Almost a teenager . . . films for 13th birthday sleepover?

[Takver]

Any suggestions? Mostly girls but a couple of boys. Nothing scary as it's a camping sleepover

Legally Blonde? I think it's a 12.

13 going on 30... Better for girls than boys though

The Woman in Black is a 12 cert. It's scary but camping's no fun unless you're scared to put the lamp off

Why dont you ask the kids for some suggestions and then you can decide whether you think they are suitable :)

Pitch Perfect

I've asked dd, and not got anywhere beyond 'something like Jupiter Ascending' - which isn't out on dvd and which we saw last weekend at the cinema [unhelpful child emoticon]

Pitch perfect looks interesting - make a change for dd to watch something that doesn't involve teenage girls killing people

nequidnimis - I got my fingers burnt at the last camping extravaganza when I had two hysterical girls at 11.30pm winding each other up into fits of crying . . . . (fortunately neither are on the guest list this time!)

Mean Girls. Most teenagers I know love that film.

Silly question (I've never seen it), but is Mean Girls going to get rejected as too girly?

What about something like the Hunger Games?

Sadly they watched Hunger Games last year, and we've recently seen Divergent.

I'm trying to think of something like Jupiter Ascending...

Guardians of the Galaxy?
I am Number Four?
Fifth Element?
Ender's Game?
Any of the X Men movies?
Avatar?

That's a really good list, nequidnimis, thank you, lots of good ideas there. I'll run them past dd :)

What about Maze runner? I've just bought it for my soon to be 13 dd's birthday. If Hunger games and divergent were a hit, I think it's similar.

Pitch Perfect went down really well at my DD's 13th. They sang along with all the songs and had cups ready for the cup song.

Go retro ?
Top Gun
The Breakfast Club
Ferris Buellers Day Off
The Outsiders

Dirty Dancing?
Ghost?

But agree that Pitch Perfect is fab.

Mean girls is not too girly! Mean girls 2 on the other hand is a girly pile of shite and has no relation to the original.

Yes to Enders Game and Maze Runner - or Super8 is good.

Hunger games is scary.

DD thinks she had Grease for her 13th (bit sexy!)
My first thought was Legally Blonde, too.
Warm Bodies has just a bit of scary in it.

Go old skool and get the run of Final Destination films!

Nothing scary was the brief mfg. I think they are a 15 cert too.

So far dd's favourite from the suggestions is Avatar. (I guess Hunger Games / Maze Runner / Divergent and the like are ok because they've all read the books so know what happens? Last year's party also didn't involve a sleepover )

Oh I thought they were a 12. I thought they were more comedy than scary too. Certainly less scary than Hunger Games!

Yes, they are a bit comedy scary Depends on the child I think.

final destination films are VERY gory!

my 13 year old would hate them

Mean Girls
Legally Blonde
St Trinians
Wild Child
