Sleepover
6/10
Today I watched this movie called Sleepover with B&H in their successful mission to make me watch anything featuring Evan Peters. They made no mention of him being in this movie until he was sprung on me and I lost my mind. He is a kid that loves showing people a photo of him in a coma. But this is not about him. This is about a group of young girls getting away with vandalism, grand theft auto, and staying out past curfew. It is the last day of the 8th grade and Julie wants to have a sleepover. She invites three girls but one can't make it because fuck these nerds. She has a dance to go to. Julie invites this other girl like an afterthought. Julie's mom leaves her with her dad who spends the entire night installing a water filter while her brother who dropped out of college begs her for money. During the night the popular girl Staci who did not wanna come to the sleepover climbs into Julie's house after her boyfriend thinks that skipping the dance she is dressed for is not as fun as driving onto a lawn to suck face.
Staci
challenges Julie and her friends to a scavenger hunt. This hunt
involves all kinda shit that would get you arrested. They have to get
a photo from inside a popular nightclub. These girls are like 14 and
look every minute of it. One of them borrows her father's car to drive
them around. They have to steal a symbol off a security vehicle.
Change the clothes on an Old Navy mannequin. Oh, and they have to
steal the draws from a guy Julie likes who never closes his mouth.
The winner gets to sit near the fountain when they get into high
school because there are only two places to sit and chill at this
school. Near the fountain and look like a cool kid or at the lunch
tables near actual giant ass trash dumpsters. One of the weirdest
scenes other than her brother and the dog eating four pizzas and
fainting, farting, and belching is when Julie signs up for a dating
site and ends up meeting her teacher who helps facilitate their
mission. She also spots her mom partying at the club. The town they
live in has only five locations and they hit up all of them.
The
hunt ends in a tie so it turns into a dance off where Julie ends up
meeting and getting with the guy who can't close his mouth. Evan
Peters ends up with the girl who just left her boyfriend who wanted
to just smooch and it turns out he already has a girlfriend. How did
no one know?! The girl considers blackmailing her mom for dancing at
the club until she finds out her dad already knew. Her bestfriend is
moving away. The girl who everyone calls fat and doesn't look at gets
a boyfriend who appears to be an adult with a full-time job. She also
doesn't even make the poster. The red haired friend is irrelevant.
Seriously. She contributes nothing except one scene where she makes
the girl who already feels bad feel even worse. This was a cute movie
that was made better because cell phones were used to actually talk
with and the adults had massive blind spots in the line of sight.
This movie was made right before films about high school became super
raunchy and drug fueled.
