Nussbaum's attempt to capture the 'tween zeitgeist fails: The Spice Girls-infused soundtrack is dated, and the feel-good progressiveness forced.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A terrible film.
Not overwhelmingly original or funny.
Just when the big screen could use an injection of frothy, giggly girl power -- all in the name of a covert feminist message, of course -- Sleepover squanders that promise with a blah story and even bigger bummer of a take-home message.
Fairly standard tween-oriented fare.
