movie review: the sisterhood of the traveling pants

Last night, I went with Mike and Maureen to Seoul House for some Korean/Japanese food. They recently renovated the restaurant and it looks awesome. Very awesome. We opted to not eat bbq but the smell of the food made us regret just ordering off the menu. We'll just have to wait another time to cook our own house. It's under new management but the prices and menu are the same.

Anyway, after dinner, we went to watch The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. I have wanted to watch this movie all summer but I wanted to wait until I finished reading Forever in Blue (the last installment of the series. The movie was actually really just based on the last book. And seeing that I just finished the book, I remember every little part so the movie was not that interesting. The stories were choppy (just like in the book), Carmen's story was boring, Bridget's story lacked a male counterpart, Tibby's character had a lot going on for her and she is so funny, Lena had the main storyline and what Mike pointed out - how are these young girls able to fly all over the place in one summer? So in the end, not too impressed and I should have just waited to watch it on DVD. I really loved the first movie, I cried to pieces when I watched it. Maybe if I didn't read the book, I would have had a more emotional attachment to it.
