THE STORY:
Introduced as babies who were born to mothers who met in a prenatal aerobics class, the four grew up together and developed an enduring bond despite their distinctly different emerging personalities. Now, after years of sharing every triumph and loss, every wild idea and secret fear with the laughter and love of true friends, these four young women couldn’t be closer… except that they’re about to be separated as their lives take them in different directions for the first time.

Meet introspective and occasionally volatile Carmen (AMERICA FERRERA) is looking forward to spending quality time with her out-of-state dad, whom she hasn’t seen much since he divorced her mother years ago;

super-confident star athlete Bridget (BLAKE LIVELY) is heading for a soccer camp in Mexico; soft-spoken

Lena (ALEXIS BLEDEL), a gifted artist as beautiful as her drawings, is set to discover her heritage – and an unexpected romance – on a trip to her grandparents’ home in Greece;

and sharp-witted rebel Tibby (AMBER TAMBLYN) will reluctantly remain in town, stocking shelves at the local discount store while working on her pet project, a video “suckumentary” to expose what she sees as the banality of everyday life.

On a shopping trip together the day before their paths diverge, the friends find a pair of thrift-shop jeans that amazingly fits and flatters each one of them perfectly, even though they are four young women of very different shapes and sizes. It seems these pants are meant for sharing and that gives Carmen, Bridget, Lena and Tibby a wonderful idea. They decide to use the pants as a way of keeping in touch during the months ahead, each one wearing them for a week to see what luck they bring before mailing them on to the next.
In this unique way, though miles apart, the four still experience the challenges and surprises of life as they always have – together – in a summer they’ll never forget.

MY STORY:
Senangnya menonton film ini, salah satu teen flick movie yang segar setelah kita dibombandir oleh Lindsay Lohan, Hillary Duff movie atau sinetron sinetron di layar kaca yang bikin kita wondering, emang remaja sekarang kaya gini yah *sambil geleng geleng kepala* and ngelihat adegan tampar tamparan di sinetron bawang merah dan bawang putih *

Diangkat dari best seller novel (yang denger denger berseri seri gituh), film ini mengangkat keseharian para remaja wanita (hehehehe) tanpa berlebihan tapi tetep seru walaupun ngga cukup dalam. Terutama bagian Lena, yang mengunjungi keluarga kakeknya di Yunani, bikin kita jadi pengen banget ke sana (bonus kalau dapet cowok kaya Kostos mah boleh banget tuh). Cerita tentang lena ini sebenarnya paling klise dibanding 3 cewek lain. Ngeliat Alexis Bledel di sini sama aja kaya ngelihat aktingnya yang cute di Gilmore Girls. Lumayan lah buat obat kangen. Penasaran juga apakah dia bisa akting gaya lain, karena menurut gue she is really damn smart girl..

Carmen - yang juga karena tuntutan ceritanya - adalah pemain yang paling menonjol. Paling kocak denger dia maki maki pakai bahasa spanish pas lagi nyoba gaun buat ke kawinan bokapnya (kayanya dia ngomong -- shitt, i loke like a whore hehehehe). Bridget nih kaya leelee sobiesky kalau dilihat sepintas dengan rambut pirangnya. Paling enak bagian ceritanya, ngegodain cowok ganteng melulu. Tibby ok lah, typikal cewek pemberontak dengan project suckumentary nya.

Satu yang annoying banget adalah gue ngga demen banget ama anak kecil yang meranin Bayle, temen baru Tybby yang sakit leukimia..pengen ngejitak banget :p

Tips, beli DVD yang ada extra nya; deleted scenes, comments dari pengarang nya and satu lagi yang kudu ditonton; "suckumentary" project nya Tibby :)
