It turns out the boring, stay at home mom is actually in Witness Protection because she’s a retired jewel thief who snitched on her bad guy boss! Margot is kidnapped (with her completely blindsided husband) and forced into one more heist with her ex-fiance (Joe Manganiello).
With the help of some National Treasure level clues, the kids go on their own adventure in order to find their parents, save the day, and have the family bonding adventure they’ll never forget!
The Sleepover is very reminiscent of Spy Kids with a couple of big differences – the parents are the stars and there’s no over the top fantasy element.
A Shockingly Fun Film For All
This film is incredibly wholesome, which might be a surprise to some, but given the family films, and TV shows coming out as of late it’s oddly refreshing and not entirely shocking. In a time where our world is in chaos, it’s nice to watch something that takes you away from the crazy and sends you to a world where the good guys win without the extra PG-13 layer of crude.
In my opinion, Ken Marino as goofball dad Ron was the standout of the film. He had to pull off fart jokes, poop jokes, many dad jokes, as well as pretend not to be the amazing, handsome catch that he is against Joe Manganello – that is the kind of committed humiliation I’m looking for!
In the end, was The Sleepover life-changing? Absolutely not. Was is entertaining and worth the 90 mins of my time? 100%
