Prom and high school graduation are approaching for a group of seniors, but when the prom decorations are destroyed in an act of school vandalism, the class president is left scrambling. With everybody else pre-occupied with finding dates and dresses, Nova is left to rely on the principal forcing the school rebel to help her out. But when he's there for her when she needs it, she starts looking at him in a different light.

When Jesse and Nova are talking after adjusting the speed of the disco ball, Jesse says, "I'm a bad guy who is going no where and that's the only reason." Jesse actually says, "I'm a bad guy who is going no where and that's the only reason I'm here." The words "I'm here" have been dubbed out.

User Reviews

An innocent guilty pleasure! :)

I will freely admit, I'm a sucker for trashy teen films, so obviously I enjoyed Prom. This is a Disney production so don't watch it expecting any of the antics you see in Glee or Skins, these kids are SQUEAKY CLEAN! Even the supposed rebel in the film us quite tame.

In saying that though it isn't extremely Disney either, if you didn't know it was Disney you wouldn't be able to tell. The acting isn't marvelous but a film like this doesn't call for tremendous acting, Aimee Teegarden is pretty enough to just ignore her acting. Also, the soundtrack was impressive.

Cliché yes, bad acting yes, cheesy yes, but hey, its not trying to be the next Mean Girls, so just take it for what it is. :)
