Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I don't usually like teenage movies because they are all pretty much the same, but I admit I liked this one. I ended up with a smile on my face at the end of the movie, something which for me is an indication that I enjoyed the movie. So there's no reason I shouldn't give it a 10.And I remembered some of my experiences from my high-school experience (which was a calm and beautiful one), which was another indicator that I liked the movie.So yep, it gets a 10 from me.

Well The Disney's prom is not a movie which i expected. It played out a lot different than i thought! it is a movie that the whole family can watch in terms i would give it a five because i was expecting a lot more from this movie! when it advertises it makes it look much more fun than when you are actually watching the movie! i love that the two stars got together in the end! i thought that the script was not well thought through but it was not that bad in terms well some terms. It was missing the fun when watching this show i didn't see my self laughing and i am a very peppy girl that laughs when i get a good joke or even a stupid joke i would laugh because it's senseless but i didn't do that much through the whole movie. At some points i smiled because of the different scenes but that's all i can say for now i leave the rest to you!!

I had resisted watching Prom for the longest time, as I'd seen the low rating and read more of the unflattering reviews. I needed space on my PVR so I decided to get it over and done with...kind of like pulling the band-aid off a knee in one quick motion. Turns out that the motion didn't hurt as I thought it would, and underneath everything was normal.Prom is like that- surprising. Yes, there are a fair bit of cheesy dialogue, clichéd moments and stereotyped characters. But it could have been worse...The Wayans brothers or the Farrelly's could have directed this as either a spoof or a gross out teen school comedy. What you get for 100 minutes is a semi-sweet semi-interesting story that's unlike your own high school days...with a few exceptions of course.Even though the movie starts by quickly introducing several cast members the only one the movie really concentrates on is Nova, the nice, super involved class president trying to get the perfect Prom event organized, until a fire destroys her efforts till date and she's got to start all over again.The downside to the movie is that Nova's story is not really that interesting. The only side plot that's worth following is that of Lucas, who pines for the cute Simone. Thankfully, this is underplayed so that we get snippets of their story as the movie unfolds, allowing us to empathize with Lucas and, perhaps reminisce about our own crushes. Even the tall nerdy Lloyd's efforts of trying to land a prom date at the last minute is worth a smile or two. But the rest of the cast are not that interesting. To be fair the script never really gave enough attention to them. Did I feel bad for Jordan? Briefly. She got over it quickly. Jesse's character is too one dimensional and superficial...the misunderstood bad boy rebel that we've seen in practically every teen movie, spoof or not. The oblivious preppie friend was more original! What was interesting at least was to find out just why Nova puts so much effort into the Prom...and we get to see her misguided sense of one night that really represents the last day of adolescence, and onto the forage into adulthood. According to Nova Prom represents the togetherness, the camaraderie that four years of high school has developed. Poor, naive Nova. In the real world, that may the view of some but it's just a minority. For most it's a night to party, drink, have sex, and stick it to four years of high school hell. No one cares about the shiny decorations or the tuxedos. Thankfully, the movie doesn't drag too long or over elaborate the plot any more than necessary. When it ends, it ends. As does this review.Verdict: it's worth watching. It'll surprise you, cause you to smile, roll your eyes, and even reminisce about the "good" old days...

Why does this have such a low rating? I give it 10/10 to make the rating more accurate! Some parts of the movie did annoy me. But they were brief and it would not be right to punish such a wonderful movie for a couple moments.Spoilers after this point:This movie is not cliché in anyway. You know why? Because these things actually happen! I've seen them happen in real life with my naked eyes. It's not the normal garbage movie like "She's All That" (1999) where the "ugly" girl that is clearly beautiful is given a "makeover" and gets the most popular/attractive/nice/smart/etc. guy in school. It's realistic because it covers every spectrum of relationship. The main one it covers is the whole opposites attract one. Nice girl meets tough guy. Nova Prescott (Aimee Teegarden) is the nice girl, the class president, has hopes and dreams, and is a very dedicated student. While Jesse Richter (Thomas McDonell) is the tough guy that has no dreams and bashes everything since he's had a tough life.So Nova's prom decorations get destroyed and the rest of the prom committee does not have the time to help her rebuild (internships, A.P. tests, exhaustion, etc.). So the principal, who was also bashed by Jesse, makes Jesse help Nova. Of course they both protest. Nova objects because she sees Jesse as a slacker, and Jesse objects because he does not care about prom, more bashing. They spend time together and wouldn't you know it, there is attraction! Well both actors are great looking! But what I mean is that they see into each other's souls, hearts, and minds. I really feel this happening. It's not like other movies where the attraction is not explained like "Twilight" (2008) where Bella just "falls in love" with Edward. It's not explained why they are attracted to one another! Not even in the books! It's very shallow: it seems as if Bella/Edward is simply a physical attraction as that is all they talk about. She talks about how his arms are like marble, and every guy hits on Bella. In "Prom" (2011) the attraction is explained. They see that there is more than meets the eye. Nova understands Jesse's tough life to explain his "slacker" ways. And Jesse understands the pressure Nova is under to be perfect to explain her "nerd" ways. There are lots more to this. You just gotta see this movie. :DNow to the parts I did not like. In this movie there were lots of sub stories. The one I did not like was the couple that was together since middle school. I know these couples exist, but their story seemed like filler and just unnecessary.I liked the sub story of Lloyd Taylor (Nicholas Braun) since that was the most realistic. Most people in high school are shy. I liked the cute scene where he mentors the young guy that is also shy! So great!This is a great movie don't miss it because someone told you it was bad. Whoever does not like this movie is cold. This film is so happy! How could you dislike it?
