    Didn't expect to like it as much as I did but it was a great surprise. The soundtrack wasn't perfect for a musical movie but it had a lot of strong points. Act two songs were just *chefs kiss*

    I thought this was going to be my new favourite movie or musical because it's QUEER, but then it turned out to be about these musical people who have nothing to do with their lives and I was VERY disappointed

    not sure how they let james corden’s offensive bumblefuck occur, but it was glee level guilty pleasure for the rest of it (also meryl and nicole <3)

    Feels good to be back at watching musical genre and I kinda the love this. But what the hell is james corden doing here? The amount of cringe I feel towards the scene when he was trying to cry OMG! I just can't.

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    the prom not good. it's cute, meryl and andrew rannels shine (of course), and keegan-michael key has a surprisingly good singing voice! james corden, as expected, sucked. i don't really care about straight actors playing gay characters, but i do care about actors being good at their jobs. like, come on.

    the actresses playing the teenage lesbians both look like they're 30, and jesus christ, who styled emma? someone who hates butch lesbians? because there is no other explanation for those costume choices.

    i cry at a lot of movies, and the prom has all the elements necessary to make me cry: lesbians in high school in a midwestern state, super targeted and highly organized bullying, tension between gay people and their mothers. but it's such an empty movie that i had no emotional response to it whatsoever.

    Review by JJ De La Torre ★★★

    Campy beyond control yet bursting with colour and good vibes, The Prom pulls together a stellar Hollywood cast for a witty small town romp that’s big on musical cheese factor just as much as light hearted positivity.

    Review by Lib ★★★

    Ahhhhhh i wanted to like it so bad, I did i really did. It had all the pieces, the concept was 🤌🏳️‍🌈 but idk man something was just unsatisfying. It just seemed so one dimensional and idk It felt empty. The songs were eh. I love the occasional musical, im not obsessed but Iv been known to boop out to the Heathers sound track now and again. But cast, especially the main girl was very good, she has a very nice voice and pulled off the crappy songs quite well. Nicole Kidman was there...for some reason? I mean I love Nicole Kidman but like she isn’t known for singing so why put her in a musical? James Corden, very good,…

    Okkkkk a few thoughts- I want to see the spinoff melodrama of meryl streep and keegan-michael key's relationship and I need more andrew rannells in my life

    Can we just jettison James corden into deep space to keep him from acting ever again?
