Surprisingly incoherent and boring

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It just doesn't make sense at most scenes. Total crap. Can make kids go gaga about this movie. If there was something about this movie that would attract, it is just the title. I'd suggest watch some other movie. Why waste time on this? Unless this is the last teen movie you have, don't watch it. Really unexpected from such a good production house. Some scenes take a U - turn as if it's a fairy tale. At least those ones are more interesting. And they have a reason for every turn. Fantasy land! I don't know why I've rated it 3. It doesn't even deserve that. The only thing I liked about this movie is that the bad guy turns out to be the winner. Which did not even make sense. Out of the blue. I wish I'd not seen it.

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...

I would say this movie is probably for 14 year old and up. I'm 12 and I thought it was just a bit too much kissing, I really wouldn't even call it a Disney movie! I think lemonade mouth is one of the best (not animated) movies, I like how its not completely about couples and stuff its about enjoying life, having fun, and to chase your dreams :D And I have never seen someone get punched in a Disney movie, most of the Disney movies I have seen there had only been minor violence, not someone being punched.... I also just loved the movies and shows they used to do like Hannah Montana, wizards of Waverly place and that's so raven. and even the ones like lion king, and all the princess movies. They should make movies that kids can watch at the ages through 5-13 that don't always have kissing and couples in them! And I like movies like lemonade mouth and lion king and tangled because its not all about teens. and whats the point in having a movie with a bunch of soon to be college kids when seventeen year old aren't even bothered about watching movies like prom! And I rarely watch movies like prom but I had nothing left to watch so I decided to try and watch it, BAD CHOICE.

This is certainly not one one of those silly high school movies with nerds, foolishness and mayhem. Instead, it is a serious look at the coming of age among graduating high school students and what prom means to them-not only the fun associated, but it is certainly a coming of age film.Of the variety of stories told among the seniors, the most poignant, of course, is the one involving Nova and Jesse. She is the top student and he is looked up with disdain. When circumstances bring them together, she is able to bring out the better qualities that he does possess.This film is intelligently done and an absolute pleasure to watch.This film is also a coming of age of maturity and even those who might be nerd-like find their way in this very interesting film.
