Plötzlich verliebt

Im usually a fan of chic flicks....it is my favorite genre in fact....but this one was terrible. The message at the end for young girls was a terrible influence on our youth out there, the way curvy girls are portrayed sends a bad message as well, and it was pretty boring overall. Not a great movie lol

I watched it last night ( October 15th 2020) as I was in the mood for something light and funny. The movie was that but definitely a early 2000's film. It was fun but awkward to watch today. It also made me realize just how many movies around that time were centered around middle school students acting and doing things much older than they should be ( hooking up!?, aren't they supposed to be playing 13- 15 year olds?) kinda like every show on disney today.

I wasn't expecting much from "sleepover", other than Alexa Vega, so good in the "Spy Kids" movies for Robert Rodriguez, I didn't know anyone in the cast. So i found my self smiling, laughing and even nervous to see if Julie Corky (Vega) and her friends would win out.

This was a really cute Tween comedy that wasn't loaded with sexual references or violence. It may list language on the DVD box but I sure didn't heart anything objectionable. Alexa Vega is in full bloom here literally and figuratively, she really carries the picture, you simply root for her right away and really care that she finally realizes just how cool she is! Her friends are a bit generic and the girl playing Yancy, the chubby one, could use some acting lessons, but thats OK.

Of note besides Vega is Sam Huntington, who does a really nice job as Julie's older Bro. He brings some very witty observations to the film. I would have liked sharper writing and more actual sleepover scenes in here, rather than all the hijinks. That said, at least Vega makes the hijinks entertaining. all in all I thought this was a pretty good film. Miles above such teen tripe as "Raise Your Voice" or "Crossroads". Cheers for Alexa Vega though, its her movie and she makes it all worthwhile.

I was bored one night and decided to go ahead and see what Sleepover was, it was on TV, figured it might not be so bad. Well, while it did live up to my expectations, I have to say for teens, this movie wasn't so bad. First off, the first time I saw Steve Carrel on the screen, I was like "Is that Steve... no, it can't be. Why would he be in a movie like this?", and it was him. But I guess we all have to start somewhere. He was an interesting person in the cast, but it's all good. Even though I didn't really like the film, it was worth the watch, I thought it was a good idea for the "tweens" as most people are calling this genre. I suppose who doesn't dream of a sleepover like this one? I mean it had everything, the girls had a date with their teacher(sounds sick, I know), messed with authority and got away with it, and got the guys.

Julie Corky is throwing a big sleepover for her friends, it's the summer before they enter high school, so they are trying to make a new name for themselves as the click crowd. After a bad night, the click leader, Staci wants to have fun and challenges Julie and her friends to a scavenger hunt where they have to do certain things throughout the night and then whoever wins will get the hot spot in high school and have lunch next to the fountain. The girls are in for one wild night and end up with the greater reward: friendships that will last a lifetime.

I have to admit that Sleepover has a few cute laughs, I wouldn't deny that some moments are funny. While the movie is still very overly cheesy, it's all good for the audience it was aimed at. It was just so cute how Julie found her "true love" in the movie, lol, I'm sure most teens find their true loves like that in real life. So other than that unrealistic situation, this was just like a J-14 magazine, I feel so preppy and bubbly, I have to watch a serious movie now I think. For the teens, this is the perfect movie for them, for adults, well, begin to feel old, because if this is the way kids act now a days, then I'm glad I'm done with them.

5/10

this movie is really good.the movie is fun to watch for the whole family.kids and adults alike would love the movie.but especially the teens can relate their lives to this movie.the cast was excellent showing real life portrayals where in an ordinary girl starts high school and how she manages to be the princess of her night with her crush.overall i really enjoyed seeing the movie and would like to see the sequels of this movie in the future.the movie shows the basic ethics of friendship where the leading actor misses her friend because she wont be studying high school with her anymore and it also shows how kind hearted and generous the character portrays.the other gang of girls who are snobbish learn their lesson when they realize they have only geeks as their partners for the night.but the escape is truly amazing.how they escape is great fun to watch.and the best part if the movie is the climax where the hero takes the crown and waits for his girl and one more good part of the movie is the scavenger hunt which is very different from the other movies and the comedy part is they have to include Steve;s accessories.it was fun to see them playing with the mannequins in the shop with the cop not noticing what these girls are up to.again i say its a good movie
