Prom Pact (2023)
9/10
Very cute
31 March 2023
The closest thing I've seen to a John Hughes movie, without it being a John Hughes movie. I was hoping for more of a Pretty in Pink ending, so I can only do a 9/10. It just made me too nostalgic for an actual John Hughes film. Overall it's a cute movie about friendship and covers the stereotypes of classic high school cliche movies. It just was missing something or needed a bit more. I can't put my finger on it. It needed a big moment or elaborate gesture or something. I also am unsure of how well our main protagonist actually follows her own beliefs about single use plastics and being a vegan, etc. You can be a feminist without being all those things, but if you are going to have a character like that it should be consistent. While watching it I almost forgot it was a Disney movie, but maybe it could have been better if it wasn't so family friendly. Just some thoughts. Give it a chance for sure!
