The Sleepover

POSITIVES…

  • As a kid’s action adventure movie, it makes a lot of good decisions to keep things fun.

  • The set pieces littered throughout the story were all perfectly entertaining, and constantly kept me engaged and invested with where the narrative was taking me.

  • It’s sense of humor is actually something both kids and adults can equally enjoy. I know I laughed more times than I thought I ever would for this.

  • I especially loved the running jokes in this movie. There’s one involving Joe Manganiello that just cracks me up.

  • Overall cast is good in this, but huge shout out to Ken Marino, Maxwell Simkins, and Cree Cicchino, for specifically being the comedy reliefs in this movie.

  • Appreciated the family friendly tone and familiar yet comfortable plot, that kept me entertained throughout.

  • There’s a bit of self-awareness found with the characters, jokes, and references, that helped me easily accept the movie for what it is.

NEGATIVES…

  • Premise and plot-wise, it’s not doing anything extraordinary, or unpredictable.

  • Comedy is subjective. Kid comedies even more so. Hope you can still find fun watching this.

  • Logic-wise, there’s a lot of plot flaws you’re going to just need to ignore, lest it ruins your experience watching this.
