Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I have seen this movie before, but recently watched it again with some friends. I remember enjoying it the first time but I think I was better able to appreciate the storyline this time around. The story of four best friends split up for the summer as they each go their own way and plan to stay connected through a pair of jeans. The jeans will be passed from each girl and mark their adventures wherever they are and adventures is exactly what they have. Carmen is visiting her father in South Carolina for the summer where she finds he is getting married. She struggles with this new form of a family and how she will fit in. Lena visits her grandparents in Greece and finds love that she must hide from her grandparents because of a long forgotten feud between the two families (a slight Romeo and Juliette storyline). Tibby remains at home as she works at Wallman's and is determined to make a documentary. Despite her attempts to be callused toward much of her present circumstances, she finds a 12-year-old friend, Bailey, to soften her. Bridget goes to soccer camp in Mexico where she finds herself, but first she finds Eric. Bridget learns the value of love and what love isn't. They come together at the end of the summer still best friends learning and growing through their adventures.

You are bound to connect with one of these girls through the trials they encounter or just learn from their adventures. A great story of life, the choices we make and the consequences that come from these choices. In this movie, Hollywood does have somewhat of a conscience!
