It looks like Disney is once again attempting to wax the emotional 
tomb of childhood in hopes of snagging a younger audience. I mean, Toy Story 3 played so well with the late high school audience, so why not Prom? Apparently every single person who made this film was home schooled, because nobody thought of prom as importantly as the characters in this film. I'm not sure if it was done the same everywhere else, but my prom would have never even been knocked down to a PG-13 rating. The fact that they managed a PG out of this compromises what high school was. It's not so much insulting as it is annoying. I'm not more upset because I honestly just don't care.

I knew a bunch of people in high school who will gladly see this movie.
ReplyDeleteBy the way did you see win win? It expanded to my local theater and I'm wondering if I should go.
Jose - I haven't come around to it yet. It feels like there are greater films for me to devote my time to. If you end up seeing it, let me know what you thought.
