Just watched prom pact and I have to say: I'm pleasantly surprised. I went in with caution and stepped out in delight.
Spoilers ahead-
I loved that the m/f main leads are bffs and stay bffs, their romantic relationships with other people are not a higher priority than their friendship, and their personal aspirations and ambitions are not invalidated or ignored at any point.
As far as Disney channel movies go, this one was pretty good writing, especially the details. I loved that graham incorporated the risky business dance and one direction into the prom-posal, that Mandy returned the letter to graham, that her guidance counselor sent a letter of rec for her, that graham took a gap year to figure things out for himself, and so many more things that I can't recollect right now. I'm just really happy that kids today get to see relationships (romantic or platonic) that aren't perfect but you're willing to put in work to make them better.
I'm just happy. It's not the best, i agree. It's just a nice movie and I liked it.
Oh my god, Prom Pact was so good!!! It’s such a fun romcom that centers a m/f friendship and doesn’t compromise on either the friendship or romances and placed all the relationships as equal importance, whether it be platonic or romantic. Also even though it was only for, like, 30 seconds, I can’t believe they implied that two guys were having sex on Disney Channel. Truly romcom of the year!
we were not meant to be romantic, we were just meant to be. Although the love we have for each other is undeniable, and although the love we have for each other exists, it was not meant to stretch beyond the pure unions of friendship.
