Sisterhood Of The Traveling PantsMake it a Girl's Night Out!

Based on the book by Anne Bashares, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" follows four girls around the world as they spend their first summer apart. To stay connected, they pass along a pair of magical jeans that fit each girl despite their differences in size and shape.
The film easily finds its audience among teenage girls and makes for an excellent mother/daughter flick. Unlike other recent films in this genre such as "Mean Girls" and "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" that go for the comedic approach to the tribulations of being a teenage girl, "The Sisterhood" successfully aims for a deeper, more emotional approach of dealing with life's obstacles and focuses on growing up.
Alexis Bledel (TV's Gilmore Girls) continues to shine as she branches into feature films. Jenna Boyd also gives a great performance as a little girl dying of Leukemia. Guys, don't let your girlfriends talk you into seeing this one - let them have a girls night out!
