Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Yeah so I am a movie/TV fanatic and watch tons of every­thing. Even crappy chic flic movies when there is noth­ing else to watch.

So this movie was sit­ting in my dad’s folder of ipod videos that he rips for my brother and sis­ter. I watched every­thing else and this was all that was left, so I watched. And holy crap what the garbage are kids being fed today?! Let us see what is being shown as “normal”:

Girl #1: Hot blonde soc­cer player. 17 years old. Has sex with man who is old enough to legally drink. Can you say “statutory”?

Girl #2: That cute girl off of Gilmore Girls. 17 years old. Mak­ing out and being in a seri­ous rela­tion­ship with a man who is at least a sec­ond year col­lege stu­dent. Again, can you say “statutory”?

Girl #3: Pathetic attempt at a punk/depressed/gothic girl. 17 years old. Doesn’t even have a learner’s per­mit to drive. Becomes best friends with some 12 year old with leukemia.

Girl #4: Fat Puerto Rican. 17 years old. Blows up on fam­ily and throws a rock at a window.

What the *$#@ is wrong with these peo­ple? Seri­ously. This reminds me of that stu­pid Where the Heart Is book/movie. Thats the one about the Wal-Mart baby. Yeah lets teach our kids that they can get knocked up, go steal from a busi­ness, and then get their life fixed for free at the expense of oth­ers. Total garbage. We got Wal-Mart babies and mag­i­cal pants and thats our qual­ity movies apparantly.

Enough rant­ing though. Should prob­a­bly go to bed. Its like 1:40am and I am help­ing some peo­ple with some yard work or some­thing at 9:00am.

Holy crap. Got to the dra­matic giv­ing of the pants to the dying leukemia patient part of the movie. Are you freak­ing seri­ous? Girl #3 is telling leukemia girl to let the mag­i­cal pants heal her of her dis­ease. If you want a GOOD movie with a girl dying of leukemia, try Walk to Remem­ber. At least that one has Mandy Moore in it.
