buzz film alert: sisterhood of the traveling pants

laugh all you want from the preposterous name, but i have a feeling that the film adaptation of this wonderful book will be a summer surprise smash!

originally written by ann brashares, the sisterhood of the traveling pants tells the story of a group of best friends who have to separate for the 1st time during their 16th summer. discovering that a pair of jeans miraculously fits all the girls, they decide to pass on the jeans to each other every two weeks, in hopes that it will create a stronger emotional bond even though they are physically apart.

with a smart teen friendly cast (alexis bledel, amber tamblyn, america fererra and newbie blake lively), the girls embark on personal adventures that takes them from greece to soccer camp to suburbia to the mall.

the books (so far there are three) are already bestsellers and trust me, the films release this summer will only propel the series to new heights.
