad pregnancy scare when her boyfriend's condom breaks.
Thankfully it's a false alarm, but she is scared of her heart being
broken once again. Lena goes to Greece for her Grandfather's funeral,
she sees Kostos, but he is now married and is having a baby, so she
takes an art class at home and starts dating the model that she is
currently drawing. Carmen goes to Vermont to be in a drama club,
expecting to work behind the scene, her leading man crush encourages
her to audition and she gets a lead role causing some jealousy around
the more experienced actors. Bridget goes to Turkey on an
archaeological dig and finds out more about herself and goes home, but
first she has to see the grandma who she thought didn't love her, it
turns out she learns more about herself and her mother. But these girls
have let their friendship go and must find a way to make the magic of
the pants work once again.
I would honestly recommend The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, I
really did enjoy the story and acting, along with the characters. I
think The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 is a notch below the
first film, but it still works. There are minor flaws here and there,
but it's very easy to get past, I don't understand the rating of 6.0
here on IMDb, this is an honest and genuine film that I think a lot of
people could enjoy. I think my favorite story this time was with Carmen
once again, she's the character I can relate to most and she's very
much the under dog of the story. But all the girls are a pleasure to
watch on screen, they make you laugh and just have a great time with
their journeys. This is a wonderful movie and I can't wait to see it
again.
