Is Superman still able to soar on the big screen? With some elegant direction from Bryan Singer, state-of-the-art special effects and a winning performance from the latest Man of Steel, Brandon Routh, the answer is a resounding yes. But little doses of kryptonite weaken the powerhouse film as well.
The one 1980s pop song not played on the soundtrack--Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"--is the one that best describes the film's playful spirit and youthful energy. Were only it more original, however, Sleepover wouldn't be so quickly forgettable when it's over.
