The Big Picture Production company American High has been making a name for itself in the teen comedy space, carving out a niche of films that embody the spirit of beloved John Hughes classics while giving them a modern twist. From Plan B to Crush, they’ve put out some real gems that tackle current issues of everything from the morning-after pill to coming out with a blend of raunchy humor and heartwarming moments.
'Prom Dates' Lacks Characterization and Nuance Close The main reason Prom Dates doesn’t always work is its confused tone, as it tries to mix the humor of American Pie with the quirkiness of Booksmart and the message of a Disney Channel Original Movie. The story itself feels aimed toward pre-teens like 2011’s Prom or 2023’s Prom Pact, though the way it’s told keeps it from being appropriate for that audience, with the comedy and content more Blockers-esque.
The Humor of 'Prom Dates' Is a Mixed Bag Luckily, despite its downfalls, Gentry and Lester have charisma and chemistry — enough to make watching them bounce off one another for an hour and a half a good time. They each fully commit to the often outlandish moments, and their banter and friendship are where the movie shines brightest.
