Rated PG-13 for mature material and sensuality.
reviewed by Steven Harrell
Excerpt of Review: Most of the anticipated summer releases this year have been aimed at the male
species. The huge success of “The Dark Knight” is sure to further fuel the latex-and-complicated-backstory frenzy. But “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2″ is a movie built just for you, ladies, and without nearly as much sex or city (but even more product placement) as the summer’s other movie about four female friends.
The Story
“Sisterhood 2″ picks up three years after the first movie left off. They girls have graduated high school and just finished their first year of college. Carmen (America Ferrera) is looking forward to returning home and spending the summer catching up with her three best friends, especially after her busy year working behind the scenes at Brown’s theatre program. Alternative Tibby (Amber Tamblyn) spent the year in film school at NYU; pretty Lena (Alexis Bledel) has been at the super-exclusive Rhode Island School of Design; and athletic Bridget (Blake Lively) was on a soccer scholarship at Yale.
But when she gets home, Carmen discovers that each of the girls has already planned to spend summer apart. . .
