(1 - 31) of 31 OFCS Rating: 68% Fresh Page   1   "Not everything is resolved in this gem of a movie, but one thing comes through with stunning clarity -- the importance of having good friends you can count on."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B- "Traveling Pants will be catnip for the core readership, but the possibility for this material to register more strongly with the senses nags the entire film."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Engaging even when relegated to narrator, America Ferrera is the most compelling reason to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs B- "A coming-of-age chick flick filled with enough charm to fill a soccer stadium or two."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "A warm-hearted, enjoyable diversion. A possible contender for one of the sleeper hits of the summer."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "It deals with mature themes, yet keeps a patina of fluffiness over the whole thing. It's a serious movie, but a fun one."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "This isn't a bad movie or an insulting one, but it is awfully simple, and not particularly interesting for those of us out of its demographic."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3/5 "Wonderful heart-affecting drama about four teenagers bonded together by caring and a pair of jeans."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "I am unquestionably not a member of the target demographic for Ken Kwapis' The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but that didn't prevent me from enjoying it."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli '3/4' "A profoundly sweet take on girls growing into women."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "It's all a bit simplistic, but it's harmless enough and goes down smoothly. I rather enjoyed it."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3.5/4 "I’m clearly not the target audience, but I genuinely enjoyed this feel-good tearjerker."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "...the movie is practically stolen by supporting player Boyd. Watch out Dakota Fanning"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford B- "The pleasant actresses compensate for the originality and surprises that Sisterhood lacks."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[A] training-bra of a flick designed to indoctrinate tweens with the estrogen-drenched sappiness of 'women’s pop culture'..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/5 "This is lazy, lazy storytelling."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/4 "Sisterhood is likely to fit different kinds of moviegoers, even if it doesn’t look that way on the surface. You just have to be willing to try it on."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan A- "This story is told with sincerity, heart, and a little bit of magic -- the very same qualities that made the original book a "you have to read this" classic for young girls."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2.5/4 "The film's acknowledgement that growing up often requires coming to terms with loss results in a mature, untidy view of adolescence."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "The message would have been more effective if they had stuck to their guns and urged awareness and independence in their young female audience"   Filmcritic.com   Pete Croatto 3.5/5 "Sisterhood may not be much more than a story about girlfriends growing up, and it’s not going to score any points for edginess, but it’s entertaining in a low-key, non-threatening kind of way."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3/5 "[It] isn’t awful -- it beats any of the recent Hilary Duff films like a gong -- but it is the kind of slick, flashy thing that may look okay for a few days, only to be thrown in the back of the closet and forgotten forever."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 2.5/5 "The filmmakers just can't resist sentiment, and seem happy to wallow in corny humour, predictable sappiness and heavy-handed moralising."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "There is such confidence and loving direction in “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.""   Film Threat   Rory L. Aronsky 2.5/5 "Four strong performances from four young actresses aside, there's nothing here that you haven't seen before, better, and with a lot more sincerity."   DVDTalk.com   Scott Weinberg B- "It can be overly sappy but sweet enough to please. All four actresses are believable, particularly when Sisterhood sells tough resolutions to the issues raised."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Sean O'Connell 8/10 "There's raw, emotional honesty here, making it an irresistible, magical movie your heart won't let you forget."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "A watchable if altogether predictable film that only skims the emotional surface of its episodic narrative."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 1.5/4 "Makes my skin crawl. You?"   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3.5/4 "Sisterhood is one of those rare teen movies that not only encapsulates the hazards of growing up but allows an adult audience to relate to and enjoy instead of endure."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell Read review   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel  (1 - 31) of 31 OFCS Rating: 68% Fresh Page   1
