Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2
What girl doesn’t love Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants? I was sooo excited when I heard the entire original gang (Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledell, Blake Lively and America Ferrera) were reuniting for this wicked sequel. Part 2 follows the girls as they finish their first year of university and dive into an intense summer of fun. Bridget goes to Turkey on an archaeological dig, Carmen goes to a theatre production summer camp in Vermont, Lena discovers new love and heartbreak, while Tibby takes a big step forward in her relationship with Brian.
Filled with the same magic as the original, I’ve got this DVD on constant rotation at home! Relive the magic of the pants – grab your own copy now! DVD RRP$39.95 and Blu-Ray RRP$44.95.
