Rama's Screen

This is straight up for girls only movie, … seriously! Any guy watching this would be… just because either their girlfriends force them to or they wanna get some at the end of the evening. It’s actually not a bad movie at all, but it’s not all that great either. It’s a teen drama that has every element that makes a decent chick flick including moments that make you go “Awww!”If you’re a fan of the first movie, then you’ll definitely like this sequel

Based on Ann Brashares’ best-selling series of novels, four young women continue the journey toward adulthood that began with “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” Now three years later, these lifelong friends embark on separate paths for their first year of college and the summer beyond, but remain in touch by sharing their experiences with each other as they always have–with honesty and humor. Discovering their individual strengths, fears, talents and capacity for love through the choices they make, they come to value more than ever the bond they share and the immeasurable power of their friendship.

I do enjoy the transition from how they were before into four girls in college and about to face life and all its challenges. I think the movie does a good job of assigning each and of them with different issues but doesn’t get them too heavy to handle. It’s tame. At least teen girl audiences could relate without having to be bombarded with unnecessary complicated hardcore matters.
They deal with the good old stuff about first love, heartbreaks, responsibilities, stuff that CW channel would show its demographic target market.

The way the scenes are delivered is in the same mild mannered way that TV teen dramas would do as well when handling a story that has quite a number of characters involved.
This movie may seem a bit long but I don’t think it’s as lengthy as something like Sex and the City the movie that had a story that supposedly went through a span of one year.
Sisterhood 2 only tells a summer tale.

If I had to choose which of the four girls give the best acting performance, it would have to be America Ferrera and Amber Tamblyn who prove to us that youth could mean just as powerful as experience. As the character who’s always been the backstage worker but now gets a chance in the spotlight, America Ferrera plays with everything she’s got, she manages to express the character’s insecurity and fear of change and that friends come and go. Similar thing happen with Amber Tamblyn, only she deals with a somewhat bigger responsibility.

The pants reprise the role again, the first name to be shown when the credits roll at the end should be the pants as the lead. The way that those nifty looking jeans become the only symbol that have kept them together all this time now seem to have become wiser than wise men the moment the pants are lost forever, leaving the girls to do on their own and keep their friendship no matter what, from here on out, pants or no pants.

This is the second movie this year that features the grand beauty of the country Greece, but this is slightly better than Mamma Mia!.
Greece looks breathtaking on the big screen. That place is gorgeous! I’ll put that in my bucket list as one of the places I have to visit before I kick the bucket.
Overall THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS 2 is a cute girlie movie that I’m sure will entertain any female movie audiences of any age everywhere.
