F*&% the Prom is a movie that, unless you follow Fine Brothers Entertainment on YouTube, you've probably never heard of. I've been following the React channels for years, so as soon as I found out they made a movie I was curious. The trailer was actually how I found out what the movie was even about. I watched the trailer and honestly, I was pretty underwhelmed. I'm a big fan of Riverdale, so Madelaine Petsch (Cheryl Blossom) was the only part of the trailer to draw me in. Since the movie was promoted relentlessly on the React channels, I knew I needed to see it. It was written by Benny & Rafi Fine and directed by Benny Fine by himself. They, along with reactors, staff, and actors from the movie all said the movie was good. I'm sorry to say... I didn't like it. F*&% the Prom is about a high school loser who reunites with his popular longtime friend after her best friend kisses her boyfriend. Fed up with high school, the two along with other losers devise a plan to destroy the prom (for being a popularity contest). The movie tries to be deep and moral, but its been done already (and by movies that are much better than this). Madelaine Petsch is pretty much type cast as the high school mean girl now. There are cameos from YouTube stars like IISuperwomanII Lily Singh that are just way too cringy (I did appreciate the reactor cameos though). And everybody says current slang and does nothing but Instagram. You just know it's gonna be dated years from now. Plus the movie feels PG-13, then it turns R rated with several F bombs near the end. F*&% the Prom was just way too cynical for my liking. I went to my prom and it was just okay. I really don't get the whole anti-prom mentality. Just because you don't like something, it doesn't mean you should ruin it for everybody else. Maybe the Fine brothers meant well, but F*&% the Prom misses the mark completely for me. I'm still a loyal subscriber but, F*&% this movie.
