I think part of why Carmen was written that way with being apologetic was to go away from the “angry latina” stereotype that was very common at the time. She does get very angry at certain times for very valid reasons but it isn’t part of her personality.
The best thing about this film is the actors are actually best friends and have been since filming this. That warms my heart
True true 😊 - Maria
I was going to say the same thing!❤
Yessss I think they had a recent reunion celebrating Carmen’s Oscar nominations or at least there’s a recent photo going around of them together 😊 glad to know that they are all friends
Yes! It’s so sweet. I remember crying at the end scene because I just loved the characters friendships.
@@samandmariachannel i really enjoyed you and marias thoughts and reactions on this movie i agree with you and Maria all the way you and Maria are awesome ❤❤
what makes me laugh is that alexis bledel (lena’s actress) is also latina alongside america ferrera but because she’s white passing she always plays a character with a different heritage than her own. i remember finding out that her family is from mexico and spanish is her first language and it blew my mind
Yeah I remember reading about the scene in Gilmore Girls where she’s supposed to be trying to speak Spanish to her grandparents maid and having to pretend to be bad at it when it’s her native language 😂
Actually she is part ARGENTINIAN and part AMERICAN. Her dad from Argentina and her mom is from USA (but raised in Arizona and Mexico). She is not white passing, she is white. (Anywhere in South America you can find white people, and by that I don’t mean white passing, but people whose ancestry is predominantly or 100% white).
She is not white passing... she is white.
Latina but white
In the extras on the DVD of this film, the actresses reveal that they actually wore the same pants, something they thought would not be possible because they are not the same height or size. So it was clearly magic pants.
Really? 😳 Woow! - Maria
America Ferrera was about to make me cry in 2005 watching this and in 2023 watching Barbie. Love her so much
Carmen’s dad is so shitty for that. Carmen was expecting to spend a summer (her first since he left?) and THAT is how he tells her?!
He's not handling things well or even adequate at this point, for sure - Maria
I can’t believe they were just having dinner and not out there worried and looking for her! Screw that whole family honestly.
Yeah, biggest gripe is how she was treated and how little the rest of the family cared. And she STILL went to the wedding!
Literally! She had the right to react the way she did
When I first watched this movie, I related with Carmen when it came to her dad; my parents had also divorced when I was young and my dad hadn't been all that present once he met my ex-stepmom. And I felt all the anger and betrayal that Carmen felt but also the guilt for being angry at him because he was my dad. The scene where she calls him up to tell him how she feels STILL makes me cry, all these years later because of the catharsis it is. America Ferrera really knocked it out of the park.
Yeah, the Carmen storyline is why I could never watch this as a kid. Way too personal.
I was in the EXACT situation later in life, but I went through with it. I was a bridesmaid. I had a full dissociative episode during the wedding. I had a panic attack afterward while crossing the street and almost got hit by a tram. The next day I ran away to another country. After a couple days away, calming down, I came back and tried to talk to my dad. He still doesn’t quite understand how it felt. How he made me feel. Years later now, I’ve made peace with it. I no longer feel guilt for being mad at him. I don’t really need him anymore, though it still hurts to think about.
Fun Fact: The girls we’re on a video call as America Ferrera’s name was being mentioned in the Academy Award nominations
"Sunshine twins on uppers" is way better than "Stepford wives", you can't change my mind.
If you were riding side saddle, there is a specific saddle for it. It has a specific shaped horn that you put your leg across that helps you stay in place.
Thanks for the info! - Sam
Parenting tip for Carmen's dad: don't move or move in with a new partner without telling your kid...
PLEASE watch the sequel! I love these girls and their story so much. It's awesome getting to see others experience it, too.
Anyone else feel like of all the the things being adapted into tv shows this story would actually be really suited to it? Not that the movie doesnt do a good job of presenting the 4 girls equally but a show would mean more chance to develope and dive into them all.
For sure, there’s plenty of story here 👍😊 - Sam
Fun fact: Blake Lively’s dad in the film, is her father in real life. I believe he passed away a few years ago though.
