The Prom

A group of egocentric Broadway stars face a public relations crisis after their show closes. In an attempt to regain their fame, they travel to the conservative town of Edgewater, Indiana, to help a high school student who has been banned from attending the prom with her girlfriend. What starts as a publicity stunt quickly turns into a cause that the stars become genuinely invested in.

The Prom received mixed reviews from critics. While many praised the vibrant performances, particularly from the lead actors, and the musical numbers, some found the humor to be hit-or-miss and the story to be somewhat predictable and overstuffed. Audience reception was generally more positive, appreciating the film's uplifting message and energetic production.

• Praised for its energetic musical numbers and strong lead performances.

• Criticized for a messy narrative and jokes that don't always land.
