The Myth of the American Sleepover (2010)

Directed by David Robert Mitchell and starying 'up and coming' actors Claire Sloma, Marlon Morton, Amanda Bauer, the film 'The Myth of the American Sleepover' is set over a single, clammy evening in the leafy suburbs of Detroit. It is not your typical coming of age drama, and is instead brutally honest and something that a large majority of teenagers can connect to. However, I found this film really disapointing. It was slow-paced, very confusing and frankly I found the majority of the actors very annoying. What I did take from the film is that American sleepovers are not all ' pigtails and pillow-fights'.
