Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Python Hyena Sleepover (2004): Dir: Joe Nussbaum / Cast: Alexa Vega, Mika Boorem, Kallie Flynn Childress, Scout Taylor-Compton, Sara Paxton: Another mindless teen comedy worth sleeping through. It suggests adventure when entering that next stage of growth but it mainly plays as an encore for vulgar sexual humour where these girls get away with behaviour that perhaps they should not. Four girls about to enter high school are talked into participating in a risky scavenger hunt. The catch being that the mother of one of the girls believes that they are having a slumber party. Lame concept deteriorates into numerous situations to get a guy's boxer shorts and the crown at the dance, etc. Director Joe Nussbaum has little sense of timing and relies mainly on flashy locations. Alexa Vega of Spy Kids fame heads the cast as the girl initially challenged with this nonsense. Mika Boorem plays her best friend proving that if one person walks into stupidity then another must follow as a rule of friendship. Sara Paxton makes an appearance and it is about as bad as her mermaid film where she is basically cast to look good. Kallie Flynn Childress and Scout Taylor-Compton round out the girls and between them all they have the combined personality of a pair of dirty underwear. None of this is funny as it plays as the latest sex teen romp worth the sleeping pills to get through. Score: 2 / 10

Lucy Shanks Have you ever seen something so awful, so terrible, so frightening, that you couldn't look away? This film is akin to a fiery cataclysm or roadkill. It is literally so bad, it's almost mesmerizing.This film was on cable after the movie my husband and I had been watching, and we left the TV on. Big mistake. After about ten minutes, unable to tear our eyes from the train wreck, my husband and I wanted to start a list of the bad messages it sends to teenage girls, or, most probably, girls a lot younger. (Why not? It's never too early to learn that if you're an overweight 14-year-old girl, you'll either never have a boyfriend, or you'll jump at the chance to get one that's old enough to legally get into a bar.) That's in addition to the other list we wanted to start, of the numerous dangerous and/or illegal activities that the girls engage in, in order to win a prestigious place to eat lunch when they enter high school after the summer. (Because everyone remembers how important where THEY ate lunch was when they were in high school.) The messages of a GOOD film would be that overweight girls are just as valuable as anorexic ones, and that true friendship is more important than where you eat lunch. Instead, this movie tells young girls that dangerous, illegal hijinks and deception should be rewarded with popularity and boyfriends galore.You have been warned.

stonecoldsteele Okay, here we go. Vega's character is crushing on a guy whose apparently only attributes is being cute and riding a skateboard. Wow! Amazing! How shallow! The fat girl's only chance at a relationship comes from the chubby sound guy not the male model wannabe. So are you trying to say that it is okay for the fat, unpopular people just need to hang with each other while the cute skinny people need to be with each other? Just once I would like to see the fat, ugly unpopular kid get the supermodel girl or guy. But this is the lie that Hollywood wishes to put out there. If you don't look like you should be on the cover of a magazine then you are useless to the world. It is an okay movie if there is nothing else on or if you don't have paint drying. Watch it on cable but please don't waste money renting it.

xpeach_blossomx Hmm.......I didn't think the movie was THAT bad. Just a little complicated, that's all. I think the plot was pathetic. You have to go on this scavenger hunt just for a lunch spot? How does where you eat lunch affect your future? Is sitting in a 'popular' spot going to help you get into the best college? Or is it going to prevent you from doing drugs and screwing up your life? It DOESN'T MATTER. 10 years from then, it's not going to matter. So what if you don't have the perfect social life or whatever? It'll be useless. Period. And, how can you possibly do those tasks? Dress a mannequin in Old Navy? Won't you get arrested for that? Yeah, I think this movie is just......unrealistic. Movies that ARE realistic just make sense more. When I watched the movie, I got a headache. It was too much. But, I did think it had humor, and fried twinkies sound interesting. (I think I might try that, lol) As I said, the movie is not that bad, and it's nice for young teens =)
