Reviews for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
With very little sex and very little city, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 still seems a good bet to grab a sizable chunk of the underserved chick-flick demographic.
08/01/08
Top CriticDespite my misgivings I was gleefully, guiltily glad to see them all again.
08/05/08
Three years have passed, but the pants still fit.
08/06/08
Top CriticAs harmless and predictable as an episode of 'The Facts of Life' (although I don't think any of Mrs. Garrett's girls ever had a pregnancy scare).
08/05/08
As chick flicks go, this is one men can attend with the expectation that they might just enjoy experiencing two hours alongside these down-to-earth, appealing characters.
08/07/08
Top CriticMasterfully directed in cutting fashion by Sanaa Hamri--no scene seems to last more than a couple of minutes, and then the pants come into play--the story has been superbly brought to the screen by Elizabeth Chandler, and the four lead actresses are all t
08/08/08
By ending it at number two, the filmmakers have insured that this series won't be subject to the laws of most franchises and grow shoddier as it creaks along.
08/09/08
Charts the difficulties four young women have in keeping alive their friendship and the ritual that animates it.
08/06/08
Provides a strong showcase for four deserving actresses and healthy lessons for an underserved audience of girls and young women.
08/05/08
I imagine if I were a woman, this movie would receive a very favorable review. However, I'm just a fat guy from Ohio.
08/13/08
Very much a loyal sequel to its predecessor, essentially showing that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
12/09/08
...that rare sequel that not only stands up to its predecessor, but slightly surpasses it.
08/06/08
Packed with emotions and the angst of growing up, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" fits an older audience than the first movie.
08/09/08
what was fresh in the original is stale in the sequel
08/13/08
Despite the flaws, the movie is reasonably pleasant most of the time. Some of that is leftover goodwill from the first film, but it is also a tribute to the four starring actresses.
08/05/08
Top CriticMembers of the sisterhood are often getting upset for one baffling reason or another.
08/06/08
Top Critic[T]his sequel to the 2005 sleeper hit feels like the Teen People version of an old Hollywood "women's picture," the sort of vehicle that kept Joan Blondell and Ann Sothern busy before and during World War II.
08/04/08
The sisters can go their separate ways, no doubt keeping in touch by e-mail, and congratulating themselves on being infinitely better than the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.
08/05/08
Top CriticAnn Brashares' novel is brought to life in this sequel with the same heart, earnestness and, let's face it, saccharine sweetness of the 2005 original.