Carmen’s my favorite, that rock at the window was satisfying and I honestly don’t remember that part but good on her cause they have the money to fix it up anyway. And he expects her to get along with a family that doesn’t even gaf about her, much less him smfh
I really hope you guys do the sequel, you get to learn more about Bridget's mom and dad
I saw Carmens dad (Bradley Whitford) in Billy Madison as Eric. The guy who wanted to take over the company, and tried to sabotage Billy. Also in, Cabin In the Woods, doing the sacrifices to the ancient ones 😂. He was the guy who REALLY wanted to see the Merman.. and well.. he did 😂. Great reaction, I LOVED this movie as a kid and havent seen it in forever.
he was also Josh Lyman on The West Wing :)
Oh yeah, Billy Madison is where I know him from 😊
Thanks so much! - Sam
He's in Adventures in Babysitting as well, that was the first movie I remember seeing him in.
He also played the dad in a film called Little Manhattan alongside Josh Hutcherson.
Boik difference #3: Kostas was a close family friend that they kept pushing on her, she went swimming in a lake, he got caught watching her, she flipped out, and they shunned him for it.
It only got resolved because she realized the lake was actually a spot HE frequented, and SHE was the one intruding.
I loved this movie and the books they’re based on so much that they got me through 7th grade. The summer I was 12 I watched this movie practically everyday, it's an ode to female friendship and I love that the actresses have remained good friends. All that being said, I love so many things about this story but there are fun reminders that it was written in the 2000s. I'm always wishing we could talk about people who die by suicide in a kinder way, I'm glad they didn't call Bridget's mom selfish (I've seen that in media a lot unfortunately) but I don't love the implication that she was weak. It's spelled out a little more in later books that Bridget's mom was bipolar and what that was like for Bridget growing up. And it doesn't help that her father is so emotionally limited. Basically, she needs therapy and it shows.
Sobbing for girlhood now. My loved ones and I have such fond memories of this movie. Another fun reaction!
That's great! Thanks so much! 😄 - Maria
I’m looking forward to this one. This movie was so fun and also touching.,
Agreed! I'm looking forward to the 2nd one now - Maria
Thanks, I was really impressed with this movie 😊 - Sam
In the companion book, it's revealed Bailey wrote this whole letter of recommendation for Brian to get into this prestigious gaming program or something like that.
I absolutely loved this commentary, ty for introducing me to such an amazing film!
I highly suggest "Don't tell mom the babysitter's dead" for some teen drama and family issues, with a wholesome outcome. I recently saw it and its already one of my favourites
Fantastic suggestion!! Me and my mom still say “I’m right on top of that rose!” As a response to any task request
"Dishes are done, man!" 😂
@@Madd_u_mad lmao I love that! my family keeps saying "compliance!" to eachother bc of 'flight of the navigator'
Thank you so much! Glad you liked the movie choice ✌️
We currently have a somewhat long list of videos planned out, but we can maybe look into it in the future 😊 - Sam
I have been best friends with 2 of my friends for nearly 25 years. The "stay on the phone with me until you fall asleep" just made me sob. Never leave a fellow soldier behind!
Loved how both of you were so insenced on Carmen's behalf. 💙
I would like to recommend The Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood, and Now and Then. Both great stories of friend groups growing up.
Rewatching this movie again, I think Lydia honestly did not like Carmen. Lydia was planning out the entire wedding and she never thought of asking Carmen's dad to invite Carmen? When Carmen had plans to play tennis with her dad, Lydia happened to ask Carmen's dad to go see Paul, and to rub salt in the wound, Lydia announces that the venue had to cancel due to some ludicrous excuse just to steal Carmen's dad away for the day to figure things out. More than anything, she probably cancelled the booking and always had plans to have the wedding at their house. The biggest evidence is when Carmen went to her dress fitting and stormed off, Lydia probably lied to Carmen's dad about Carmen just going out on the town so her dad wouldn't worry. Carmen's dad obviously is just as at fault, but Lydia is pulled the strings with how microaggressive she acted towards Carmen. Lydia tried to charm Carmen, but as soon as Carmen didn't get with the program, Lydia decided to fuck with Carmen to show her she's not welcome and that her dad has a new family. In essence, fuck Lydia.
