In the summer before starting high school, Julie (Alexa Vega) and her best friends, Hannah (Mika Boorem), Yancy (Kallie Flynn Childress) and Farrah (Scout Taylor-Compton), have a slumber party. They decide they're going to use the night to shed their nerdy reputations, and they end up in a scavenger hunt against a group of popular girls. To win, Julie and her friends have to steal a car and a boy's underpants and sneak into a nightclub, all without Julie's mom (Jane Lynch) finding out.

Critics Consensus

'Tween girls will enjoy this sugar coated fluff, but others will find Sleepover a snooze.

David Germain

Associated Press

Sleepover objectifies early teenage girls in a manner that's disagreeable and indelicate at best, cheap and vulgar at worst.

Not for younger kids, despite its PG rating.

Rated: 1/5

Kris Wilton

Village Voice

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

The List

Little more than a hurried photocopy of the far superior Lindsay Lohan vehicle Mean Girls.

Rated: 1/5

Film Frenzy

Utterly harmless but also utterly forgettable, Sleepover is only fascinating when it comes to poring over its cast list years down the road: Steve Carell, Brie Larson, and more.

Rated: 2/4

Pretty sure a team of people watched every teen, tween, coming of age, 20-something and rom com movie, then wrote down every cliche and turned them into a movie with a cheesy plot and average acting... then called it 'sleepover'. 🤦‍♀️

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

Too edgy for kids and too juvenile for teens, Sleepover will appeal to no one en route to a forgettable experience.

I mean it wasnt terrible but I find the age gaps a little concerning? I diddnt grow up in america so I dont know the school system but as a 15 year old girl myself I think it's kinda weird because that dude looks alot older? Also what's with the name Yancy? The redhead was literally nowhere to be seen half the time and it's so unrealistic like theres no way the dad was oblivious to the whole situation, also how did they just climb into those boxes like surely they would've shut it from the outside not just let it swing open anytime, I think I'm overthinking this but still, maybe I'm being to judgemental and it's just a alright film about being a tween 🤷‍♀️, I will say I cried at the end because I had to move across the country away from my bestfriend not to long ago so I know what it's like and it's not easy.
