Prom Dates review: A lively entry into the raunchy teen buddy comedy subgenre

A little too feel-good, at least this prom-com boasts plenty of actual jokes

As far back as they can remember, Prom Dates ’ Hannah and Jess always wanted to have a spectacular senior prom. At 13, the two even went as far as to make a blood pact, swearing that they would do whatever it took to make the fateful night one to remember. Flash forward a couple of years and the duo seem to be on the right track. They each have dates lined up. Neither date is perfect.

Perpetually flustered, she turns every small moment into a raucous catastrophe, making for an undeniably uproarious watch. What’s also refreshing about watching Lester in action is that her character is really well-written by screenwriter D.J. Mausner . At first, she veers dangerously close to serving no other purpose than the comic relief bestie , but later on she becomes much more interesting.
