The Prom

This is how should make a musical!

When I first started watching this I was disappointed it was a total musical, (I usually don't watch musicals). However, with the actors in it, I wanted to forgo the music and see what it was like. This movie is incredible. What a wonderful way to bring forth understanding, tolerance, equality, even the songs tell a story. This is a must see for everyone. I cried, laughed & felt so much pride that this was put together

A very gay musical... loved it.

This movie has an amazing message, and that’s what people most overlook when watching it.
Some of the songs are boring but majority of them are so catchy. Love thy neighbour is hilarious! If you want a lighthearted comedy musical with lots of ZAZZ this is the movie for you

an enjoyable musical: good story and message along with catchy tunes.

Fun watch with catchy music and some great dancing in particular. Story is a bit of a paper tiger political crapfest (let's beat up on the Midwest, those old rednecks!) but the musical aspects are solid and characters are generally fun.

Extremely cheesy and dumb storyline. The music and the singing is okay but honestly I only kept watching because of Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman.

Just like the Broadway show of the main cast, a story about inclusion, a famous cast, amazing musics and coreos and strong visuals is not enough to save a movie. You need to be yourself and not an Oscar stunt.

Fast forward through the songs and it will be over in 10 minutes. It wasn't bad but not worth missing your prom for.

When The Prom is full of energy (dance numbers and humour) it is an absolute winner. If they could have kept the energy at 11 the whole way through it would be one of my favourite films of the year. However, none of the slow emotional beats worked. None of it felt earned. I find Ryan Murphy to be a master of tone normally. He can add sad moments that hit where others cannot. It did not work this time though.
