Trish Sie's uninspired action-comedy "The Sleepover", now streaming on Netflix , follows this formula superficially, but never grounds the reveal, or its consequences, in much emotional truth

silly but good-hearted family spy fun; Trish Sie's film resembles the "Spy Kids" movie series -- but with a bit more polish, a little less tech and extra fart jokes
a bland romp; Trish Sie's The Sleepover is the kind of vanilla, disposable product one imagines might've played on the Disney Channel around the turn of the century
