The DVD was released in the United States on October 11, 2005, and features on-camera commentary by Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, and America Ferrera and deleted scenes (discussed by Kwapis). The film was partially shot in the Kamloops and Ashcroft area in British Columbia, Canada.
Carmen, Tibby, Bridget, and Lena are teenage best friends from Bethesda, Maryland, about to spend their first summer apart. Lena is visiting her grandparents in Santorini, Greece; Tibby is staying home; Bridget is going to soccer camp in Mexico; and Carmen is visiting her father in South Carolina. Shopping together, the girls find a pair of jeans that inexplicably fits them all perfectly. The girls decide to share the jeans – dubbing them the Traveling Pants – equally over the summer, before parting the next day.
