David Robert Mitchell’s Myth of the American Sleepover is the anti-teen movie teen movie. It’s American Graffiti by way of mumblecore; it’s Kids by way of Norman Rockwell. The film follows a group of moderately well-behaved teens on the last night of summer, and features enough awkward inter-sex interactions to fill up a battalion of big studio teen comedies. The one difference? The cast is filled with many new performers and — at the time of filming in 2008 — actually teenagers. Like Claire Sloma.
