Best friends, Hannah (Julia Lester) and Jess (Antonia Gentry), made a pact at 13 to have a great prom with their dates. They are now high school seniors. Jess finds her boyfriend cheating. Hannah's boyfriend is too clingy and she comes out of the closet. The two best friends suddenly find themselves dateless just 24 hours before prom.
The girls are well into their twenties. That's my first impression and the lasting one. I can't ignore it every time they're on the screen. Most of these 'kids' are well into their twenties. Otherwise, this is a fine raunchy teen comedy. It has a lot of the familiar humor. A lot of it works well except these actors are too old. Maybe there are child labor laws involved. Still, they need actors who look like teenagers.

Jess (Antonia Gentry) and Hannah (Julia Lester) are two friend who many years ago made a blood pact to have the perfect prom and now, hours before the big night, they struggle in finding dates after breaking up with the ones they had.
Director Kim O. Nguyen has very little to offer in her first feature film other than a creativity-free zone. Prom Dates is a movie where its few redeemable aspects in no way make up for its many lacks. As a comedy it goes without saying it aims at humor, but alas, the "comedy" in the movie is nowhere to be found, on the contrary, it often had the opposite effect rendering the whole endeavor a humor-free zone. The characters are all unidimensional and unlikeable in every sense of the word, they go in their lives making uncalled sexual advances bordering abuse and when things do not go the way they want gratuitous violence is they preferred response. Like many teen comedies, its humor many times borders bad taste and manages to elicit anything but laughs. Hannah's proclivity towards vomiting is distasteful, to say the least. To aggravate things further, it has some musical numbers that will make you melancholic about the times when you had to at least try to sing well in order to sing a song. The song where Greg (Kenny Ridwan) proposes Hannah to be his prom date is terrible.
Sexuality is an explored concept in Prom Dates, but the many jokes at the expense of Hannah where a correlation is draw between clothe preferences and sexual orientation, as if being LGBTQIA+ equated certain dress code, is equally simplistic in its stereotyped belief as it is untasteful. As previously said, it has very few redeemable aspects. It is unfunny, badly written, with bad performances, lacking any profundity and plausibility, full of stereotypical characters, and promotes gender violence. It is terrible and definitely one of the worst movies of 2024.

I'm sure we all have watched at least of of these kind of movies, let's say Booksmart ? Or Plan B ? Well that doesn't matter - we are up for a ride on the same rollercoaster, baby !!
The story is about two high school girls and them finding someone to go to prom with, Hannah and Jess are typical annoying confused teens and they are coming out of their adolescence. Female friendship, silly cringe comedy, coming out of age are the major themes.
See, this movie is not some deep cinema or whatever, it is a silly little movie with silly jokes and it is really fun to watch at girls' movie nights, sleepover or by yourself when you need a silly movie to rewind.

Prom Dates hit Hulu on May 3rd and is a nice buddy comedy to kick off the summer. The movie stars Julia Lester and Antonia Gentry as two best friends who have been dreaming of the perfect prom since they were 13 years old. As fate would have it, they find themselves 24 hours away from the big day dateless and willing to do anything and everything they need to have the prom of their dreams.
I would classify this as a very fun and hilarious buddy comedy. It is filled with over the top and sometimes gross jokes that mostly hit, and I overall enjoyed it. If you are looking for a classy movie that is a contender for any awards, I recommend looking elsewhere because that is not what this film delivers. However, if you are looking for a fun watch with lots of laughs, then Prom Dates may just be what you are looking for.

The 2018 blocker's movie was way funnier and had a better cast.
Prom Dates: The Movie is a complete disaster from start to finish. The plot is incredibly cliché and predictable, featuring all the usual high school stereotypes and overused tropes. The acting is wooden and unconvincing, making it hard to feel any real connection to the characters. The dialogue is cringe-worthy and filled with cheesy one-liners that fall flat every time. The pacing is slow and uneven, leaving viewers feeling bored and disinterested. Overall, Prom Dates: The Movie is a forgettable and poorly executed film that offers nothing new or exciting to the teen romance genre."
