Overview

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.

Occasionally, it's mildly amusing but the conclusions are so soft it hurts.

Anna Smith, Time Out

Except for a couple of nice touches, "Prom" is a remedial class in cliches.

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

Prom is a good-hearted, perfectly watchable bonbon about adolescents with little on their minds besides who will ask or be asked to the graduation night shindig.

Ella Taylor, NPR

They're a ridiculously cute pair and ridiculously at odds over this whole prom thingy, which is, by its very nature, ridiculous. So the ridiculous quotient is extremely high.

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Rotten

Never have the stakes seemed so low for everyone involved. This is a sterile high school environment, lacking anything nearing controversy.
