FGFC official selection: THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS. Debrief at Segue with a themed activity, all things friendship and early-2000s nostalgia. And we must say, it's a denim kind of night.
2005, 119 minutes
Directed by Ken Kwapis
"Not all who wander are lost." Meet Tibby, Bridget, Lena and Carmen (Amber Tamblyn, Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera). As the summer before their 16th birthdays approaches, these four best friends with diverse family backgrounds and personalities hatch a plan to stay connected despite being separated for the entire season. The girls pass around a pair of secondhand jeans that, magically, look wonderful on all of them despite their different sizes, with each teen keeping the pants for two weeks. Over the summer, the pants come to represent the girls' mutual support of one another. But the jeans also lead each teenager into bruising yet ultimately healing confrontations with love and courage, death and forgiveness. Based on the novel by Ann Brashares.
