I just saw "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" (no spoilers)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0403508/ (in case you haven't heard of it).

My review? Better than expected. The girls that acted in the movie (Amber Tamblyn - Joan of Arcadia, Alexis Bledel - Gilmore Girls, America Ferrera - Real Women Have Curves, and newcomer Blake Lively) all did a wonderful job. It's definitely a chick flick and definitely something I'd take my little sisters to see. If you're looking for a mother/daughter movie or a good flick to laugh and cry a little with the girls, this is it. Better leave the boys at home for this one ladies, I don't think their minds would appreciate it. :) Don't have too high expectations or you won't appreciate the storylines, this movie isn't flashy.

If you're worried about profanity or it being appropriate for the younger crowd, 'ass' was said three times (I think) and I'm pretty sure that was it. I think the movie gives off a very positive vibe for young girls and gives them new perspectives of people from different backgrounds. Bring the kleenex, I know I needed it.

Hope this was helpful. In short, fun movie with a good message for the female audience, but don't go in expecting it's the next Oscar winner.

1. I have a few female friends who, once they see it, are never gonna shut up
They're obsessed. It's scary, haha.

2. LOL!
That's cute! I'd really like to read the book, I'm sure it's better than the movie (we all know that's how it goes), but I was pleasantly surprised. I can imagine young girls are going to by jeans for a different reason now. :D

12. Yay!
:) I'm so proud! I think you'll like it.

I have lots of unresolved issues and yeah, this movie brought a few of those raging back. So, it was good. :D But very weepy. Plus there's a GORGEOUS man in this movie! Well, two actually!

I'm in the mood for a good emo movie. Lately it's been sci-fi or horror, so this will be a nice change.

Did it have more of an impact on you than Napolean Dynamite? haha

I mean, ND is a fun movie if you're... high or drunk, but this one actually has some meaning. :D

16. Film has a nice charity connection
in larger markets. I predict it will be the "sleeper" hit of the summer.

18. Same here.
I'd love to read the book. It's one of those movies you could watch a few times and not get sick of it. :)
