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, Rovi

    Sleepover is not the greatest chick flick of all time, but holds the style together with ease, making this one of my favourites. It is very hard for a chick flick to impress me, and this one accomplished that! I really enjoyed Sleepover!

    This was cute and funny.

    The worst teenage movie I've already watched so far... The cast shows a terrible acting, the directing style is disturbing and annoying, and yet I don't have a lot of fun while watching it... One of the factor is there are no big teenage stars starred in this movie, that's the re... read moreason why this movie sucks... I don't blame the story, because I don't expect a better story from a teenage movie besides a bunch of girls having fun and go to the prom... The big question is, how can Steve Carrell starred in this movie???

    My choice of free films on TV has deteriorated since I dropped Movie Central. But I lasted all the way through this teeny bopper film where the good guys (girls actually) win out and what's-her-name gets her guy.

    Just another stupid teen flick.

    Okay, this was better than I expected. But the bar was low, like really low. This had the making of a 1/2 star movie, but by the end, I bumped it up to a 2 1/2 star.

    Popcorn bag award goes to Alexa Vega of "Spy Kids" fame. Good job playing the lead role.

    My dad had this because it was for a friend's daughter (I guess it was a daughter). It was sitting there and I was really, really bored and so watched the entire thing. It was extremely pathetic and it's movies like this that make people grow up into the idiotic teenagers that ar... read moree in the world today. I don't remember much of it, but I do remember the fat loner 14 year old girl ends up with this fat loner 30 year old guy with a beard. Which is just really lame.

    This was a movie I got and watched with friends when I was drunk. It was the funniest movie ever. I probably wouldn't watch it again.

Nussbaum's attempt to capture the 'tween zeitgeist fails: The Spice Girls-infused soundtrack is dated, and the feel-good progressiveness forced. Full Review

A terrible film. Full Review

Not overwhelmingly original or funny. Full Review

Just when the big screen could use an injection of frothy, giggly girl power -- all in the name of a covert feminist message, of course -- Sleepover squanders that promise with a blah story and even b... Full Review

Fairly standard tween-oriented fare. Full Review

Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle

A good-hearted 'tween comedy hampered by uneven direction and a misguided plot twist. Full Review

If the pre-adolescents in your life don't have anything better to do than watch this movie, maybe the time has come to teach them hopscotch. Full Review

There's little in the movie to like, either for tween girls or the unlucky parents who accompany them. Full Review

If ever a movie could be charged with imperiling the morals of a minor, it's probably Sleepover.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

A lazy attempt to snare some preadolescent allowance money, Sleepover earns little more than a few bored yawns. Full Review
