Who would smart a gimmick like a pair of pants to the hook for such a magical, charming and emotionally rich teen movie? Four close friends discover a pair of pants that fit perfectly, although they are physically very different. Since all four go in different directions for the summer, they undertake each wear their trousers for a week and then mail them to the next girl. In Greece, discovered Lena (Alexis Bledel, Gilmore Girls) lands in the middle of a Romeo & Juliet romantic family feud, Carmen (America Ferrera, Real Women Have Curves) that her estranged father is to marry a blonde Southern belle; Bridget ( newcomer Blake Lively) flirts with love at the Mexican soccer camp, and Tibby (Amber Tamblyn, Joan of Arcadia) stays home and gets a boring retail job to pay for her documentary - but find themselves with an unwanted young assistant (Jenna Boyd , The Missing). These four stories manage to an amazing amount of ground cover (touch of race, body issues, Divorce, mortality, and more), not on stereotypes or easy resolutions. The engaging characters are brought vivid life by these four talented actresses, who grab this excellent script and run with it. One of the best films about teenage life in a long, long time. - Bret Fetzer
