Most sequels are worse than the originals. A few are better. Here's one that is exactly as good as the one that inspired it, and that's enough for me.

Reviews for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
I imagine if I were a woman, this movie would receive a very favorable review. However, I'm just a fat guy from Ohio.

You believe these four are friends now and will probably be friends when they’re little old ladies.

It's a film that probably will please its targeted viewer more than it did me.

Packed with emotions and the angst of growing up, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" fits an older audience than the first movie.

By ending it at number two, the filmmakers have insured that this series won't be subject to the laws of most franchises and grow shoddier as it creaks along.

America Ferrera projects such star power here that I felt cheated when the camera moved to other characters. The rest of the film seemed to drag for me.

Masterfully directed in cutting fashion by Sanaa Hamri--no scene seems to last more than a couple of minutes, and then the pants come into play--the story has been superbly brought to the screen by Elizabeth Chandler, and the four lead actresses are all t

Ann Brashares' novel is brought to life in this sequel with the same heart, earnestness and, let's face it, saccharine sweetness of the 2005 original.

I wasn't a film critic when the first one came out, which was a great excuse not to see it. However, I liked the sequel so much that I am running to the video store right now to rent it.

What had once seemed like a fresh alternative to the usual tween-girl movie has begun to fray.

Top Critic Like its predecessor, Sisterhood 2 is based on two radical ideas: namely, that young women's stories are about more than the pursuit of men, and that happiness isn't something someone else gives you -- it's something you have to find for yourself.
