Storyline

On the last day of 8th grade before their freshman year in high school, Julie has a slumber party with three best friends: Hannah, Farrah, and Yancy; and they have the time of their lives. To win the legendary high-school lunch spot by the fountain, they must win an all-night scavenger hunt against their popular-girl rivals. Unfortunately, Julie's mom has firm rules about the party. First rule: Don't leave the house. But Julie and her friends won't let a little thing like parental authority stand in the way of social domination, and they sneak out of the house, steal a car, snatch a cute boy's boxer shorts, crash a high-school dance, and torment an egomaniac security guard. Aong the way, some of the girls might just find love. Because anything is possible at Julie's sleepover.

Quotes

Julie Corky: I know who you are.
Ticket Girl: You do?
Julie Corky: You're out here collecting tickets instead of being inside at the dance. You spend your weekends doing extra credit algebra, you play way too much Monopoly with your parents, and you've never eaten anywhere near the fountain. And in 4 years I will be YOU unless I get into that dance.

User Reviews

good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this movie is very cool and funny in way but not to enjoyable not the best movie i had ever seen but is cool. All the actors were very good especially Alexa Vega And Kallie as Yancy the typical loser type girl who managed to find friends at a sleepover. The story is about a group of friends who join in at a scavenger hunt against popular Queens. They get things wrong at first but they make way Alexa Vega gets to dance with her prince in the end at the dance. This movie is ideal for teen girls who live in a fantasy.i also love to watch the prince and me and comedies so try the prince and me it is a bit soppy but if you like other things watch like this movie i like stuck in the suburbs i love it!
