At “Prom,” every couple has a story and no two are exactly alike. As the big dance approaches for Nova Prescott, it’s a battle of wills as she finds herself drawn to the guy who gets in the way of her perfect prom. Fellow seniors Mei and Tyler harbor secrets, while others face all the insecurity and anticipation that surrounds one of high school’s most seminal events.

No doubt that had some other studio made Prom we might have a somewhat more realistic interpretation of that rite of passage. Me I never went to my prom and don't regret it for a bit. I wonder what John Waters might have made of this in the 80s. Still given Magic Kingdom parameters the Disney Studios they came out with a nice G rated product.Several teen romance stories are involved in Prom. The main one involves Aimee Teagarden, teen queen who is the darling of her parents eye with a 4.0 GPA and a Princeton bound boyfriend in Jonathan Keltz. She's in charge of the Prom committee and she and her team have worked hard on the decorations. Then a fire burns them up about three weeks before the main event.As her team has other obligations Teagarden is faced with an impossible task to make those replacement decorations. Enter Thomas McDonell, a motorcycle riding teenage rebel who the principal decides to punish for some infraction by forcing him to work with Teagarden. The inevitable happens especially Disney like inevitable. Do I really have to go any farther. I never quite bought McDonell as the latest version of James Dean and I wasn't wrong.Still Prom is a pleasant 100+ minutes with a nice score that had a few surprising oldies. Audiences of various ages will find it easy to take entertainment.

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.

Well The Disney's prom is not a movie which i expected. It played out a lot different than i thought! it is a movie that the whole family can watch in terms i would give it a five because i was expecting a lot more from this movie! when it advertises it makes it look much more fun than when you are actually watching the movie! i love that the two stars got together in the end! i thought that the script was not well thought through but it was not that bad in terms well some terms. It was missing the fun when watching this show i didn't see my self laughing and i am a very peppy girl that laughs when i get a good joke or even a stupid joke i would laugh because it's senseless but i didn't do that much through the whole movie. At some points i smiled because of the different scenes but that's all i can say for now i leave the rest to you!!

Why does this have such a low rating? I give it 10/10 to make the rating more accurate! Some parts of the movie did annoy me. But they were brief and it would not be right to punish such a wonderful movie for a couple moments.Spoilers after this point:This movie is not cliché in anyway. You know why? Because these things actually happen! I've seen them happen in real life with my naked eyes. It's not the normal garbage movie like "She's All That" (1999) where the "ugly" girl that is clearly beautiful is given a "makeover" and gets the most popular/attractive/nice/smart/etc. guy in school. It's realistic because it covers every spectrum of relationship. The main one it covers is the whole opposites attract one. Nice girl meets tough guy. Nova Prescott (Aimee Teegarden) is the nice girl, the class president, has hopes and dreams, and is a very dedicated student. While Jesse Richter (Thomas McDonell) is the tough guy that has no dreams and bashes everything since he's had a tough life.So Nova's prom decorations get destroyed and the rest of the prom committee does not have the time to help her rebuild (internships, A.P. tests, exhaustion, etc.). So the principal, who was also bashed by Jesse, makes Jesse help Nova. Of course they both protest. Nova objects because she sees Jesse as a slacker, and Jesse objects because he does not care about prom, more bashing. They spend time together and wouldn't you know it, there is attraction! Well both actors are great looking! But what I mean is that they see into each other's souls, hearts, and minds. I really feel this happening. It's not like other movies where the attraction is not explained like "Twilight" (2008) where Bella just "falls in love" with Edward. It's not explained why they are attracted to one another! Not even in the books! It's very shallow: it seems as if Bella/Edward is simply a physical attraction as that is all they talk about. She talks about how his arms are like marble, and every guy hits on Bella. In "Prom" (2011) the attraction is explained. They see that there is more than meets the eye. Nova understands Jesse's tough life to explain his "slacker" ways. And Jesse understands the pressure Nova is under to be perfect to explain her "nerd" ways. There are lots more to this. You just gotta see this movie. :DNow to the parts I did not like. In this movie there were lots of sub stories. The one I did not like was the couple that was together since middle school. I know these couples exist, but their story seemed like filler and just unnecessary.I liked the sub story of Lloyd Taylor (Nicholas Braun) since that was the most realistic. Most people in high school are shy. I liked the cute scene where he mentors the young guy that is also shy! So great!This is a great movie don't miss it because someone told you it was bad. Whoever does not like this movie is cold. This film is so happy! How could you dislike it?
