Director: Trish Sie
Cast: Malin Akerman , Ken Marino , Joe Manganiello , Matthew Grimaldi , Harry Aspinwall , Sadie Stanley , Maxwell Simkins , Cree Cicchino , Lucas Jaye , Enku Gubaie , Marissa Carpio
Plot: When two siblings discover their seemingly normal mom is a former thief in witness protection who has been forced to pull one last job, they team up to rescue her over the course of an action-packed night.


My Movie Review: The movie is a family-friendly action tale that delivers a lot of humor with mild violence and silliness on the side actually it's fun to watch is above average for a kids flick! The Sleepover is the latest addition to Netflix’s roster of films you can watch with the whole family over the weekend- give you time to let your hair down as it entertain and kick some ass:) I have to admit the night started unusual I didn't like it at first but as it goes along it gets better when the kids work together to find their parents and discover cool spy gadgets in their garage! Maxwell Simkins is smart-mouthed young son that's hysterically funny and a natural comedian add hype energy to the film with his cute reactions so very contagious surely have a good time! Malin Akerman is a bad-ass mom who showcase flawless fighting chops make all impressive presence throughout the film I think this is the best I've seen from her the real star of the night:)

Critic Reviews: The Sleepover is filled with humor, action, and some serious hijinks! While it was a bit predictable, the wild ride did not disappoint. What also makes the film have some charm is how the screenplay by Sarah Rothschild has a lot of genuine humor in it. Sie is not reinventing the genre wheel here, and many of her set pieces feel made-for-TV flat, but she appears to be having as much fun as her budget allows. It's wacky, but surprisingly funny and powered by an amusing cast. Sie elicits mostly spontaneous, credible performances from the younger cast, who deliver their wisecracks and banter with aplomb and only occasionally edge into annoying child-actor pertness. Ken Marino steps up to turn a largely thankless role into the movie's most interesting subject. As harebrained, mostly clean, overly convoluted, somewhat hyperactive, funny, family-friendly movies-that-need-a-quiet-place-to-calm-down-a-little-bit go, The Sleepover is wholly watchable as family adventure-comedy for a new generation to enjoy:)
