Aimee TeegardenProm

I thought I was ordering the Meryl Streep, James Cordin movie that has the exact same name. Turns out that one is on Netflicks not Amazon Prime. Instead, I received this movie that should only be shown on the Lifetime network. It was silly, dull and did not feature a single actor with a name that I recognized. Basically, it is about a high school prom that eventually goes on successfully despite a fire that destroyed the original decorations. I just saved you $3.99!

Okay, so many reviews are down on this movie...stating things like "how many cliches can Disney fit in one movie" and "Same old stories". For the record, I agree with these statments. BUT, I am a child of the 80's....remember Breakfast Club? Talk about cliches...a nerd, jock, princess, goth, pot head. I LOVED Breakfast Club at the time. I still enjoy it, but it doesn't speak to me like it did when I lived that part of a persons life (I was in highschool when Breakfast Club came out). I think the same can be said about Prom. My oldest daughter loves it...I can feel she relates to much of this like I did Breakfast Club. I liked the movie in that it was pretty G-rated stuff....no real heavy message about sex or drugs....just typcial teenage anxst and drama.This movie wont appeal to many people over 30, but it speaks right to the teens..and that is normal. I am neutral on Disney....neither a huge fan, nor do I hate them for producing market-specific movies.If you have early teen boys or girls I think they will like this movie. As a parent, I can watch it with my kids and not groan or be overly bored. It does highlight the energy of youth and the desire to fit in yet make a statement. Hopefully this review will help balance the previous reviews. I just don't think this is a horrrible, 2 star movie.If you can get this for under $10 including shipping I think you won't be dissappointed.

I rented this movie because my eight year old daughter really wanted to watch it, I thought - great another tween movie that keeps on playing Firework.The first twenty minutes seem to drag with a very Disney like perception of what's important to an eighteen year old. Oddly though I got sucked into this and really enjoyed it. The depiction of the final weeks at high school with no teenage debauchery makes for a very refreshing change, honestly it does! Unrealistic but a feel good movie.You will find yourself caring about the characters and in the end feel like shouting "YES" as the jock/player teen gets his comeuppance.A really nice feel good family movie from Disney I recommend it highly.

Touching and surprisingly funny, uplifting, and accurate depiction of high-school for its time period.Without becoming obsessed with teen problems, the film manages to affirm the following profound themes:(1) Young love(2) The excitement, sense of opportunity, and uncertainty of growing up(3) Social inequality(3) Family-friend tension(4) Duty and responsibilityI had a blast watching with my family. I think this is a perfect film for young people and adults, separately or together.

I knew going in it was a teen rom/com but for 2 bucks I was like, what the heck. It's on the order of Ten Things I like About You. Replace Heath Ledger with a much cuter guy but the acting wasn't as good and the story plot was preteen at best. What torked me was almost at the end the audio/video messed up and I had to wait for the thing to reload and finish, first time thats happened to me. It was OK but I wouldn't watch it again, even for 2 bucks.

I bought this for my 10 year old daughter after reading reviews online. I wasn't disappointed. It had a cute story, taught some little lessons, had some cute romances and kept my daughters and my attention. I was happy that except for a small fight that they used to teach a lesson it was very clean and safe for my daughter to watch. I was surprised that it kept my attention as well. Good for teens and pre-teens.

Great

This movie was better than I expected. It was a little edgier than a normal Disney movie. Even though it was PG, it seemed like a movie that a high school senior experiencing prom could appreciate. Yes, the high school prom, college, jock, bad boy themes are all cliche and a little played out, but if you're ok with that, I think you'll really enjoy this movie as I did.

Thank you so much this is in perfect condition recommend

Since I've never been to prom I always like watching movies about it. This movie is quite nice. The romance is not very surprise, but still nice to much. Good film for a rainy afternoon.

This is just your typical high school, rom-com but I think it's pretty good to watch with your kids or partner.

Very watchable. Teengarden is a star show.

My teenage daughter loved it.
