If you go into this knowing that it's basically some kid's film project, it's fantastic! Or, it's fantastic if you were drunk while watching it like I was the first time. It wasn't so great 10 years later when I was sober.
It was written, directed, and starred 20-year-old Ash Christian, and it was obviously a school film project that was cultivated during his teen years, and was somehow granted a bigger budget than could be achieved in high school. The bigger budget wasn't really needed as it's nothing you and I couldn't do with our phones and friends. Though I'm sure renting prom props wasn't cheap.
This is a fairly entertaining movie if you like movies that rely only on the verbal exchanges of supposedly witty teen angsters. It's got no real plot, but the general idea is something about the slice of life revolving around the prom. People have compared it to Napoleon Dynamite, but there's a heavy dose of a Will & Grace inspiration, but if Grace was overweight instead of underweight, and Will got laid.
None of the 20-somethings who played the teens look young for their age. Ash doesn't look like a fresh teen, but a man in his 20s who has been sleep-deprived and stressed out from being a triple threat on his first real movie project.
However, if you do enjoy this movie, I recommend watching 29th and Gay. It almost seems like a sequel since they seem so similar.
