PROM


The movie starts of with a group of people prepare for their college Prom night, they’re all great looking. A cross between Keanu Reeves and Johnny Depp, who incidentally is playing Depp’s younger self Young Barnabas Collins in the vampire outing Dark Shadows. There’s not an average looker or poor performance in the bunch. These add the extra crunch in the movie and makes it far more interesting through their performances.

The kids are preparing for prom in their own interesting and unique ways on the other hand some ask their dates out early, some are scared to, others decide they’ve lost out before they start; some are eternal optimists who just know they’ll be there with someone special when the Prom King and Queen are named, And it’ll be them, for sure.

The buzz phrase is “it doesn’t matter who you’ve been for four years… were all the same at Prom” is slightly frightening but intended to be welcoming and inclusive.
Teegarden’s Nova is in charge of Prom night, ironically called Starry Night. It’s her duty to decorate the gym, arrange the King and Queen competition, delegate helpers and get it done. They begin well, but one by one she’s abandoned by her deputized friends and takes the load on herself.

The riskiest and most interesting character is Tyler (Nixon) whose considerable charm and good natured attitude masks low down behavior and absurd views towards women. He’s juggling girls, he inadvertently burns down the prom prop house and all Nova’s decorations, and keeps it secret, and carries on regardless. This is again another very important character and a hilarious one to whom I assure you will love to watch as he keeps the movie interesting.

The film’s no intellectual or cinematic exercise, but it’s easy going and likeable, good clean fun for Prom-goers and heavy on the eye candy, And it’s interesting that each character has a defined and separate experience from the others. I would recommend every one to watch this movie who love to experience a taste of Prom. The problems the kids face are diverse and realistic.
