Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Wuchak RELEASED IN 2017 and directed by Benny Fine, "F the Prom" is a campy high school dramedy about two inseparable neighbor-friends, Cole (Joel Courtney) and Maddy (Danielle Campbell), who separate when they enter high school wherein Cole is relentlessly teased while Maddy becomes the most popular girl. When they reunite two and a half years later, they scheme to destroy the Prom (the ultimate teen popularity contest) teamed with a ragtag gang of outcasts.There are a lot of 1 Star votes (out of 10) of this movie on IMDb, which is absurd. While this may be a low-budget teen flick, it's not THAT bad. Many of these critics lament how unrealistic the movie is, which is ridiculous in light of its campy tone. It would be like criticizing the 60's Batman TV show for being unrealistic. In other words, there's a lot of silliness and exaggerations in "F the Prom," but it's intentional. Underneath it all, the movie reflects several real-life issues, mostly pertaining to popularity and the drive to be liked. Others argue that the point is elusive and characters contradict themselves. No, the point(s) are obvious and some characters change their minds because they're fickle teens.This is a solid low-budget high school flick, but it's a little too talky for my tastes. And I guess the staple "gay" character is here to stay at this juncture, but the movie wins points for boldly illustrating that even gays have their cliques and shun those who don't conform.Campbell and Madelaine Petsch are solid on the female front, but the director could've showcased their beauty better (and I'm not talking about nudity). Meg DeLacy is intelligent & winsome as Stuft (aka City) and has a beautiful face, but needs to gain some curves.THE FILM RUNS 1 hour, 32 minutes and was shot in Southern Cal. WRITERS: The Fine Brothers and Molly Prather.GRADE: C

duolingoemailisadora I don't want to trash the whole movie, but honestly I don't know anyone that could possibly enjoy any aspect of this movie. From beginning to end there was barely no character development and I couldn't understand most of the movie, not because of its complexity, but trashed because the characters motivations did not make sense at all. The moments of comedic relief were weak, with the immature adult trope being heavily relied on for the humor of the movie. I can't fathom how any writer of the movie could have thought for a split second that the lines on that movie were clever, or even properly delivered. Lines such as "stop trying to peak at her nipples" were meant to be fine but had no context and were honestly pretty alarming coming from a middle aged guy talking to his son. Even if you enjoy the "inappropriate" humor, you won't laugh at this movie. It is simply not funny and comparing it to Mean Girls or The Breakfast Club is an offense to the above. This movie was a completely let down because I know that the Fine Brothers work with teenagers from their react program, and I thought they would have consulted the opnion of actual teenagers to have a slightly more accurate picture of the high school struggles. But no, no honestly, it is not even necessary to be a high school teenager to make a better movie. This movie is not even good for an over exaggerated satire. I give one star out of pity.

lucycarluccio Gross, offensive humor. Actual quote from the principal "it's only statutory if you get caught". Disgusting jokes like that throughout the movie

sammikuegler That movie f'ed me up, really weird characters doing weird things and being totally unrelateable. Sometimes the movie tries to create kind of comic releaves, doesnt work cause they are so forced. Acting is ok i guess, but with such a bad story and bad story telling that doesnt help. Wasted time!!
