I was bored one night and decided to go ahead and see what Sleepover was, it was on TV, figured it might not be so bad. Well, while it did live up to my expectations, I have to say for teens, this movie wasn't so bad. First off, the first time I saw Steve Carrel on the screen, I was like "Is that Steve... no, it can't be. Why would he be in a movie like this?", and it was him. But I guess we all have to start somewhere. He was an interesting person in the cast, but it's all good. Even though I didn't really like the film, it was worth the watch, I thought it was a good idea for the "tweens" as most people are calling this genre. I suppose who doesn't dream of a sleepover like this one? I mean it had everything, the girls had a date with their teacher(sounds sick, I know), messed with authority and got away with it, and got the guys.
Julie Corky is throwing a big sleepover for her friends, it's the summer before they enter high school, so they are trying to make a new name for themselves as the click crowd. After a bad night, the click leader, Staci wants to have fun and challenges Julie and her friends to a scavenger hunt where they have to do certain things throughout the night and then whoever wins will get the hot spot in high school and have lunch next to the fountain. The girls are in for one wild night and end up with the greater reward: friendships that will last a lifetime.
I have to admit that Sleepover has a few cute laughs, I wouldn't deny that some moments are funny. While the movie is still very overly cheesy, it's all good for the audience it was aimed at. It was just so cute how Julie found her "true love" in the movie, lol, I'm sure most teens find their true loves like that in real life. So other than that unrealistic situation, this was just like a J-14 magazine, I feel so preppy and bubbly, I have to watch a serious movie now I think. For the teens, this is the perfect movie for them, for adults, well, begin to feel old, because if this is the way kids act now a days, then I'm glad I'm done with them.
5/10
