Laugh. Cry. Share the pants.
Our Page To Screen series is back to present a 20th anniversary screening of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants!
Four best friends (Tibby, Lena, Carmen & Bridget) buy a mysterious pair of pants that fits each of them, despite their differing sizes, and makes whoever wears them feel fabulous. When faced with the prospect of spending their first summer apart, the pals decide they’ll swap the pants so that each girl in turn can enjoy the magic.
Adapted from Ann Brashares’s bestselling novels, the film became a standout of mid-2000s teen cinema by centering female friendship as the main event instead of the subplot. Starring Blake Lively, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel, the story uses a simple magical premise to explore body image and growing up.

Featuring moody cinematography by the great Robby Müller, a mesmerizing score by the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, and a host of colorful character actors (including a memorably stone-faced Henry Silva), Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai plays like a pop-culture-sampling cinematic mixtape built around a one-of-a-kind tragic hero.
