EspañolSLEEPOVER (FILM)
(Redirected from Sleepover (2004 film))
'''Sleepover''' is a 2004 teen film directed by Joe Nussbaum and starring Alexa Vega.
In the summer before their freshman year in high school, Julie has a sleepover in order to celebrate their rising to freshman year and to spend one last night with Hannah, her best friend who's moving to Vancouver. In an attempt to cast off their "less-than-cool" reputations once and for all, Julie and her friends enter into an all-night scavenger hunt against their popular girl rivals. Stealing dad's car, sneaking into a club, evading Julie's mother, and even a first kiss, anything is possible at Julie's sleepover.
Julie and her best friends are determined to overthrow the popular girls, Stacie, Liz, and their clique, even if it means pushing all limits.
Meanwhile, Russell and his skater-boy friends pursue Julie and her friends in hopes that they will ruin her party. Unaware of their geekiness, they follow the girls in each task, eventually catching up and joining them against the popular girls, hoping that they will gain popularity themselves.
Stacie has her own problems. Aside from fooling her popular "friends" into thinking she and her so called "boyfriend" Todd hooked up, she tries to keep Julie second guessing herself when they're both "Not that different". In between lip gloss checks and gushing about the latest styles, she maintains her reputation as a popular girl by acting shallow and stomping on others' feelings to make herself seem better. In the end, she gets what she dished out to everyone else.
Yancy, a slightly heavy girl, hangs in the background, unsure of herself. The fact that the popular girls tease her because of her weight doesn't do much for her self-esteem either. During the sleepover, she supports her new-found friends without becoming too involved with them. While waiting for them outside the Cosmo Club, she meets a boy who takes an interest in her - a first, she says. Unfortunately for her, he needs to leave and says goodbye, telling her he has to move speakers at another band's performance. She later meets up with him again, to her surprise.
Farrah is a unique girl, with a style and flair all her own. From designing her own clothes to complaining about Liz and Stacie's party, she makes herself known, a sharp contrast to Nancy. Farrah helps in whatever way she can, including redesigning Julie's mother's old dress to be more flattering on her (Julie). She has a very outgoing personality, and a lingering effect, probably due to her red hair and unique style. This girl makes a lasting impression on everyone she meets, including Yancy, during a short conversation had outside the Cosmo Club. Farrah is also very active in saving the environment.
Hannah, Julie's best friend, is preparing to move away and is determined to make her last day and last party with Julie the best. Even when Julie is unsure about breaking her parents' rules, Hannah convinces her that it's a chance of a life-time - besides, she could meet Steve if they gain popularity. Hannah is not only Julie's best friend, she's also her supporter, and helps her by building up her confidence in herself. She's smart, pretty, and could be popular herself if she wanted to be, but she wisely chooses her friends, picking supportive, loving friends over snooty, shallow girls.
Julie, who's throwing what she hopes to be the best sleepover of eighth grade year, is slightly shy and doesn't push herself to meet her goals, especially when it comes to her crush, Steve. She's determined to show her parents, particularly her mother, that she's a maturing teenager and should be treated so. Unfortunately, her parents don't listen to her and still treat her like a child, embarrassing her by buying her "granny panties" and ladybug-themed items for her party: cups, plates, napkins, and even headbands with "antenna boppers" on them. Julie states that she isn't four anymore; she's maturing and needs "a lock on her door". Most of what embarrasses her is not only that her parents treat her younger than she is, but also they aren't cool enough for her. She's stunned when she sees her mom dancing on stage at a club and stares horrified for a few moments, concluding that "she's a mother! She can't wiggle like that!". While trying to battle her parents for respect, she also tries to win the attention of Steve, a popular high-schooler who Julie thinks is gorgeous, all the while trying to out-do the popular girls.
The lesson of this movie is undoubtedly: believe in yourself and your friends, and you can accomplish anything. Never is this more true than in the examples of Julie and her friends. While Julie and her pals rise to the top of the ladder of success in the high-school world, Stacie learns a hard lesson about deceit, snobbery, and true friends. In
the end, Steve visits Julie and kisses her.
