Although this movie tends to not be for most people, it does however have a very interesting male lead. However most of the "popular" kids are completely cheesy and a little unrealistic. I do think this movie does a good job at showing people what life in high school can be like (dramatically of course). The male lead gives a very honest speech at the end of the movie that leaves an impact. Although this is certainly not my favorite movie and I'll probably never watch it again, there were benefits to watching it. So just give it a chance.

Don't waste your life by wasting this. This has no plot, no meritable characters, no actual spark of comedic wisdom. No surprise this is garbage as it is written by someone who was homeschooled and has literally no idea what highschool is like. It's like a imitation of every single highschool cliché but without any indication of knowledge about either people, or life.

Upon sitting down to watch a movie called F the Prom, one does not expect much. The premise details a story that's been told over and over again, recycled, trashed, and then used again. The leads are far too pretty and the trailer doesn't elicit more than a nervous chuckle at best. You expect that you're not in for anything great, but you decide that it's an okay way to spend a Friday night and hope you'll, at the very least, be able to get a couple giggles out of laughing at the film - because you know you won't be laughing at it. And then you watch the movie. How dreadful, painful this viewing experience is cannot be explained by words alone. It's not enough to talk about how painfully flat the film is on a technical level and how there isn't the slightest hint of style or personality in the film. It isn't enough to discuss, in length, the needlessly mean spirited jokes and the offensively painful jokes (a joke is made out of a protagonist's dad constantly sexualizing his next door neighbor, a school principal makes a joke about statutory rape). It isn't even enough to add to talk about the contrived story - which, believe me, we've all seen done before. Maybe not even enough to talk about how tonally deaf and inconsistent the film is (did the movie want to be an episode of Family Guy or a biting black comedy that tackled social issues?). This is bafflingly bad movie, but I think what really, really breaks the film, what hammers the nail into the coffin, is the fact that every bad choice in this movie - well, every choice - seems done without any purpose at all. Take, for instance, the needless pop culture references. The Breakfast Club gang hangs out in the background of a couple scenes. The protagonists reference Game of Thrones and Degrassi. Or take the directorial choices. A long take at the beginning. An absence of visual storytelling. This is a cynical mess, a horribly inaccurate, cliched, and offensive take on social hierarchy; but what makes it all the worse is that it is so empty. There isn't a point, a purpose. Sure, a couple moral messages are tossed out, but never because the directors/writers are trying to make a point. It's less about saying something and more about hitting the beats a movie like this needs to beat. I have nothing against The Fine Bros. I don't dislike the content of their videos or them as people. I am sure they wrote this film with the best of intentions and probably put a good bit of heart into the production of this film. I hope they try their hand at film again. I hope they improve upon themselves. But this movie is just awful. An absolute mess. An insult to high school, high school movies, teenagers, film, social media, prom, the cast, the crew. I sincerely hope the Fine Bros learn from this.

Everyone is giving so much hate towards this film but the thing your all forgetting is that 13-16 year olds are watching this so they might enjoy it and I think it's a film that teens will enjoy
