At "Prom," every couple has a story and no two are exactly alike. Several intersecting stories unfold at one high school as the big dance approaches; "Prom" portrays the precarious passage from high school to independence as some relationships unravel and others ignite. For Nova Prescott (Aimee Teegarden), it's a battle of wills as she finds herself drawn to the guy (Thomas McDonell) who gets in the way of her perfect prom. Fellow seniors Mei (Yin Chang) and Tyler (De'Vaughn Nixon) harbor secrets, while others face all the insecurity and anticipation that surrounds one of high school's most seminal events. There are hundreds of nights in high school, but there's only one "Prom."

At it's best, it serves as a reminder to the past, almost encapsulating the exact drive the characters have towards making prom great - it's everything, thrown out on the line, for one night: the last night. At it's worst, well, it serves as a reminder to the past, a time of naivety that we've all surely grown out of. Don't expect weighty conflicts or anything of that nature, as the film is equipped with nothing of the sort. That said, it's worth the watch, if not solely for unlocking the whole of one character's upbringing and demeanor.

I really liked it but thats not the way prom is. At least it wasn't for me. We didn't all come together we were just all in the same place. I guess that's why I liked it, the fact that it brought people together, even the most unlikely of people.

I actually really enjoyed this movie. I went into it with fairly low expectations, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a little cheesy at some parts, and pretty predictable, but still really fun to watch.