You made half that stuff up though. I was surprised when my ex husband got remarried that he didn't even bother to tell us. He also got married at his home in the backyard and didn't invite his own daughter to his wedding. So, let's not automatically demonize the woman when the dad is known for running and not taking any action on his own. He should also be putting Lydia in her place for disrespecting his kid. The fact he didn't tell her about Lydia at all, the new family, or the fact they had a Hispanic housekeeper is wild.
There was no micragressions even Tibby addressed her situation. Carmen was insecure and hurt. That woman want being mean to her or racist.
@@sharpaycutie2 what? can you explain you're point better she doesn't or she does want to be mean
🎶 I’m juuuust Dave! And I’m wearing Ken’s Awesome Shades! I’m the man who just came in …..and toooook Keeeen’s plaaaaace… 🎶
Is that from the Barbie movie? - Sam
@samandmariachannel I think it's a parody of the "I'm Just Ken" song from the Barbie movie
I WAITED YEARS FOR THIS! i hope you can react to the second soon as well 😌🙌🏼💝
The second is the best imo!!
Glad we can deliver 😎 Hope you enjoy it! 😊 We really want to, so hopefully - Maria
Love that you guys are reacting to this! It’s been so long since I watched it but I used to binge it so often anytime it came on TV… a real throwback
Thanks! We really enjoyed this one 😊 - Sam
Carmen's dad is played by Bradley Whitford. He"s been is quite a few a things. My favorite one he is in is "Adventures in Babysitting" 🙂You should check that one out!
Thanks so much 😊 I know his face for sure but wanted to wait till someone told me his name in the comments - Sam
Yes! An amazing movie.
I love this movie ❤️❤️ it’s one of those chick flicks that keeps you on your toes and I love all the actresses performances. Each girls story was unique and heartbreaking and taught you special lessons. Carman’s story is what got to me the most especially the problems going on with her Dad having a new family and phone call with him truly got to me 😢😢 but least they made up there relationship at the end ❤️ and Bailey passing away got to me too poor Tibby 😔. Love both of yours commentary to this and I can’t wait for next movie you do together 😊😁😃❤️❤️
It’s a great movie, we both loved it!
Thanks so much for the feedback 😊 - Sam
YES YES YESSSS AMAZING, ICONIC MOVIE! I promised to wait to watch this until my spouse gets home, dang ittttttt. So I'll be back in a few hours but I can't wait! Much love to Sam & Maria,, and fellow Budz!! I hope you know this means you gotta do the second one too! It's equally just amazing :)
Thanks Jordan 😁 hope you guys enjoyed it when they got home!
We do hope to do the second one as well 👍❤️ - Sam
Carmen is Puerto Rican. I commented this before the dress scene 😅🥰
Cool beans. Thanks 😊 - Sam
I was thinking yesterday how cool would be a reaction to this film from you two! Cant wait❤
Oh really? Nice! 😄- Maria
marias hair looks soooo good
Thank you 😊✨ - Maria
So great being able to revisit this movie. I really liked it as a kid, but as an adult, the messages hit harder. This is one of my favorite reactions. Really hope you both are able to do the sequel soon.
16:53 the instant "no"😂😂SAME
There's a very big rumor that there's going to be a 3rd movie, based on Sisters Everlasting.
If it's true, get ready to cry.
Well that was a trip down nostalgia lane. I remember reading the books and watching these movies, and all I wanted was a group of friends like that. I guess I still do. And to go to Greece. I think this was the first movie I watched where I saw Greece as it is now and not just pictures of the Parthenon in my history books. I also remember being very angry about how Carmen was being treated too. I related to her the most because she was a writer and her parents were divorced like mine except it was my mom who left. (Added layer, while I love my father who raised me, he is not my biological father. So I could also relate to the feeling of having a "father" who was not very interested in being part of my life).
