Trivia:

In the scene featuring The Cheetah Girls member Adrienne Bailon, her fellow band member Sabrina Bryan's fitness DVD Byou (2006) (V) can be seen next to Amber Tamblyn.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Bridget finds the letters from Greta in her dad's basement that her father had hidden from her, there is no USPS cancellation stamp printed over any of the postage stamps. This would indicate the letters were intercepted before they were mailed. Since Greta lives in Alabama, this doesn't seem possible.

Quotes:

Lena:How do you say "lost pants" in Greek?
Yia Yia:Greek girls do not lose their pants!

Solid, enjoyable film with superb acting

I always mean't to write something for the first movie but never got around to it. I was living with a friend of mine at the time who was a fan of the books and she asked me to go see the movie with her. Like most people not familiar with them my reaction was something like 'a movie about traveling pants?' but to my surprise there was a whole lot more to it than that. After seeing it I began to read the books up until last summer when I saw the sequel in theaters. The rest is history.

I won't bother to comment about the many plot complexities of the second film with regard to the order in which they happened in the books as many others have. Overall it was an enjoyable film and what stands out most to me is the acting. Very few movies this year have impressed me as this one did. I couldn't think of any other 4 young actresses I would rather see portray my 4 favorite fictitious people in Bethesda, MD. It makes me sad to think there won't be any other movies but sometimes a good thing is best left alone.
