Its got a talented ensemble cast playing archetypal characters, its based on a best-selling novel, it celebrates the power of female bonding… and youll need a cattle prod to get the average straight guy to go see it.Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants(in theaters now) fits easily into that cinematic genre of estro-heavy movies that draw scads of mom-daughter, sister-sister, and BFF combos to movie theaters.
The story of four teenage girls Amber Tamblyn as The Rebel, Alexis Bledel as The Beauty, America Ferrera as The Writer, and Blake Lively as The Athlete who share a single pair of magic jeans during a memorable summer break is already generating solid reviews (EW gives it a B+), but if you prefer reaching for the Kleenex in the comfort of your own home, try any one of these nine chick-flick predecessors on DVD.