this is my faaaav !! i’m hoping for the sequel 🤞🏽
What I took away from the whole, "Maria can wash your sheets thing", is that they have a Latin American maid doing their chores. The way Carmen and Maria exchange looks is heavy because it shows the obvious classism that her dad's new family upholds. I think she offers to do her own sheets and "people wash their sheets all the time", was a backhanded statement, expressing passive distaste. Later, on the phone to her dad, she says the line, "are you ashamed of me? Are you embarrassed?" I think that's why it was a weird transaction between Carmen and Lydia. Carmen is realising she's seen as lesser. :(
19:01 You cant't see it here but as soon as Kostas name is mentioned, the lady in the corner starts to unravel her crocheting 😂
I remembered almost nothing about this movie before this video, then I saw the actresses and at least some of it came back. Not surprising really as I believe I only saw this the once (in theatres) though I did listen to the soundtrack regularly. It was good to be reminded what the film was about/who was in it and to get your thoughts. Thank you for doing this one.
No worries, we’re glad you enjoyed it 😁 - Sam
I loved the books and eventually the movies when they finally came out! I named my first dog Bailey in honor of the first book!
Oh, that's so sweet! 😊 - Maria
I never watched the movies, just read three of the books. I don't remember everything clearly, but I am pretty sure Kostas was not a college student, and Lena's storyline was not Romeo and Juliette dupe. In fact, I think her family was pretty chill with him until a misunderstanding caused a brief fued.
Book difference #5: Bridget's mom died when Bridget was 11, not older like in here
I have always loved this movie and as someone with a difficult relationship with my father, Carmen's story and the phone call where she finally is able to tell him how she feels, always makes me cry. This is such a great coming of age movie and one of my absolute favorites.
And as a sidenote, Maria looked so gorgeous in this video. Her top and lipstick were stunning! 🥰
You two are such a beautiful and lovely couple! Love your reactions. I'm glad you watched this movie, it's one of my all time favorites! It's so beautiful and moving. Can't wait until you watch the 2nd one. It would be so cool if you guys watched the biopic Selena! I don't see many reacting to that one.
Thank you so much! That’s very nice of you to say 😊
Glad you enjoyed our video!
We have a pretty long list of movies already planned, but I would like to take a look at that when we can 😊 - Sam
Not that you asked but Paul the stepmoms (Carmen) son was in the first cheetah girls movie he was Galleria’s love interest
I can't belive I didn't realise that. I used to watch Cheetah Girls religiously
Thank you! He looked familiar to me, but I am absolutely horrible at recalling where I know people from.
I really hope you guys watch the 2nd film, maybe you can make one of those double feature ones if you have the 2 videos?
I find this movie pretty relatable for various reasons and I love the characters.
I always found Bailey's story heartbreaking.
My sister was 16 when she diagnosed with cancer (she's okay now) and we watched this movie together soon after. Definitely balling our eyes out at that but this is one of the few movies that shows cancer that my sister likes. Usually movies just have ill characters defined only by the cancer and they always die. But here at least Bailey was complex and she had her own little arc.
omg yees I can't wait for this!!! I hope you do more rom-coms!
Thank you so much! We definitely have plans for at least a few rom coms soon 😊 next is 17 again tho and then we want to check out Wish - Sam
yaay! Hope you enjoy our video 😊 We'd really like to as we both like the genre 😋 - Maria
yay that sounds amazing!@@themoviebudz1988
yay :D@@samandmariachannel
I just remembered this movie existed last week and re-watched it. It made me cry from the nostalgia, I used to have it on DVD and watched it every day during some hard times, and really made me feel better. I love it so much
Awesome vid guys :) I can’t believe how much more I understand and relate to this film now compared to when I was a kid
Thank you! 😊 - Sam
I remember seeing this when it was new and I remember finding it enjoyable because it's about relationships and growth.
Yes! Sidesaddle is b.s. It is so bad for the back because your spine is literally twisted. Also just loved you two's commentary (it's funny and insightful!). I was in grade school when this originally released and had 3 really good friends at the time. We did our own version of the pants that summer as the 'sisterhood of the traveling charm bracelet' with a charm representing each of us. Although time's passed and we're no longer in each other's day to day, we're still very close and watching this movie 'alongside' you two reminded me of how special those relationships are, so a big 'thanks!' from me 😊 Wishing you both well!
