MY THOUGHTS:

I really liked this movie.  It is a classic teenager movie about relationships, cliques and going to Prom.  The characters in the movie all have their own relationships and problems, but Prom brings everything together.  The main characters though are a classic good girl and bad boy, but there are many other great characters that surprise and make you laugh!  The movie doesn’t have any sex, bad language or anything inappropriate so it is really good for any ages.  I think teens and pre-teens would really like this movie, I mean I did and I’m way to old for it!  I really like how the characters deal with going away to college issues, cheating, being a third wheel in a relationship, being dateless for Prom, and most importantly not judging someone without getting to know them.  It does have some great lessons in it.  The music is fun and modern, I actually think I’d like the soundtrack too!  The Blu-ray combo set is probably the best bet too since it comes with the Blu-ray and DVD discs.
