01/29/06 The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants

The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants (2005), directed by Ken Kwapis

watched w/ Leslie, Sarah & Rebecca; DVD (family's copy) @ my parents' house (Southern Pines, NC)

Being that today was my parents' anniversary, I went home to visit them and my little sisters. They are all fully aware of my year-long challenge here, so far be it for them to try and throw me a bone. Yes, it's not below me to sit through a so-called "chick flick" in order to keep my nose in the air, but please. This is the type of movie that appeals to my 11 year-old sister, and that is a little upsetting to me. I'm by far no conservative, but sometimes these movies that are geared towards the younger crowd involve actors/actresses that in reality are closer to 30, playing teenagers in high school doing things high schoolers shouldn't really be doing with other actors/actresses that portray & are 30. That creepy thematic element keeps me from ever taking it seriously. Plus, it's about magic pants...c'mon. Unless your Bootsy Collins or Willy Wonka, don't come yapping to me about magic pants. There is sadness in parts, which later made me feel somewhat bad for having made fun of them all the way throughout the film. And no magic pants can cure it.

2 out of 5 stars

    There was no other place to post this so I am posting it here. I think the best movie to watch on valentine's day would be a German film called Nobody Loves Me (1995). It is funny and wonderful and will fill you with joy. As it is not likely to make the vday cut, I would still reccommend adding it to your list of movies to watch. -sister of L

    this was the movie playing from the flight from NY to HK. Over the 16 hour flight they played this thing three times. Although I have never seen it completly in its true glory. I am at one with the sisterhood of the traveling pants. I hope the make a grittier sequel called, Sisterhood of the traveling hot pants. Could be a low grade womens prison porn. Big on bonding and camel toe.
