Thumbs Down
PG-13 teen comedy Sleepover includes underage drinking. |
|
to MGM's PG-13 teen comedy Sleepover for irresponsibly showing two fourteen-year-old girls drinking alcohol. The girls in the film lie, cheat, vandalize, steal, sneak out of the house and enter a bar to meet a man they've met over the Internet. He later buys one of them a drink. Parents should know this movie is filled with the kind of parental concerns not factored into the MPAA's rating system, and they should think carefully about the film's appropriateness for its intended age group.
