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.

User Reviews

One of the worst I've seen

Im usually a fan of chic flicks....it is my favorite genre in fact....but this one was terrible. The message at the end for young girls was a terrible influence on our youth out there, the way curvy girls are portrayed sends a bad message as well, and it was pretty boring overall. Not a great movie lol