Just found this! Thanks for your commentary it was awesome!!!! I loved this movie and the book series as a teen.
Yaay! Welcome 😊
Thanks so much for your feedback. Wonderful to hear that you enjoyed it ✨
I’m enjoying the first book now - Maria
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much! 😊 - Maria
I've been watching your reaction for some time now, and I have to comment on this one! 😅
When I was a kid/teen, I had two...obsessions/fangirling stuff. Harry Potter AND The Brotherhood of Traveling Pants (Or “Quatre filles & un jean” in French 🙃)! I have read the books so many times. I was 11 when the first book came out, and 22 for the last one (which broke me into pieces), so it grew on me.
I'm French and the film was really difficult to find here (I found it in a way that wasn't... legal, probably the first infraction of my life 🤣); and even though the casting is amazing and some parts of the story are really brilliantly adapted, I was so angry with the Lena's story ! Totally different from the one in the book. In the book, Kostas's family and Lena's family are very close and push them towards each other... I don't know why they decided to do something like Romeo and Juliet, but... Okay 🤔 I think that's the reason why the story feels a little flat towards the end: it wasn't supposed to happen this way.
I hope you watch the 2nd movie soon, I don't really remember it except it's not an adaptation of ONE book, but they chose a story life of different book for each character and mixed it up 😅
Anyway, loved your commentary (as always), and... now, I want to re-read the book (and hope it's not too bad with an adult eye, but the Bridget&Eric's story will be a struggle, not gonna lie.)
Thanks so much! Glad we could cover one of the things you love so much 😊 - Sam
Oh thank goodness someone mentioned the weirdly altered Lena storyline. I think the reason it was probably changed to a more Romeo and Juliet Ark was that no one thought non-book fans would be able to understand her reticence and fear being the only thing that kept her away from this boy. Which is a bit of a slap in the face to a certain subset of introvert, interestingly the Edition that is made to Carmen's seemingly OneNote storyline in the sequel doesn't bother me nearly as much. That's possibly because they are melting three books into one movie with that one, so in that instance it was more of we're taking a main storyline from book 4 with a dash of book 3, where is this was just trying to have a book one ending when they had made so much of the build-up be the movies additional drama
This is one of my faves and i have it on dvd and i liked the second one as well
Great review! This movie (and book) was such a huge part of my teenage life. I had forgotten how much it meant to me. I never thought a reaction vid would ever touch me so much! Thank you, thank you!
Thanks, we’re glad you enjoyed it! - Sam
I watched this a handful of times when I was younger, but I remember finding the Bridget character and storyline kinda annoying even though I understand her story so I eventually lost interest. I did watch the sequel, but I don't remember it as well as the first film. No spoilers. I liked the second film, but not as much as the first one. I remember it feeling rushed and having a couple dumb and/or problematic moments. I do hope this video is popular enough for you to watch the sequel because I think you will also find it enjoyable.
I would love for you guys to watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2!
We'd like to do it. Hopefully, sooner rather than later. For the moment, though, we have like 14 movies more or less lined up - Maria
Book difference #2: them trying on the pants didn't happen in the store. One of them bought the pants and they tried them on in that girl's room.
Book difference #1 (in the order i notice them) : Lena was the first one born.
This movie is so good!!! Thanks for reacting to it. I think the movies are based on books 🤔 Hence why many of the characters are complex and written well. I think many of us can relate to the girls in some way.
Great video guys. I forgot how good this movie and caught myself crying just from watch this video lol. Such a heartfelt movie.
Eric is miscast. He's part Mexican in the books!
@samandmariachannel : The actor who plays Carmen's dad is Bradley Whitford !! . PS : Useless information but the actor who plays Bridget dad, is her dad in real life !! .
9:26 never did side saddle but its really uncomfortable to have legs outside the strips so i imagine i wouldnt be comfortable doing side saddle.
I read the book when I was in elementary school and remember loving it, but I want to reread it now because I never watched the movie so I don't know if I love both the movie and book or not.
I would love to see you guys watch the sequel!!
