''The Sleepover'' is a 2020 American action comedy film directed by Creator/TrishSie and starring Creator/SadieStanley, Creator/MaxwellSimkins, Creator/CreeCicchino, Creator/LucasJaye, Creator/KenMarino, Creator/JoeManganiello, and Creator/MalinÅkerman, released on Creator/{{Netflix}} on August 21, 2020.
Margot Finch (Akerman) is a suburban housewife, married to pastry chef Ron (Marino), with a son, Kevin (Simkins) and daughter Clancy (Stanley). After a video taken of Kevin dancing in a restroom at school goes viral on [=YouTube=], and Clancy and Margot get into a fight over Clancy not being able to go to a Senior party which will be attended by her crush, Travis, which results in her being grounded. Also, some shadowy figures note Margot's appearance in the video with a great degree of interest. Kevin prepares for an outdoor sleepover with his best friend, Lewis (Jaye), who has an incredibly over-protecting mother, while Clancy and her best friend Mim (Cicchino) plot to sneak out to the party.
When Lewis heads inside to use the bathroom, he witnesses Margot and Ron being abducted by some criminals who know Margot under a different name, Mathilde, but only after Margot snaps off her necklace and leaves a clue in the spilled sugar on the countertop. The children follow the clues, guided through their mother's mysterious past as an international jewel thief while Margot is forced to participate in one last heist with her former fiancé, Leo (Manganiello), who entered into Witness Protection the same time she did, after they turned in evidence regarding the boss of their theft and smuggling organization.
----
!!This film exhibits the following tropes:
* ChekhovsHobby:
** Ron's incredibly strong grip, from hours of kneading dough, gets invoked several times.
** Kevin is introduced glibly telling a whopper of a tale about his family history that's explicitly called out as being ripped off from ''Film/TheMartian'', with his ability to come up with detailed lies on the spot coming in handy later.
** Clancy's cello-playing ability is introduced early on as being exceptional, and it proves to be part of how they establish themselves as legitimate at the party.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Ron accidentally takes the contact poison meant for the Queen, and winds up projectile vomiting for a few minutes.
* WitlessProtectionProgram: Mostly averted. Margot follows the rules, and the US Marshall assigned to her case, Henry Gibbs, tries to get ahold of her as soon as he realizes that she shows up in that viral clip. That said, he's overpowered by four kids when they catch him apparently breaking into the house, and he's apparently unable to get the video taken down from [=YouTube=] since it's shown off in a later scene.
