Prom

PROM – TRASH IT ( C+ ) Prom is the dullest and inconsistent tween movie I've seen in recent times. The movie was supposed to be about prom and updated tween version but sadly it showcases the typical dilemma about prom with no consistency or regularity. The movie and its characters are all over the place. Scenes are badly edited and joint together so badly that even supposed funny scenes couldn't produce any laughs. The only thing made me go through this movie was Amee Teegarden and Thomas McDowell's story because as incomplete and typical it was, they brought some charm to it. Besides these two, Danielle Campbell, Cameron Monaghan & Nolan Sotillo scenes was little interesting. Nicolas Braun looked aged and not funny at all as he looked in trailers. Overall, good production value and time pass but story, dialogues and characterization is not worth it.

I (28) took my 2 daughter ages 9 and 4 to see this movie. Me and the 9 year old loved it. It didn't hold my 4 year old interest which completely understandable as its geared towards the tween-teen group. It had a great story line that was smart, current, but able to stay clean. :) It was about young relationships and the "Hype" that goes along with Prom. Its not a comedy, but there were a few funny parts. The actors chosen did a wonderful job. I am really glad there are some movies out there that me and my kids can enjoy together. Disney usually does a great job doing that and thats why I am proud to say we are a Disney family!!!

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.

First of all, I don't see many reasons for this movie to be hated. It's really not that bad, at all. Movie shows to us some activities and problems that teenagers have at the end some of theirs' spots in life.

When we are talking about the acting, I can say that I was quite surprised how decent it was. Aimee Teegarden and McDonell did really good job with their roles. Their story was predictable ( like the whole movie in general), but it was nicely done. It was touching, softly and for someones heartbreaking. All of the characters were interesting, likable and pretty good to see them again in another scene. I have to admit, that it was rare movie with all likable characters in my case and opinion. Again, there were a lot of them, and because of that, we can't reach full character development, which is weak minus, but it happens with this movies.

Soundtrack of this movie is great. It perfectly matches with all of the scenes.

Cinematography was also great. All places in the movie were very beautiful and interesting.

Of course, just like I said, movie is predictable, sometimes corny and unrealistic, but that doesn't mean that it's bad. It's just there to add some charm. At the end of the day, it's just comedy about high- school.

Overall: With all of this, some positive energy reaches to your heart, while you're watching "Prom", at least in my case. You're not gonna be disappointed, unless you have high hopes. My final rating: 7.5/10

I will freely admit, I'm a sucker for trashy teen films, so obviously I enjoyed Prom. This is a Disney production so don't watch it expecting any of the antics you see in Glee or Skins, these kids are SQUEAKY CLEAN! Even the supposed rebel in the film us quite tame.

In saying that though it isn't extremely Disney either, if you didn't know it was Disney you wouldn't be able to tell. The acting isn't marvelous but a film like this doesn't call for tremendous acting, Aimee Teegarden is pretty enough to just ignore her acting. Also, the soundtrack was impressive.

Cliché yes, bad acting yes, cheesy yes, but hey, its not trying to be the next Mean Girls, so just take it for what it is. :)
