“Sisterhood” is a rare movie that brings moviegoers inside the lives of its main characters in a touching and balanced way. The four girls who fit the pants, and the one who doesn’t, face several challenges as they go their separate ways for summer vacation. This film stresses how the bonds of friendship can reach across several miles and situations.

Destined to become a coming-of-age classic, “Sisterhood” exhibits a refreshing lack of bad language that one often finds in films of this type. The writer and director show amazing insights in the creation of this film and actually produce a movie appropriate for its target market—”tween-age” girls. In fact, the only objectionable content occurs when a high school girl and a college boy have a sexual encounter (not shown), but the situation is dealt with respectfully and not glorified. Both parties regret their actions.
