America Ferrera to star in ‘American Tragic’

DateMonday, November 10, 2008 at 7:33AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

“Ugly Betty” star America Ferrera’s next movie is a war drama entitled “American Tragic,” according to Latino Review.

George Roush reports the film “deals with the issues of returning soldiers from war.”

Although not much else is known at this point, Ferrera is expected to play the wife of a returning soldier who has trouble coping with his war experience.

The folks at Latino Review also got a hold of a teaser poster, which indicates Ferrera is also on board as an executive producer with Sergio Aguero.

Ferrera was last seen in “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.”

"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" web reviews

DateFriday, August 8, 2008 at 9:24PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Although I'm a guy and I'm 24, I have to admit I enjoyed Sanaa Hamri' "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" almost as much as I enjoyed its predecessor. And no, not only because of Blake Lively. Anyway, feel free to check out my review right here. Now let's quickly take a look at what other Web critics have to say about the film, which follows Lively, America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn as four friends who embark on their first year of college and the summer beyond. 

• Katey Rich at CinemaBlend: "Blessed with four talented actresses returning for the sequel, as well as a fiercely loyal fanbase, the movie didn't have to do much to satisfy its audience. If it had only tried a little harder, though, it could have been something worth recommending."

• Collider's Brian Orndorf: "It's a candy-coated drama coasting on a once perceptible charm that's taken a vacation for this installment. You'd think the sexual misadventures of four beautiful actresses would be more entertaining to watch than this presentation of storytelling lethargy."

Review: “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2”

DateFriday, August 8, 2008 at 1:47PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Seen on: August 7, 2008

The players: Director: Sanaa Hamri, Writer: Elizabeth Chandler, Cast: America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, Blake Lively, Jesse Williams

Facts of interest: Chandler also collaborated on the script for the first film.

The plot: "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" follows four best friends as their embark on the first year of college and the summer beyond.

Our quick thoughts: In 2005’s “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” four best girlfriends spent a summer apart but decided to stay connected by sharing a pair of old jeans that fit each one of them perfectly. Based on the acclaimed novel by Ann Brashares, the big-screen adaptation took four interesting characters and had them face several issues that eventually strengthened their bond and taught them a few valuable lessons about life and love.

If you've missed the girls from "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," don't worry, they'll be back with a brand-new adventure this Wednesday. Directed by Sanaa Hamri (who replaces Ken Kwapis), "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" follows Lena (Alexis Bledel), Carmen (America Ferrera), Bridget (Blake Lively) and Tibby (Amber Tamblyn) as they tell each other all about their experiences during the first year of college and the following summer.

Warner Bros. recently released 11 clips from the flick, and you can check out all of them just below. Although I haven't read Ann Brashares' series of books, I really enjoyed the first film and certainly hope the filmmaker bring back the same interesting characters. We'll know on Wednesday.
