The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 , a chronicle about magical jeans, returns for a second trip -- a chick flick to compete with all the fanboy, druggie, and monster stuff out there for males. "Watching the sequel is like stumbling on a pair of jeans and realizing they still fit comfortably," writes Claudia Puig in USA Today. Stephen Holden in the New York Times compares the movie to "being patted on the shoulder by an encouraging high school guidance counselor and assured that you are doing just fine." Jessica Reaves writes that the movie is both a pleasure and a relief as "it presents its heroines' relationships as complicated, challenging and particularly rewarding, and not simply as a vehicle for finding the perfect boyfriend." On the other hand, Glenn Whipp concludes in the Los Angeles Daily News, "Pants is less interested in sisterhood and navigating young adulthood than it is in selling glossy girl fantasies of exotic locales and bodacious boyfriends."
