Great movie! All I have to say is be careful of the "passionate love" of Tibby and Brian

What Parents Need to Know
About The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
Parents need to know that this winning (if unsurprising) sequel is sure to appeal to teens and older tweens who are fans of both the books it's based on and the four stars, who are veterans of TV shows like Gossip Girl and Ugly Betty. That said, the characters are older now, and this film takes on more mature themes than the first movie. Some characters are sexually active: One girl loses her virginity, only to have a pregnancy scare soon after. Two underage characters drink wine in one minor scene, there are heavy discussions about suicide, and friendships are tested in sometimes painful ways. But all of these issues are relatable, and it's refreshing to see a film take them on in a straightforward manner. It's also great to see empowered, interested, caring teens make their way in the world.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what makes this movie different from other teen flicks. Is it a realistic or "Hollywood-ized" depiction of college students' lives and friendships? Can relationships that begin in childhood be sustained through life's ups and downs? How do you support your friends when they feel sad or angry? Families can also discuss the girls' different dilemmas. What issues do they have to confront? What choices must they make? How have they changed since the first movie?

I rate this title iffy for age 10 and give itPG in my opinion
Lives in MinnesotaI rate this title on for age 10 and give itMy concerns are:- Inappropriate sexual content
Teens should see this
This movie once again is the best! I love this series because it is acted out real well. One thing they did do that is diffrent from the last movie was put it up to rated pg13 that is just because there is one sex scene and it dosent show that much going on. I think that this movie is okay to watch if you are 10 or up because it is not that bad.

read the books first.
Good but I would not suggest it for younger kids. The book was much better. They should have made 2 or 3 more movies insted of just one

Loved it
This was a wonderfully made movie that I very much enjoyed. In my opinion it is much better and far more interesting than the first one. I think 14 year olds and up will love this one, there are some iffy messages throughout the film that may be a bit of concern..especially for the younger age range, but hey it's pretty tame compared to the other stuff out there today that kids are watching all the time! This is a great flick to see with friends or just your dog :)
