Preview: Prom (2011)

Synopsis:

A comedy about several high schoolers coping with the potential excitement and disappointment of prom.

• Poster: B-

Review:

Frequently chaotic is not a descriptor you want to hear about a poster, but sometimes chaotic works if the concept is right. This poster almost nails the concept making the overflowing bevy of images fit, though the overriding color scheme leaves a bit to be desired and the central image is a bit too '80s.

• Trailer: C; C-

Review:

Another film trying to tap into a teen zeitgeist akin to John Hughes' reign in the '80s. Not going to happen with this film.

Little has changed my opinion of this film since I saw the first trailer. This still looks like inept social drama for teenagers and doens't really speak to very many outside the target demographic and possibly not even within it.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:
