Prom

Prom follows Nova Prescott as she gears up for the biggest night of her high school career, trying to orchestrate a flawless experience that lives up to her own standards. But the path to the dance complicates as she finds her attention pulled toward Jesse Richter, a guy who seems to upend her carefully planned image. The school corridors hum with whispers and schemes. Mei and Tyler carry concealed truths that ripple through their friend group, challenging loyalties and trust. Other seniors wrestle with nerves and expectations about first loves, perfect outfits, and the pressure to make the prom a memory that lasts a lifetime. Lucas Aman and Corey Doyle mix into Nova's orbit, injecting rivalries and mischief.

Directed by Joe Nussbaum, Prom arrived in 2011 as a contemporary teen romance comedy drawn from an original screenplay by Katie Wech, with Aimee Teegarden starring as Nova Prescott and Thomas McDonell as Jesse Richter. The supporting cast includes Nolan Sotillo as Lucas Aman and Cameron Monaghan as Corey Doyle, with Danielle Campbell as Simone Daniels in frequent scenes that weave the social map of the prom night. The film also uses a bright energetic soundtrack and colorful high school settings that match the upbeat tone.

Its production budget was about 8 million, and Prom grossed roughly 10.13 million worldwide, making it a modest performer for a teen centric Disney release globally.

Critics treated Prom as light entertainment aimed at teen viewers, balancing humor with sentiment. The themes resonate with teen audiences today who navigate social media, dating, and self discovery, and the film allows room for humor and heartfelt moments without heavy melodrama.

For viewers who remember their own prom nights, the film's fashion and playlist evoke a nostalgic time capsule vibe, with outfits and songs that echo 2010s teen culture.
