Reviews for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
Top CriticI 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
A shapely sequel that retains much of the sparkle and warmth that made the original such a pleasant surprise.
08/01/08
Very much a loyal sequel to its predecessor, essentially showing that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
12/09/08
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
It doesn't measure up to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Which is sort of like saying Rocky V wasn't as good as Rocky IV. Sort of.
08/08/08
You believe these four are friends now and will probably be friends when they’re little old ladies.
08/11/08
Top CriticAren't these ladies too old for this?
08/05/08
This movie isn't made for me, so I hate it. I guess I need more explosions or grown men wearing superhero costumes to be more interested.
08/06/08
There's a thin line between jeans that are well worn and jeans that are ratty and used up, and Traveling Pants 2 crosses that line.
08/06/08
[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
There's scant sisterhood or pants, but these chicas do travel.
08/08/08
Screenwriter Elizabeth Chandler gracefully condenses three of Ann Brashares's best-selling teen novels, striking the right balance between humor and pathos as the characters cope with jealousy, heartbreak, family conflicts, and a pregnancy scare.
08/07/08
In the end it has a nice lesson about life and friendship, but man! The trip there is so superficial and sappy that it's not much fun at all.
08/06/08
America Ferrera projects such star power here that I felt cheated when the camera moved to other characters. The rest of the film seemed to drag for me.
08/09/08
Ann 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.
08/08/08
The four leads are all capable stewards of their characters, each with their own sunniness and charm.
08/01/08
Granted, I'm miles outside of the target demographic, and certainly Traveling Pants 2 will make for awesome pajama party fodder, but the bloodless nature of this sequel is tiresome to witness.
08/05/08
It's a movie that recognizes our flaws, but tells us we can rise above them -- and when we do, what we find will be worth it.
08/06/08
Second time around, the magic jeans are an even better fit.
