I saw this and it was moderately OK. I think if I was a 14 year old girl that it would have been my "fave!"
If you look at the poster, or preview, for this film you see pretty much exactly what it is. They set out to make a teen feature and they made one, complete with all of the typical teen movie elements.
Are you the unpopular girl? Then it must be your dream to be with the popular guy! Are you the dreamy guy? Then it must be your dream to get with that girl that you don't really know while saying things like "who is that girl?" Hmm I think I saw a plot device like that before, hmm where did I see that where, hmmm? Oh yeah, I saw it in 16 candles UPTEEN years ago.
Of course this would not be complete without the nerd guy sidekicks trying to help out the principal females, for some reason which is not really even explained in this film. A lot of the film is like that, its about as formula as you can get without really giving any background information for the typical formula moments. Why are these nerd guys hanging around so much? Its not really explained apart from the girls being females. Why does the popular girl just enter their house, after turning down their slumber party invite, then come up with some scavenger hunt for winning a place at the fountain when the popular girl would be eating at the fountain anyway? Why does the one girl not realize why she was invited to the slumber party, when she was hovering around when the other girl wasn't going? It was so obvious.
Sleepover is one of those films that is not a bad waste of two hours if you have nothing else to watch or do, unless you are a young girl who has sleepovers. Then it would probably be a fun film for you, making you think that someday that super cute guy will see you and like you for some reason or that some nearly popular girls will invite you to their sleepover even though you are the chubby outcast.
