High school was a mighty awesome time (hope it was for you too), but we’re glad that it’s over and that we don’t have to deal with it ever again in real life.  As for reel life, we don’t want high school to ever end.  Besides dystopian flicks, it’s one our most favorite genres of cinema.  No joke.  The young and innocent are carefree and fun.  The old are slower paced and complicated.  Certified Copy is old, slower paced and complicated.  Disney’s Prom is young and innocent (PG!!!!), very carefree and a whole lot of fun.  They both happen to be the only films we’ve loved this year.  Yes, you read that correctly, but remember, it’s been a lousy year for movies thus far

Is Prom really that good?  Well, it’s no Mean Girls (remember when Lohan was awesome??!?!?), and it’s not really even all that good, in terms of character, plot and style, but for what it is, it is eggzactly what it aims to be, what it needs to be, and what it is be –  FUN!!!!  And simple fun at that!  Just a bunch of charming teens, who are actually teens and not 39 year olds pretending to be, trying to get their prom on and that’s that.  Nothing more, nothing less

While this film is geared towards the lil ladies (our screening was filled with nuttin but), this one’s for the fellas too.  Dudes, yer telling me you don’t want to watch FNL‘s darling daughter Aimee Teegarden look pretty and wear tight hugging outfits for 100+ minutes????  While she tries her best to be turned off by a handsome Tim Riggins-esque rogue (Thomas McDonell), but of course she’ll eventually let down her goodie-three-shoes guard and fall for him like we did (guess this flick works for straight AND gay men)???  You want to say no to that?  Plus there’s even more candy to look at (Danielle Campbell, Kylie Bunbury and Madison Riley… see below), lovable dorks (Nolan Sotillo and Cameron Monaghan), a guy who looks like a turtle (DeVaughn Nixon), a junior Lloyd Dobler (Nicholas Braun), a stoner who we never see get stoned but loves Rolos so much so that that’s his name  (Joe Adler), Walter White’s jerky bro-in-law (Dean Norris), oldie hotties Faith Ford and Amy Pietz with nothing to do but be old and hotttt, and Emily Valentine from 90210 (Christine Elise) serving milkshakes!!!  If this doesn’t sound like fun to you, then you don’t know what fun is and you should hand in yer fun card and be forced to go back to high school!!!

Prom Dates: if we had to choose (Danielle C is too young), we wouldn’t and take both Teegarden

AND Riley
