Four girls, one pair of jeans. That’s pretty much the premise of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005), a movie about four friends named Tibby (Amber Tamblyn), Bridget (Blake Lively), Carmen (America Ferrera), and Lena (Alexis Bledel) who are about to embark on their first summer vacation away from one another. While Lena is visiting family in Greece, Bridget is traveling to Mexico for soccer, Carmen is visiting her dad in another state and Tibby is staying home and working on a documentary. Before bidding adieu, the girls get together for a shopping trip where they stumble upon a pair of jeans that magically fits all of them perfectly. They decide to share the pants over the summer. Forget friendship bracelets—imagine being bonded with your soul sisters by a pair of denim dungarees!
