Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

A skillfully made teen comedy with such an endearing sensibility that it's fun even for those old enough to be the grandparents of its stars.

67

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker

Empowers its 14-year-olds and comes through with a Cinderella story sure to charm every girl who isn't part of the cool clique.

USA Today Staff (Not Credited)

Sleepover might appeal to 11- and 12-year-old fans of slumber parties, but it likely will leave their parents stifling a few dozen yawns.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

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

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Stephen Cole

Think of Sleepover as a girl gang movie with training wheels.

Portland Oregonian M. E. Russell

Forgettable teen piffle.

Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach

There's a dollop of charm and a deluge of formula in Sleepover.

San Francisco Chronicle Carla Meyer

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

50

Boston Globe Wesley Morris

As an up-to-the-minute representation of the specifics of the teen universe, Sleepover lacks authenticity.

50

Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey

That a detente between the cliques is unthinkable, that they could never eat at the same table, is one of many assumptions that makes Sleepover such a downer.

Chicago Tribune Sid Smith

A sweet, effective installment, an often bright and efficient repository for the slapstick laughs and cutesy sentiments so beloved by this age group.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

A wispy pubescent comedy.

Washington Post Sara Gebhardt

Not overwhelmingly original or funny.

40

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson

Devotes too much time to a shrill, unfunny security guard who's pursuing the girls, but he does stage some zippy sequences, from the red-clad Julie's skateboard dash home to witty bits involving an energy-depleted electric car.

Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones

In terms of a pre-teen instructional, Sleepover offers throughout a laudable emphasis on the importance of friendship, but parents may rightfully flinch at a protagonist who is ultimately rewarded for breaking all the rules.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Keith Phipps

That points to the problem at Sleepover's heart: It buys into the caste system it ostensibly flouts.

The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen

Essentially sleepwalks its way through a strictly by-the-numbers premise.

Variety Joe Leydon

A frenetic, featherweight trifle aimed at tweener femmes.

Read Full Review >
30

TV Guide Angel Cohn

The only memorable moments in the entire film come courtesy of three supporting characters, dopey skateboarders (Evan Peters, Shane Hunter, Hunter Parrish) who blindly follow Julie around.

30

Village Voice Kris Wilton

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

30

Chicago Reader Andrea Gronvall

Alexa Vega, having graduated from the "Spy Kids" franchise, seems too poised to be vulnerable but too young for all her makeup.

30

Dallas Observer Melissa Levine

Highly commercialized teenybopper fluff, likely to please the tweenie girls but sorely lacking in anything original or even interesting.

Washington Post Ann Hornaday

It wants us to believe that being popular and getting the cutest guy in school really is the key to happiness. Like, how totally last century is that?

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

A lame and labored comedy.

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt

Viewers of that age may overlook the contrived situations and the awful acting, which consists mainly of frozen grins. Nobody else will.

Miami Herald Connie Ogle

The film is probably not evil incarnate, but it's so irritating you wish it -- and just about everyone in it -- would just shut up and get out of your room.

Empire Anna Smith

This is poorly shot, edited and scored, while any acting talent feels wasted.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

If ever a movie could be charged with imperiling the morals of a minor, it's probably Sleepover, a sleazy, PG-rated sex comedy that's apparently aimed at 8- to 10-year-old girls.

Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown

Yes, it's all a harmless lark. Which is why the only thing that could redeem this sour patch of candy-coated crud would be a final shot of Earth exploding.

Hugh O. gave it a0:
this movie is the most redundant peice of crap i have ever seen, what a waste of space. stuff just happened for no reason, so much for sublty in film craft. also what kind moral does a movie posses when its central message is that all that matters in high school is how popular you are. shallow, supperficail, prime example of the shit america spits our year after year, when great australian movies like littlefish can barley even get funding.

Morgan C. gave it a7:

Nick G. gave it a 0:
