Red Carpet Video Produced by Mikkel Kastberg

If you liked the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 1, you will definitely enjoy the sequel. Sanaa Hamri’s film starring Amber Tamblyn, Blake Lively, America Ferrera, and Alexis Bledel came out yesterday is sure to be a big hit. The movie follows the sisterhood through the next major stage of their lives: college. Carmern (America Ferrera) is at Yale studying drama, Bridget (Blake Lively) is at Brown playing soccer, Lena (Alexis Bledel) is at RISD studying art, and Tibby (Amber Tablyn) is at NYU making documentaries. It’s great to see that all of the girls are following their own unique paths.

In the movie, the characters are brought together because of a magical pair of pants that fits all of them perfectly. However, it seems that this time the pants are not enough to get them through tough times. The film deals with heavy hitting issues like suicide, sex, and betrayal in an appropriate yet sensitive fashion. You can see that Hamri has worked with young women before since she takes such an insightful approach to these topics.

On a lighter note, the girls’ adorable love interests, Brian McBrian (Leonardo Nam) and Kostos Dounas (Michael Rady), are back. We of course were happy to see them again, especially at the premiere because they were just as cute in person.

With its Grecian backdrop and uplifting message, the Sisterhood is a perfect fit for a girls night out!
