Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A Beautiful Film Any Female Will Love Comment: Based around four best friends, `The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants' is a beautiful story of friendship, love & loss. Its summer & the four girls Tibby (Amber Tamblyn), Lena (Alexis Bledel), Carmen (America Ferrera) & Bridget (Blake Lively) are all doing different things. Lena's going to Europe to stay with extended family, Carmen is meeting her dad's new family, Bridget is going to football camp & Tibby is staying home, making a documentary about the `freaks' of society. The film switches between the four girls as they mail each other `magical jeans' that miraculously fit all of them at different stages in the summer. I wasn't expecting much from this film judging by the cheesy title, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it & how emotionally involved I became with the characters. My favourite characters were Tibby & Carmen. The other two I could take or leave, especially Lena whose story in my mind wasn't very interesting. I loved Tibby; she is the misfit indie girl of the group, she befriends a young girl named Bailey & the relationship between them is amazing, how two people so different can all of a sudden become best friends. Tamblyn's performance is without a doubt the best of the lot. Carmen is the chubby girl of the group, self-conscious & feeling rejected because her dad has in her mind left her behind for a new `perfect' family. Lena falls for a boy whose family have been feuding with her own for decades; it's a `Romeo & Juliet' type story line. While Bridget is dealing with the boy she likes & coming to terms with the death of her mother. In some ways `The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants' is a coming of age tale, adolescent girls maturing into women. The film has the ability to make you laugh & cry throughout. I would recommend this film to any teenage girl & any other women for that matter, its something that any female can watch, enjoy & relate to. Customer Rating: Summary: Girlie feel good film Comment: Not a very involved storyline. Easy to guess the end, as it is with all chick flicks really. Good actresses though and enjoyable for a quiet night in with female friends Customer Rating: Summary: You think a pair of pants that fits all three of you is going to fit all of this (Carmen referring to her fatness) Comment: This movie was just awful. Not one of the characters looked or acted like they were supposed to, except maybe America Ferrera. Avoid this like the plague. Customer Rating: Summary: Forget the title this is the best film ever! Comment: This film is adapted from a book which was reccommended to me by a friend. I was a bit apprehensive at first most likely due to the title. But, when I finally started to read it I was blown away. It is amazing. As soon as I had finished I read the two sequels and carried on being amazed! I then saw some adverts for the film and rushed straight to the cinema to see it. I am someone who has always believed a book will be better than a film but I stand corrected. This film is definatley the best I have ever seen and touched me in a way that none other has. The story follows four girls summer, Tibby (the rebel), Bridget (wild and sporty), Lena (shy and beautiful), and Carmen ( the writer)They had never been apart all their lives they had been best friends, until this summer. They will all be going away to different places. Bridget, to a soccer camp, Lena to Greece, Carmen to see her Dad and Tibby reluctantly staying at home working in Wallmans ( a supermarket). Before they go away they all go shopping together and in a small thrift store they find an ordinary pair of jeans. These jeans fit all of them perfectly even though they are all different heights and shapes. They take this to be a sign and decide that while they are away they will all share these jeans and send them fromone girl to the other while they are away. I do have to emphasis that the story is not about the jeans, it is about the things that to happen to these girls in their first summer apart and the touching realisation that true friends will never be apart. Buy this film it will change your views on film forever. Customer Rating: Summary: A fantastic film!!! Comment: Ok, I know this is a film that is targeted towards girls, and women, but I love this film so much! I was in my local video rental store one afternoon looking for something to rent and watch in the evening, and I saw the box for this film, and the rather odd title got my attention. Well, I picked it up and read the back cover. It didn't sound like the sort of film I would like, but something inside of me kept saying "rent it, rent it!" Well I did, and my missus was surprised when I brought it home. We watched it that night, and she thought it was just an average chick-flick, but I found it to be so much more than that. This is the story of how four best friends find a pair of jeans that somehow fits them all perfectly, and decide to share them, each one having the jeans for a week, and then posting them on to the next whilst they spend their summer away from each other. Whilst apart they experience both good and bad times. When the girls all meet up again after the summer break, they have all changed in their attitudes towards everything in life. Most especially Tibby, who before the break was very much a rebel, and rather negative in her opinions about things. After the death of her little friend Bailey (who had Leukemia) she starts to show a much more caring and loving side. Carmen makes peace with her Father, Lena breaks the long running feud between the Kaligaris and the Dounas families, and Bridget falls in love with her Soccer coach "Eric Richman". The film is backed by a great musical score that sounds very enchanting at times, and it also has a totally awesum soundtrack (see my review for the CD on Amazon.com as the CD is only available currently in the USA). I bought the soundtrack CD and play it all the time now! This is a film up there now in my top 10 fave films. I have reccommended this film to loads of people (mostly women tho), and all have watched it, loved it, and just like myself - bought the DVD! A fantastic and fun film. 10/10. More Reviews
