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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
A lazy attempt to snare some preadolescent allowance money, Sleepover earns little more than a few bored yawns.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Stephen Cole
Think of Sleepover as a girl gang movie with training wheels.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach
There's a dollop of charm and a deluge of formula in Sleepover.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Carla Meyer
A good-hearted 'tween comedy hampered by uneven direction and a misguided plot twist.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
As an up-to-the-minute representation of the specifics of the teen universe, Sleepover lacks authenticity.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen
Essentially sleepwalks its way through a strictly by-the-numbers premise.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Kris Wilton
Nussbaum's attempt to capture the 'tween zeitgeist fails: The Spice Girlsinfused soundtrack is dated, and the feel-good progressiveness forced.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Melissa Levine
Highly commercialized teenybopper fluff, likely to please the tweenie girls but sorely lacking in anything original or even interesting.
Read Full Review >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?
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Empire Anna Smith
This is poorly shot, edited and scored, while any acting talent feels wasted.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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:
