Consensus:
This adaptation of a beloved novel charms with its heartwarming tale of friendship and young adulthood; realistic portrayals of the lives of teenage girls lend the comedy-drama sincerity, and may capture hearts outside the female-centric demographic.
Runtime: 1 hr 59 mins

Unashamedly aimed at its pre-teen target market, who will probably in all fairness, really enjoy it.

It sounds like a touchy-feely Gap commercial, but this fantastical premise jars with a refreshingly realistic look at girls making the tricky transition to womanhood.

The filmmakers just can't resist sentiment, and seem happy to wallow in corny humour, predictable sappiness and heavy-handed moralising.

Equal parts touching and corny, the film is a sentimental teen girl summer adventure that has enough genuine moments to rise above its familiar feeling of plain old recycled clothing.

For the most part, director Ken Kwapis and screenwriters Delia Ephron and Elizabeth Chandler (who adapted Ann Brashares' novel) keep things tart, dry-eyed and briskly moving.

Four friends on a quest to find something, only to realize that anything resembling an answer is to be found in the journey itself, in their friendships, and in themselves.

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.

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.

The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants is ideal for a mother-daughter or best-friends-forever cinema excursion, but it may not be the most satisfying two hours for the rest of the movie-going public.

The cinema has seen plenty of coming-of-age tales over the decades, but few are as sweet and well-constructed as this take on the popular Ann Brashares novel.

Call it something of a minor miracle that The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants has turned out so enormously enjoyable.

There is such confidence and loving direction in “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants."

It's all a bit simplistic, but it's harmless enough and goes down smoothly. I rather enjoyed it.
