Sleepover
2004 – Comedy – PG
The Plot:
Directed by Joe Nussbaum, Sleepover revolves around one of the hallmarks of female friendship: the all-important slumber party. In hopes of shedding their not-so-cool reputations during the summer before their freshman year, best friends Julie (Alexa Vega), Hannah (Mika Boorem), Yancy (Kalli Flynn Childress), and Farrah (Scout Taylor-Compton) decide to host the sleepover of their lives. Far from a mere pillow-fight-laden girl talk-fest, this sleepover includes an intense scavenger hunt against the most simultaneously loathed and envied young women they know: the infamous “popular” clique. Along the way, the girls manage to hijack a car, sneak into clubs, engage in a first kiss, and learn more than a little bit about themselves and their capabilities — all while evading the watchful eyes of Julie’s mother. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide
The Good:
Well, I caught this on the ABC Family channel one lazy Saturday afternoon while Russ was off roofing. For a teen scene movie, it wasn’t bad. The sleepover scavenger hunt idea if pretty cool, but as a mother myself, I wouldn’t recommend the items that these girls had on their lists.
The Bad:
A little cheesy, but then most teen movies seem that way to me now, I guess.
The Recommendation:
Probably a great movie for a pre-teen slumber party, but I wouldn’t try forcing the guys to watch it with you.
