Prom Reviews
Several different teens prepare for the senior prom. This film suffers from too much going on and if the script had focused on half of the story given it may have been a better film. The script is also on the predictable side. This movie also had a Disney channel movie feel to it, instead of a theatrical release. The acting isn’t bad, but no real standouts either. If you're in the mood for a mindless tween drama then this movie fits the bill, otherwise skip it.
I wish I could have pulled the fire alarm at my senior prom in 1996
LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 43 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty typical and brings nothing new to these sorta films, but it still has more to it than I was expecting. I had predicted it was going to be a full-on forced comedy and cringe teen romance, but it actually has a little bit more substance to it. Added to the fact that none of the cast irritated or annoyed me, which is always a positive. You can guess what's coming up from minute one, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it - albeit to a minor degree. Aimee Teegarden (Nova) and Thomas McDonell (Jesse) are a decent enough pairing, while the characters of Danielle Campbell (Simone) and Joe Adler (Rolo) are more interesting than they seemed to be early on. Dean Norris, midway through 'Breaking Bad' at this point in his career, also appears. 'Prom' may have absolutely nothing special about it and is very plain, but I'd very much be lying if I said I disliked it to be honest. It's passable.
"Prom" is a pretty harmless movie that I think will be thoroughly enjoyed by its target audience, which is definitely younger people. I think the movie did an okay job presenting its storylines, even though every character is some kind of stereotype. The characters that I related to most aren't given the most screen time, so personally, the characters given the most focus didn't resonate with me. Still, I thought the conflicts the characters faced were pretty genuine and that's why the movie ends up being watchable. I do feel a PG-rated high school movie is pretty limited in what topics it can get into and I feel the movie could have benefitted from edgier storylines. Most of the storylines aren't far from something you'd see on the Disney Channel so it didn't feel like I was watching something that was meant to be theatrically released. In the end, its a cute movie that I found a decent amount of enjoyment in, and I think that counts for something considering it was probably not made for my age group.
I really enjoyed it although most movies are fiction but this one was like a one night teen prom movie thing so on a scale it was good
There's nothing bright about a bunch of teenagers getting ready for prom.
Disney, in its infinite wisdom, decided they should combine every teen romantic comedy cliché into one broadly titled movie. Hurrah!!!
Prom is one of those rare films that gets EVERYTHING wrong: the dialogue, the story, the characters, the acting, and pretty much everything else. This was a piece of crap.
Prom is a likable piece of teen Disney fluff that nicely captures the excitement and expectations of prom night.
