Like the premier installment, this picture explores the seriocomic events that unfold one summer in the lives of four temporarily estranged friends as an extremely special pair of jeans works its way from one girl to the next. In one subplot, Lena (Alexis Bledel) travels to Providence, RI, and enrolls in a painting course; in another, Bridget (Blake Lively) embarks on an archaeological excavation in Greece; in a third, Carmen (America Ferrera) works on the backstage crew for a Vermont-based theater festival; and in the fourth, Tibby remains in New York and enrolls in summer courses. Sanaa Hamri, best known for her Prince and Mariah Carey music videos, directs; Elizabeth Chandler, who co-scripted the first film, adapts the Brashares book. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
You believe these four are friends now and will probably be friends when they're little old ladies.
-
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
It doesn't measure up to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Which is sort of like saying Rocky V wasn't as good as Rocky IV. Sort of.

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
What had once seemed like a fresh alternative to the usual tween-girl movie has begun to fray.
-
Jessica Reaves, Chicago Tribune
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.

Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Turns out to be a lot less tiresome than it sounds, aided by a wonderfully appealing cast and a strong message.
