Surviving the Sleepover

Watching "Surviving the Sleepover" is an exercise in enduring disappointment. From the onset, it becomes evident that this film is a painful concoction of predictability and amateurish execution. It's not just boring; it's excruciatingly tedious.

The plot, if it can even be called that, unfolds with such blatant obviousness that it's insulting to the intelligence of the audience. There are no surprises, no twists, just a mind-numbing journey through cliche after cliche. It's as if the writers threw together every tired trope in the book without a shred of creativity or originality.

The technical aspects of the film fare no better. The sounds, the music, the acting-everything feels like it belongs in a high-school film project. There's a distinct lack of finesse, with performances that range from wooden to cringe-inducing. It's evident that the cast and crew are out of their depth, struggling to salvage a sinking ship with a budget that can only be described as pitiful.

It's frustrating to think that this "TV movie" wasted two precious hours of my life. Time that could have been spent on something far more rewarding. This work fails to deliver even a modicum of entertainment or substance. It's a hollow shell of what a film should be-a pale imitation of the real thing.

My advice? Save yourself the agony and steer clear of "Barely Surviving without Falling Asleep". Instead, invest your time in a movie that's worth watching - a film with real actors, a real plot, and a genuine story to tell. Your time is too valuable to squander on this abysmal excuse for cinema.

This was a movie about mean girls...and one character that stole the movie.

Our protagonist, Hanna, is trying to help her mother recover from her husband's (Hanna's father's) passing. Mom is in the middle of building a new home for them, but stunted by grief, she can't seem to get the project finished.

Hanna and her mom are living in a motel in the meantime. Shes also trying to get through high school, but mean girl Melissa and her co-hort Charlotte are making her life miserable.

Thank God for their other friend Abbie (played by the beautiful Sage Moore) who is the only one with a heart. A truly believable character, she offers comfort to Hanna, but Melissa isn't having it.

The movie has twists and turns. Melissa turns out to be a lot "meaner" than we expected.

Abbie and Hanna need to lean on each other to survive. Although Abbie gets hurt, she turns out to be the strongest young woman in this movie.

It wasn't bad at all. Abbie (Sage Moore) is the most well rounded and realistic character and really steals the show.

Grab some popcorn -and an old friend- and give it a watch.

This is the dumbest garbage that I have seen in quite a while. It's unrealistic, the acting is terrible, the plot is ridiculously bad.

Don't waste your time like I just did. I don't know how these movies even make it to TV. You would think someone would say hey this is really stupid long before it actually gets a budget. I can't submit this until I have posted 600 words so I guess I will repeat myself about what a dumb movie this is and do not waste your time and Again that the acting is horrible. It's not even a B movie. It's flat out bad. Sometimes the movies on and lifetime are great and sometimes they're just complete duds like this one.
