The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 Trailer . IMDB	In a summer when Anne Hathaway has been caught in her lingerie and Angelina Jolie has been dipped in wax, it seems the height of hypocrisy for male critics to begrudge young women a little wish fulfillment of their own. J. Robert Parks Daily Plastic	It's such a pleasure (and a relief) to encounter movies such as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Like the first Pants movie, it presents its heroines' relationships as complicated, challenging and particularly rewarding, and not simply as a vehicle for finding the perfect boyfriend. Jessica Reaves Chicago Tribune but A protective layer of fairy-tale wish fulfillment keeps its characters, adapted from Ann Brashares's novels, at a studious distance from brute reality. Stephen Holden New York Times This follow-up is a structural mess whose myriad plotlines lurch about in search of direction and whose character arcs are more akin to haphazard squiggly lines. Nick Schager Slant Magazine The film ends by closing the door on future sequels, which is probably fine. Everyone here looks like they've learned their lesson and can now move on. Keith Phipps Onion AV Club The women are all sincere, intelligent, vulnerable, sweet, warm. That's in contrast to Sex and the City with its narcissistic and shallow heroines. The SATC ladies should fill their flasks with cosmopolitans, go to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 and cry their hearts out with futile regret for their misspent lives. Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times
