11:08am Friday 2nd January 2009
Aimed at teenage girls, this is a sequal to the popular movie that charted the upheavals and roller-coaster romantic travails of four friends, united by the discovery of a pair of jeans, which magically fitted them all. The original cast, including Ugly Betty star America Ferrara, all feature, but sadly the magic just isn't the same.
