'The Sleepover': Film Review
An up-all-night adventure aimed at any young teens who still live in a pre-Tik-Tok era, Trish Sie's The Sleepover is the kind of vanilla, disposable product one imagines might've played on the Disney Channel around the turn of the century. Helmed by a veteran of Step Up and Pitch Perfect sequels and scripted by first-timer Sarah Rothschild, it follows kids who've learned that their fuddy-duddy mom (Malin Akerman) was once a superthief; forced back into action by her old crew, she badly needs to be rescued by four spunky youngsters who've never heard of True Lies, or any of the other films this one liberally cribs from.
