With the structure of four connected but separate short stories -- the same as the original -- The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 gets to offer its fans three sequels in one.

The 2005 predecessor, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants -- a modest hit in theaters that really took off on DVD -- was a dramedy about youthful bonding, enduring friendship, female empowerment, and romantic fulfillment.
