When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
In this story a group of teenagers are getting ready for their high school prom. This movie has three story layers. The first story is about a girl and a boy who make the prom decorations, the second story is about a boy who loves another girl but pretends like he is love with another girl, the last story is about a boy who is shy and always waits for the right time. I like all the stories. I think this movie is very interesting and amazing. I suggest everyone to watch this movie.
Prom. It's one of the biggest night in high school and Disney's movie "Prom" brings to life the biggest days for many juniors in high school. With multiple story lines, humorous interactions, and real life situations the movie captures what is going through the minds of teenage girls all over the United States. The movie steps into the life of high school students trying to prepare for prom while still managing all other aspects of life. The main focus duo, Nova (Aimee Teegarden), who returns to the role of the perfect A+ student that she played in "Friday Night Lights", and Jesse (Thomas McDonell), who is the resident bad boy in the film, are forced to work together after a fire destroys all the prom decorations. Because of Nova and Jesse being polar opposites, they share witty lines of banter. You get to follow the roller coaster of feelings that Jesse gives Nova. Nova also faces the fear of going to prom alone as all her friends are getting asked and she's not. But as you see into every prom relationship, you notice that everyone is going through a struggle and facing doubts. As the movie progresses and you see more so into the life of these high schoolers, you see that they are all going through a struggle. Simone (Danielle Campbell) falls for two very different guys and has to face reality of choosing between the two. One of the boys being a fellow underclassman, Lucas, who is obsessed with weird bands. He shows the awkwardness that a pretty girl brings out in most boys, and the real struggle of trying to get the girl. Jordan (Kylie Bunbury) is the typical prom queen candidate with the perfect varsity jock star boyfriend Tyler (DeVaughn Nixon). As their relationship faces the fear of break up, their characters develop in a new way. Tyler brings to light the "typical" jock that does whatever he wants and has no fear of repercussion. Jordan's fears in the relationship show what many girls are afraid of, losing someone they invested a lot of time into. Lloyd (Nicholas Braun) brings the most humor to the movie with his failed attempts at asking girls, yes plural, to prom. In one scene he cuts out letters from a magazine and writes what he thinks is a heartwarming sweet message on a girl's locker asking her to prom. But, in reality is extremely creepy and would send any girl running. Having numerous story lines usually leads to confusion but in this movie the cast works smoothly together feeding off the chemistry and skills of their co-stars. As they intermingle within each other they create a sense of unity and cleanliness. But, however girlie this movie may seem the men should watch it too, even if it is just to get awesome promposal ideas for their future prom.This movie overall is the exact right combination of passion and humor to make any teenager to fantasize about their prom days and for adults to reminisce about their magical day.
No doubt that had some other studio made Prom we might have a somewhat more realistic interpretation of that rite of passage. Me I never went to my prom and don't regret it for a bit. I wonder what John Waters might have made of this in the 80s. Still given Magic Kingdom parameters the Disney Studios they came out with a nice G rated product.Several teen romance stories are involved in Prom. The main one involves Aimee Teagarden, teen queen who is the darling of her parents eye with a 4.0 GPA and a Princeton bound boyfriend in Jonathan Keltz. She's in charge of the Prom committee and she and her team have worked hard on the decorations. Then a fire burns them up about three weeks before the main event.As her team has other obligations Teagarden is faced with an impossible task to make those replacement decorations. Enter Thomas McDonell, a motorcycle riding teenage rebel who the principal decides to punish for some infraction by forcing him to work with Teagarden. The inevitable happens especially Disney like inevitable. Do I really have to go any farther. I never quite bought McDonell as the latest version of James Dean and I wasn't wrong.Still Prom is a pleasant 100+ minutes with a nice score that had a few surprising oldies. Audiences of various ages will find it easy to take entertainment.
This movie could have been better but they did add a good plot, theme, and setting for the story of a high school prom. The directors of this Disney film casted this show properly.For example having Nicholas Braun as Lloyd was humorous. He acted out being a kid who is very nerdy and not able to get a date to the prom, Perfectly! Another good example is Thomas McDonald who played Jesse. He displayed the type of person who changes in a story at first he didn't care about prom at all he felt like it was a waist of time, then he fell in love and made the show a great one that i enjoyed greatly.I would recommend this movie to anyone who is an adult or teen 11-any age.
