Movies

My 10 year old daughter and I went to see this yesterday. I haven't read the books, but she has. We had mixed reviews...I enjoyed the movie but Elizabeth was terribly disappointed. She kept whispering "Mom, that's not in the book"..."that didn't happen that way"...and apparently some pretty major discrepancies exist. Because I didn't have any plot expectations. I thought the movie was well done. The characters were believable, the acting was great, the topics were handled in a manner that was suitable for my pre-teen to watch. The comments I overheard from the other audience members (99% teenage girls at this Friday matinée!) were positive. My rating is a combination of my score (8 or 9) and her score (4 or 5). So just a word of caution...if you expect the move to follow the book, you may be disappointed.

"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" was a truly enlightening movie. I saw it in theaters last weekend with my mom and my sister. It was a beautiful movie that I immediately fell in love with."The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" told the story of four friends: Lena, Bridget, Tibby, and Carmen. They have been friends for their entire lives and never been separated. Now when they are teenagers for the first time in their lives, they are going there separate ways. Before they separated they discovered a pair of pants that fit them all. They decided to share the pair of pants during the summer and each experience the 'magic' of the pants.Overall this was a really good movie and everyone should see it. I give this movie 10/10 stars.

Surprisingly, I throughly loved this movie. It was not at all what I expected. Not your typical teen movie. There is something for everyone in this film. The acting of the young ladies is beyond brilliant. The film writing was fantastic. It was funny, touching, emotional and a well rounded film. I can only imagine how great the book is.What I loved most about the film was the different direction it takes with each of girls. The joys, the pains, the struggles, the strength. Lessons for each of us to learn.10 stars out of 10 - it's beyond perfect. I highly recommend this movie to everyone. It is sure to delight everyone in the family.
