We often have expectations that a movie will follow a book to the letter. Due to time limitations, creative ideas, etc. the film makers often need to adjust the story from the book to fit the film. As a lover... Read more at imdb.com

You can almost feel the bittersweet pangs of first love from the image alone--confirming that The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was cast well, if executed with the halts and pops of veteran TV director Ken Kwapis' thirty-minute timer.
Kwapis is definitely a bright guy and the choices he's made appear to have by and large benefited these characters--and for as irritating as I found the film to be, it could've been a lot, lot worse without Kwapis at the scissors.

A pair of jeans that Tibby spots looks great on each of the four differently sized teens, so the girls gather where their mothers first met to form "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Kwapis keeps us engaged throughout the film's rather long (for its demographic) running time, even though his construction of the film is rather stodgy.

Reel.com
An adaptation of Ann Brashares' best-selling young adult novel, this seriocomic ensemble drama is a watchable if altogether predictable film that only skims the emotional surface of its episodic narrative.
In a season where most studio films seem to be targeted at 13-year-old boys with attention deficit disorder, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants offers tween and teen girls a sweet respite from the loud, special effects-driven action flicks crowding the multiplex.

So call it something of a minor miracle that The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants has turned out so enormously enjoyable.
But a pestering young girl (the remarkable Jenna Boyd) provides more help than she expected.
