Prom
It’s all about High school drama to the hilt as Nova Prescott (Aimee Teegarden), class overachiever and prom committee chairwoman is up against a tight deadline to rescue her school’s Prom and find romance at the same time. Conveniently, dreamy bad boy and angsty Jesse Richter (Thomas McDonell) seems pitted against her in her plight. Meanwhile, other classmates struggle to deal with their own personal challenges and baggage as the often tortuous ritual of prom nears. In the end, who’ll get to go to the big dance, who’ll get left in the dust, and will Jesse ever find it in his heart to help Nova with what she really needs?
Cookie cutter in its plot and clearly made on a minuscule budget, I suppose this one will work for it’s designated pre-teen/tween audience in so much as it doesn’t do anything to challenge anyone’s expectations. Acting seems on par for a Disney film of this caliber and the overall experience could have been worse. So, for the right audience I guess it’ll be okay, as for yours truly, frankly there are several of my High school prom experience’s I’d rather forget, pass. Prom is rated PG.
