Synopsis: Julie and her friends Hannah, Farrah, and Yancy have a supercharged sleepover on their hands: they've been challenged to a scavenger hunt by "popular" girls Staci, Liz, Jenna, and Molly, and the winners get dibs on the coveted cool lunch spot once they start their freshman year in high school... Julie and her friends Hannah, Farrah, and Yancy have a supercharged sleepover on their hands: they've been challenged to a scavenger hunt by "popular" girls Staci, Liz, Jenna, and Molly, and the winners get dibs on the coveted cool lunch spot once they start their freshman year in high school at the end of the summer. The losers have to dine al fresco … adjacent to the dumpster, and far from popularity. Staci and her devious pals have built in several snags for Julie's crew. They'll have to undertake such Herculean tasks as sneaking into a "grown-up" nightclub, rearranging clothes on store mannequins at a crowded mall, stealing underwear from the most popular boy in the neighborhood, and somehow swiping the king or queen's crown at the high school dance. With the exuberance of youth and the support of true friends on their side, Julie and her pals must first escape Julie's house. This won't be easy, as Julie's mom, Gabby, has the girls swear to stay indoors while she herself goes out for a night on the town with her own girlfriends. Also, Julie's dad, Jay, is downstairs grappling with a testy faucet while her college brother, Ren, is home and underfoot. Using their wits, a little bit of luck, and a rose trellis, the girls slip out into the night. Before this adventure is over, they will have to outrun dimwitted neighborhood security, learn to drive an impossibly small electric car, create chaos at the mall, invade a posh nightclub (where Julie's mom is dancing the night away!), elude pesky skateboarding dorks, and come face to face with the boys of their dreams. All in all, not bad for the first sleepover of the summer. [More]

How many 14-year-old girls do you know who would set up a blind date with a grown-up over the Internet? (Yeah, I found this creepy too.)

Approaching Sleepover with any sort of sensitivity or intelligence is an act of extreme masochism.

There's not a scene that doesn't feel as if we've been there before.

Thanks to a few wacky set pieces, it's not quite as excruciating as it could have been.

Generation X-ers continue to feel superior about their teen films...adding intelligence & darkness can make a generic teen romp into a rewatchable touchstone. Not Sleepover.

Suffers from heavy-handedness, obvious plotting, and a basic dearth of wit.

'This is excruciating,' Stacie tells Liz, which could be said about all of this charmless comedy.

A less-than-average take on teen life that's been done better. This year, in fact.

...some may become rather drowsy at this Sleepover...yet another anemic manufactured teen flick...the cheesy sentiment only lasts as long as the aftertaste of a fried Twinkie
