-
70A 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.
-
67Empowers its 14-year-olds and comes through with a Cinderella story sure to charm every girl who isn't part of the cool clique.
-
63Sleepover might appeal to 11- and 12-year-old fans of slumber parties, but it likely will leave their parents stifling a few dozen yawns.
-
A sweet, effective installment, an often bright and efficient repository for the slapstick laughs and cutesy sentiments so beloved by this age group.
-
50A lazy attempt to snare some preadolescent allowance money, Sleepover earns little more than a few bored yawns.
-
50That 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.
-
50A good-hearted 'tween comedy hampered by uneven direction and a misguided plot twist.
-
50As an up-to-the-minute representation of the specifics of the teen universe, Sleepover lacks authenticity.
-
50Think of Sleepover as a girl gang movie with training wheels.
-
50There's a dollop of charm and a deluge of formula in Sleepover.
-
Forgettable teen piffle.
-
50A wispy pubescent comedy.
-
Not overwhelmingly original or funny.
-
40Essentially sleepwalks its way through a strictly by-the-numbers premise.
-
40In 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.
-
40Devotes 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.
-
40That points to the problem at Sleepover's heart: It buys into the caste system it ostensibly flouts.
-
40A frenetic, featherweight trifle aimed at tweener femmes.
-
30The 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.
-
Nussbaum's attempt to capture the 'tween zeitgeist fails: The Spice Girls–infused soundtrack is dated, and the feel-good progressiveness forced.
-
Highly commercialized teenybopper fluff, likely to please the tweenie girls but sorely lacking in anything original or even interesting.
-
30It 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?
-
Alexa Vega, having graduated from the "Spy Kids" franchise, seems too poised to be vulnerable but too young for all her makeup.
-
25A lame and labored comedy.
-
25Viewers of that age may overlook the contrived situations and the awful acting, which consists mainly of frozen grins. Nobody else will.
-
25The 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.
-
20This is poorly shot, edited and scored, while any acting talent feels wasted.
-
0If 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.
-
0Yes, 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.
