Alien at the Movies

The Prom

I️t’s “High School Musical” meets “Love, Simon” meets “Footloose” when some self-absorbed has-been Broadway actors & wanna-be-famous unknowns take up the cause for an Indiana high school girl being discriminated against because she want to take her girlfriend to prom. Meryl Streep, James Corden, Nicole Kidman, & Kerry Washington head this fabulous musical comedy cast. If you love musicals, you’ll probably have a good time with the light-hearted humor, dazzling & colorful set designs, lyrical song compositions, well choreographed dance numbers, & a message against discrimination. It’s predictable but still lots of fun to watch as this film is able to poke fun of its own genre.

Alien gives it 3 “Edgewater” stars out of 4.
