The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I found a review by Roger Ebert. He summarizes the film and says his opinion about the film. He quotes, "The usefulness of her four-story structure is that none of the stories overstays its welcome, and the four girls aren't trapped in the same dumb suburban teenage romantic plot. They live, and they learn" (Ebert. Roger). In the first paragraph, he examines a scene of the film where all the characters are together. He arises rhetorical questions on the scene moments before the plots. In the fourth paragraph, he focuses on each main character or the four actresses and talks about previous films they were in (history/background). He compares different roles the actresses have previously played. In the fifth paragraph, Ebert criticizes a film genre and makes a positive note about Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. He also tells us that the movie was based off of a novel. In the sixth through ninth paragraphs, he focuses on each character's role in the film with lots of detail and context.
