Prom Dates

"It’s a shame better attention wasn’t paid to the characters who are driving the story. Worse, the gimmick ultimately doesn’t hold up beyond act one as it becomes increasingly obvious to everyone but the main characters what the outcome will and should be" 

"It mostly feels like a very long pilot for a Netflix show that would go to series (...) But there's loads of talent in it (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Grating high school comedy is a low-rent disaster (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)" 

"A little too feel-good, at least this prom-com boasts plenty of actual jokes" 

"There’s very little in 'Prom Dates' that entices us to give a damn. The main characters’ motives are foggy at best, and they’re very hastily defined as human beings" 

"It’s not likely to join the ranks of sleepover staples like 'Mean Girls' or 'Clueless', but there are certainly far worse ways to spend 85 minutes" 

"Despite some good jokes, Hulu's teen comedy is only mildly funny (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
