Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Sancy Jeg 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.

naptaq23 Is a story, that we've seen many times over. Prom night - guys and girls anxious to get their dates. There's also rejection and betrayal. All packed in a neat Disney way without too much of a fuss, with some bad, mediocre and good acting thrown in together.I enjoyed the movie. For what it's worth, I kinda knew what to expect so I didn't set my expectations too high. The movie had a good pace to it, it was interesting, albeit predictable (rarely are movies not predictable, even the 'top' ones) and it was good spending those 100 minutes or so with a feel good story.If you're too picky about movies then you wouldn't even consider watching this movie, I suppose, but for an easy movie, this is it.

blackberrybabe I never went to my high school prom. So normally I would avoid a movie with this title like the plague, but as I caught it on TV one night, my interest was piqued. After watching it, I discovered I really liked it. A cute movie about an important rite of passage: senior prom.The movie stars Aimee Teegarden as Nova Prescott, your typical honor student. She's class president, valedictorian and has won hundreds of awards. She's also chair of the prom committee and is devastated when the decorations are ruined a few weeks before prom. Teegarden gives a believable portrayal of a snobbish good girl who opens her eyes and her heart to the rebel without a cause. She is also very pretty and you feel her pain when Jesse rejects her.That rebel is Jesse Richter, played by Thomas McDonell. Giving the "who cares?" image, McDonell is perfect as Jesse. He wears the typical leather jacket, drives a motorcycle and doesn't care what others think about him…except for Nova. We see him slowly change during the course of the movie and begin caring about prom and the young class president. One of my favorite scenes is when he first sees her in her prom dress. The look on his face is of a man in love. McDonell is perfect in this role and my favorite in the film.With the exception of these two leads, the rest of the movie is made up of a plethora of different characters. There's the sophomore boy, Lucas, who is in love with his classmate Simone, who wants to go to prom with the biggest jock in school. He, in turn, is a player and courts another woman at the same time. There's the "forever" couple that have been together since junior high, Mei and Justin. Mei has just accepted an offer to attend Parson's for design in the fall, despite her boyfriend believing they are going to the University of Michigan. One person I really enjoyed was Rolo, who goes through the whole movie claiming that his date will be coming to prom, but us never seeing her. While I knew what the ending to that story would be, it was nonetheless enjoyable to watch.Do not think that this movie does not contain adults; it does and strong role models as well. Jesse's mother is a no-nonsense woman who makes him see the light near the end of the film. Nova's parents want what is best for her and when her father thinks she'll make a decision she'll regret, he intervenes. "I know you thought you were doing what's best for me, but tonight could have been one of those great things," Nova tells him after. While not necessarily right in his assumptions, you can understand why her father did what he did. He is not portrayed as the bad guy in this film, or as a laughable character. He is portrayed as a loving father who wants what is best for his little girl.Special effects in this movie are minimal; but in a story like this, you do not need a lot of graphics. The dresses worn by the girls at prom were beautiful, but a few looked too conservative for high school. However, this being a Disney film, that was probably a requirement. Another nice change of pace is the lack of swearing that so often accompanies high school students. Again, being a Disney film, swearing is not allowed.While not the best movie in the world, I found myself quite entertained throughout it and eagerly anticipated the next time I would see it. If you are sick of the typical movie produced in Hollywood today, give Prom a chance. A nice movie without a political message, you will be thinking about it after it is done.

JaniceNicole "Prom" is about a group of high school seniors who are preparing for their prom and the problems they encounter. The decorations are destroyed in an accident and class president Nova has to find a way to remake them in time. As punishment, notorious bad boy Jesse is forced to help her. There are two couples that have difficult decisions to make before prom and perpetually single Lloyd desperately tries to find a date. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It was of course very cliché and exaggerated, but that's to be expected with a Disney movie. It was actually quite funny and not at all childish like I went in thinking it would be. Some of the characters are juvenile, but not enough to be off- putting. I think this is a film that people of all ages can enjoy.