Watching this I think you guys might want to watch Now and Then 😊
23:59 Tennis Ball in the Face!
caught half of the reaction earlier during the livestream and came back to finish the rest! seriously love this series, i remember reading some of the books as a kid and the movies hold a special place in my memories. loved y'all's reaction and break down of the characters. i feel like since i saw the movies so young it's easy to cement my feelings towards certain actions they take to how i felt about them at the time i first saw the movie, and your thoughts help me to look at certain things from a different perspective and open my view of the how and why (i hope that makes sense?! 😂).
Great video!
Bridget’s mom was bipolar
Omg I'm so excited!!!!
Love this❤
Please watch Little Manhattan, its a really cute and funny movie and i feel like people kinda forgot about it
I'd love to, it does look cute, and I like Josh. We have a list of movies for the next couple of months, so not anytime soon, but I hope we can in the future - Maria
Side saddle is a skill fr!
Have you seen the one before this that it was kinda based on? The ya ya sisterhood? One of the best movies ever. I do like this movie thank you for doing the reaction to it. I hadn’t seen it since I was young and missed so much.
Haven’t seen that one, so it’s a consideration, but our current list of movies we have planned is pretty long so I can’t say if we’ll get to it soon.
Thanks so much for the feedback and suggestion 😊 - Sam
@@samandmariachannel absolutely I find this one charming but YAYa is one of my favorite movies of all time
I love this moviiiiiieeee!!!!
I do too now. It’s really smart 😊 - Sam
You should watch the sequel!
There is more of Brian in the second movie! He dates Tibby 😊 the second one is just as great as the first in my opinion
Spoilers! 😁 I didn't tell him that so he experiences it when we watch the second movie. Please refrain from revealing anything else, even if you think it's small.
Edit: I think I remember the second one a bit more, but we'll see. Def think it's a good one too 😊 - Maria
The second one is my favorite but maybe because I've seen it more I had it on DVD lol 😂😂😂 I hope y'all watch it!! ❤️❤️
Each of her four first books are authored by each character. I’d like them to do the final book the fifth book make it into a movie. It be prefect the characters are the right age it bring closer to the series of movies. I’d just like to see it. All the actors haven’t gotten along all these years but now that they are I’d like to see a final movie.
Ps I really enjoyed watching this brought back a lot of memories.
Lol for a coach he’s pretty fucking quiet like what else does she see in him?? Definitely her grief talking and he didn’t even give her encouraging words, just seems uncomfortable lmao weird storyline for sure
Had 4 best friends back in the day, we all found one top we all fit in! All except one didn’t wanna share… like the traveling pants 😔 only 3 of us are still friends lol 😝
Please react to the second one!! 😊😊
Can't wait!
Here we go! 😄 - Maria
PLEASE WATCH THE SECOND ONEEEEE
You guys should react to the ballad of songbirds and snakes!
I understand Carmen being hurt and upset with the situation and rightfully so but her speaking Spanish and acting rude to her dad's fiance and kids when they didn't really do anything to her purposefully was not right either. You lash out at the person you are truly made at, your dad. For someone who was a writer, she had a hard time communicating her actual feelings. I do want to reiterate she has EVERY right to be upset, especially how she found out about them, but it's the way she handled it that didnt't help either lol.
You're right in that Carmen shouldn't have lashed out at Lydia and her kids, but you have to remember that Carmen is only 15-16. Nobody makes the best decisions at that age, especially with something so emotionally charged as this situation, and writer or not its hard to communicate your feelings when youre a teenager. It was probably easier for Carmen to take it out on them because to her, they were strangers that were thrust into her life suddenly, whereas she loved her dad and it's hard for her to face that he was the one at fault for throwing this on her and expecting her to react well.
I wonder if you would consider watching Jenny's Wedding? That has Alex Bledel in it and is very good :3
You should react to the second movie
There are special saddles for side saddle, but the reason they exist is cause it looks indecent for women to ride the same way as men. so yes. it's bullshit.
Gotcha. Thanks for the info 😊 - Sam
Well it is based on rhe book so of course it's well written.
Not all books are well-written and book adaptations are very hard to do in a lot of cases, so it’s not a given that a movie based on a book will be well-written - Maria
please watch sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 please please please
