Anyone Tapped into teenage girl culture knows that there are only two crowds to run with in junior high and high school: the take-no-prisoners popular group or the cluster of unfortunately unpopular kids.

At least the teen girl zone painted by Hollywood is one where the well-intentioned, nice unpopular girls are good and the mal-intentioned, mean popular girls are evil. And you know what happens in a sappy teen film when good battles evil.

But even if Sleepover  lives up to the cliche of the out-crowd winning against the in-crowd, it does it without some of the more lewd elements that show up in teen flicks these days. Geared toward tweens, the movie follows four graduating eighth-graders who want to improve their social status before their freshman year.

Not overwhelmingly original or funny, "Sleepover" joins the ranks of moralizing, kid-friendly television dramas, where the actors are mostly cute and innocent and any dicey situations they get involved in are turned into some kind of life lesson.

It's all about good-girl empowerment when Julie (Alexa Vega of "Spy Kids" fame)  has three friends over for a birthday sleepover on the last day of junior high school, the same day she learns that her best friend is moving away and therefore will not be her partner in crime in high school. Julie becomes worried when she imagines not having a best friend to deal with her inevitable assignment to the undesirable lunchtime picnic tables in the front of the school. Historically, the cool kids have monopolized the prime seats in front of a fountain, while the rest have been relegated to seats next to a dumpster.
