Life Hacks for Lazy People

I would give ‘The Prom’ on Netflix a 2-3 star rating simply for these reasons. The movie concept is a very good one, but i though that the idea of some globally famous movie stars trying to find a ‘cause’ because of their reviews was just a very badly written way to link the musical to Emma and her girlfriend. The way Andrew (whose character i loved, by the way) used a song about how things the ‘mean kids’ did were sins was a really poor idea but then the script writers continued to put that the mean kids changed their entire views on gay people through one song. It’s unrealistic and the whole film dragged on for me - i kept thinking it was going to end but it just kept going on and on about Dee Dee Allen and her boring romance with a high school principal. There were too many songs in it that i didn’t like apart from ‘Just Breathe, Emma’ and Emma’s song she live-streamed. I liked the idea but it should NOT have been a musical. Frankly people like James Corden who can’t even pull off an American accent shouldn’t be playing a homosexual man as a heterosexual. I just think this would have been so much more enjoyable as an indie, coming-of-age film that had one or two, maybe three songs. Take an hour off and you have me. Bit disappointed but there you go.
