A group of teenagers get ready for their high school prom.
Anxious teenagers might be drawn to the bright, shiny packaging and the attractive-if-somewhat-overage cast, but this is hardly worth renting a tux for.
Aimee Teegarden and Thomas McDonnell have appropriately U-cert chemistry, but this is no Pretty in Pink.
Not knowing enough for the Glee/Easy A generation and laden with enough Prom-movie clichés to have older viewing running for the exits, it's old hat. Still, the songs will bring a smile to all but the grumpiest face.
Katie Wech’s script is smarter than your average tweenie fare, the youngsters are an attractive bunch in a Glee kind of way, and it’s all good, clean harmless fun.
The whole thing is slickly put together, but in stripping out the cynicism, they've stripped out the romance too.
Aaaah – or uuugh – depending on your mood.
So prim it makes High School Musical look racy.
Harmless family comedy.
It's so bad it's worth breaking up with your local cinema.
Prom assembles the usual high-school archetypes but stops short of giving them actual personalities that might encourage the target audience to tear themselves away from Glee.
It's the kind of thing that gives sincerity a bad name.
This Disney fare is so bland and unremarkable that you might be better off staying home and watching a repeat of Glee.
