The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)

not horrible nor great

Best movie ever!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This Sisterhood just attempts too many plots and while it's inter-woven, it becomes downright obnoxious to view.What's with this pants to begin with? Many people out-grow theirs and this is precisely what occurs in this film. One girl loses her mom to suicide, another goes off on an archaeological expedition to basically nowhere, a third finds romance, loses the guy who is lied to, only to recapture him later and the Ugly Betty of television gets acting part by accident in a summer drama session and makes the best of it.The scenes depicting Greece are nice but this is not exactly Mamma Mia!That film had zest and a breath of fresh air with one specific story affecting the lives of others. 'Sisterhood" is just trying to tell too much.

Carmen Lowell (America Ferrera) is working on the backstage of a play in Yale. When the lead actress and friend Julia (Rachel Nichols) invites her to travel to Vermont with her to work in a play with professional cast, she decides to stay with her friends and her pregnant mother. However she finds that Lena Kaligaris (Alexis Bledel) will travel to a course of drawing. Bridget Vreeland (Blake Lively) is in existential crisis missing her mother and decides to travel to an archaeological dig in Turkey. Tibby Tomko-Rollins (Amber Tamblyn) is working in a rental and still editing her documentary. Therefore, Carmen accepts the invitation and travels to Vermont. She has a crush on the lead actor Ian (Tom Wisdom), who convinces her to participate in an audition, and is invited by the director Bill Kerr (Kyle MacLachlan) to perform the lead female role. Later she finds the truth about the friendship of Julia. The broken-hearted Lena finds that Kostas (Michael Rady) has married and she dates the model of her class. Bridget finds letters addressed to her from her grandmother that her father has hidden and she decides to visit her grandma, disclosing a secret about her mother. Tibby makes love with her boy-friend Brian McBrian (Leonardo Nam) but they have problems with the condom and she gets scared of a possible pregnancy. In the end, the girlfriends discover that their friendship is real and more than a pair of jeans.I have watched this sequel during a flight without watching "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and I liked the story in spite of not being familiarized with the characters. The story about friendship and discoveries is a sort of teen version of "Sex and the City", with four young women that belong to different ethnic groups and backgrounds, but have also a solid friendship that help each other in the bad moments and celebrate together the good ones. The four subplots entwined by an apparently magic pair of jeans are good, but Carmen's one is certainly the more engaging. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): Not Available

The first installment had the 4 high school friends starting their young adult lives. This one takes up a few years later, as they are in college. The main of the story is set in the summer.This is a different movie, not simply a continuation of the first one so I will not try to compare them directly. There are 4 stories here, somewhat interwoven, but still 4 stories. I liked 2 of them, the other 2 I sort of patiently waited until it cut to another.America Ferrera is back as Carmen, and her main story is going with an acting friend to Vermont for summer theater. All she wants to do is get a little experience backstage. But when there she meets Brit Tom Wisdom as actor Ian, who convinces her to read, and she ends up getting a lead role. I liked this story.Blake Lively is back as Bridget, whose mother had taken her own life just 4 years earlier. She seemed to have a good relationship with her dad, but she found old letters to her from her grandmother in Alabama, that dad had kept from her, and she became angry. Then she went off to do archaeological field work for the summer. Her dad in real life, also an actor, plays her dad in the movie. I also liked this story.Alexis Bledel is back as Lena, and we remember that she and Kostas had a brief romance in Greece. When she goes back she finds that he is recently married, a big emotional setback, and she spends the rest of the movie dealing with it. This part of the story I found a bit tedious.Amber Tamblyn is back as Tibby, working in a video store. She has a boyfriend she thinks she loves, but really is afraid of relationships. his story I also found tedious, even though I like Tamblyn.Blythe Danner is good as Greta, Bridget's grandmother.SPOILERS: Where the first movie used the "traveling pants" and its seemingly magic qualities to help each girl, this movie weans them from that idea. The pants doesn't always get to the right girl, and they finally get lost in Greece when Lena's younger sister takes them there. The theme being, each girl has what she needs inside her, she doesn't need the pants. Bridget visits her grandmother in Alabama, realizes some things about her family, and goes home and makes up with her dad. Lena and Kostas reunite, but he is going to London to study.

I honestly wish that I had seen the "Dark Knight" or at least "Step Brothers"; seriously if you're going to the movies then see those films or the "Star Wars Clone Wars". But avoid this one at all costs; it will bore you to death.What's the plot? Unlike the first one, there was none worth mentioning in this one. Except for basically that Leena is bitchy about Kratos (I don't care if I spelled his name wrong; I hate the film too much to care) getting married to someone else, Carmen gets a major role in a play and her mother is pregnant, Bridgette goes to an archaelogical (sp?) trip then goes home to her grandmother then Tibby is being her usual bitchy self but this time she is worried about being pregnant with Brian's baby; and guess what? As predictable as it is, it turns out she isn't. But she ends up leaving Brian in anyway because "she doesn't want to talk to him" or some bullshit like that. But she ends up with him in the end; as I predicted.The characters are bland and annoying. Now in the first one, I liked Tibby. But in this movie she got really annoying; along with everyone else. The books just bored me to the core; but the movie was worse.I'm happy that I didn't spend my money on this trash; but I feel sorry for my mom because she did thinking that I would like because my stupid little sister does.Right now I really wish that I had a say in what movie to see; I would've automatically went for 'Step Brothers' because it's a comedy and I prefer comedies over chick flicks any day.At all costs, avoid this film!
