20 Recommendations

Sort/Filter :

Lions Gate Entertainment Inc.

The Hunger Games (2012)

Based on some of the best books for middle schoolers and up, The Hunger Games movie is probably best for older kids, tweens and teens given the darkness of the theme, as well as the (non-graphic) violence.

amazon.com

Mean Girls (2004)

Mean Girls is a teen comedy that follows a new student who navigates the treacherous social hierarchy of high school.

Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)

Four teens spend the summer apart for the first time, and their unique adventures are connected by a shared pair of jeans. It's a good summer movie for teens due to some mature themes.

amazon.com

Now and Then (1995)

One of the best sleepover movies of the 90s is still a solid coming-of-age story for today's girls, though you'll want to check the content first.

Disney

High School Musical (2006)

A popular high school basketball star and a brainy new student challenge their school's social cliques when they both audition for the lead roles in the school musical. High school drama, song and dance numbers and a little romance make this a fun sleepover movie pick.
