A highly entertaining original movie that's funny, touching and real.

Prom has sweetness, nonthreatening conflict, and enough personality to distance it from the chilling anodyne of Disney's television vehicles.

Prom, aww, pretty film. I love all the works that Disney do, and Prom is an excellent example. The trama is very funny, the characters, story, all is funny in this film.

The cast's newcomers mix and mingle with ease with the hardened alums of Disney and Nickelodeon TV series.

Fortunately, Teegarden and McDonell make up for the hand-me-down plotting with a sweet, unaffected chemistry.

More interestingly, it's also kind of sweet in a contrived and fumbling first-kiss sort of way.

It's the sort of film Robert Altman might have made if he cut his teeth working for The Disney Channel.

These are boys and girls on their very best behavior, which doesn't sound like any prom you or I remember.

An ordinary Teen Romance ! Nothing to tell about the story , even a 5 years old can tell wats gonna happen . Nothing was amazing or awesome . But But But it was not boring . anyone can get through with it . Teegarden & McDonell;s chemistry was good .Campbell was so cute but her character was not good . she should have a better part . No comment on Directing but if the story was more wide it would be a nice Teen-com ,

It seems as though a writing team outlined the whole movie with plenty of characters and situations and simply forgot to add the actual writing and, more importantly, the heart. You'd never want to see this movie a second time, like you would a John Hughes movie or even 10 Things I Hate About You or Can't Hardly Wait. Teegarden's character is so flat through so much of the movie, only to open up a bit at the very end. And her parents?? Hank from Breaking Bad was so underutilized, and when he does his "bad thing", the wife has no reaction. She can either be pissed or supportive, but she can't do nothing! It's a cop out. Small point, but come on!

Garbage absolute garbage. The camera man was never able to keep the camera in the same place. The only thing worse is the story. Unless you are a 13 year old girl avoid this movie like the sin that it is.
