Sisterhood of Traveling Pants
This is the first Nude Memphis Book/Movie review. I have not read this book, nor have I seen the movie. Therefore, my review is based entirely on watching the commercials and hallucinating.
Apparently this story is about 4 women who only need 1 pair of pants. I'm guessing the story goes like this: One of the women buys a pair of hot, tight jeans and struts around looking to get laid. Once she finds the right guy, or the closest guy who buys her a really strong drink, she goes to his place and kicks off the pants. If the sex is good then she doesn't need the pants anymore.
Pants go flying out the window where next girl finds them (I'm having to make a BIG guess here.)
Next girl, who is apparently wandering around in her underwear or less, puts pants on. They must be some special pants, like a good name-brand or something. Maybe she has pants, but they are cheap Wal*Mart jeans so she takes them off and tosses them.
Perhaps a straight-to-DVD sequel about the Wal*Mart pants traveling around might be next?
Anyway, next girl struts around in the pants looking to get laid, too. Eventually she finds Mr. NextToGetLucky and no longer needs the pants either. So out the window they go.
The pants must keep flying out the window to a young, single, heterosexual girl to keep the story going. Otherwise, it would just end in the middle and suck or else turn into a lesbian movie and end up on Showtime. Alternatively, the girl with the pants might bring the pants home afterwards and give them away to one of the other girls since she no longer need pants now that she has a man to ride. Who knows?
I'm sure this movie is somehow going to be on either the Lifetime Network or the Hallmark Network eventually. If it truly does turn out to be all about the sex (aka, Sex in the City clone) then Hallmark won't take it. So that leaves Lifetime. If the producers are expecting this then at least 2 of the 4 guys have to be jerks or losers and at least 1 has to beat the girl and try to rape her with a grilling fork or toilet brush. I don't know why, but these are the rules if you want to be on Lifetime.
I noticed from the photo that the 4 women all have different hair colors and one is supposed to be less attractive than the others. So I'm thinking shopping and fashion are big issues here, which would lean it more towards the Hallmark Network than Lifetime. Lots of scenes filmed featuring the girls shopping and talking, talking and shopping. A little coffee shop is bound to appear at some point, where they will get high on caffeine and laugh. For some reason the coffee shop is always a place for a big 'everybody-laughing' scene. There will, of course, be an underlying theme about the less-attractive girl not getting laid, or even worse, not getting laid by a man who is perceived as being good enough for her. She'll dump Mr. Wrong and fear that she may never find Mr. Right, but amazingly stumble upon him, most likely in the coffee shop or at the strip club where she works. No wait, I'm mixing up stories here. In the scented candle shop where she works. Or wait, she may own the coffee shop.
In the end, one of the girls is going to have a baby, one is going to get married and have a big beautiful wedding (not the one with the baby, though), and all of them are going to live happily ever after, which we are expected to believe is the result of finding the right pair of pants. It's a story about great shopping, basically.
And that's my totally blind wild guess for no reason at all except that I keep seeing the commercials and thinking this. Now that I've blogged it I can finally let it go.
