"American Graffiti"-lite. "The Myth of the American Sleepover" is about
what boys and girls get up to on a summer's night and no, it's not what
you might expect if you rely solely on the movies for your information.
The closest they get to sex is a bit of petting; they drink beer and
vodka but stop short of getting drunk and 'fighting' is limited to an
egg and a slap being thrown. This was David Robert Mitchell's first film
and it's a real charmer. Nothing happens but his delightful young and
untried cast make spending time in their company a real pleasure and
Mitchell is content just to let them be themselves. There are no dramas
and nothing bad happens. This is a movie to make us think back to our
own youth and smile.
