Courtney Howard

Variety

Its main friendship dynamic and ensuing shenanigans fail to resonate due to sloppy character construction and a cadre of cringe-worthy circumstances.

Matt Zoller Seitz

RogerEbert.com

It feels like a very long pilot for a Netflix show that would go to series, build a modest but loyal following, then get canceled after two seasons so the streamer doesn’t have to give everyone a raise for going to three. But there's loads of talent.

Rated: 2.5/4

Aurora Amidon

AV Club

Prom Dates’ high-concept plot is simply a vehicle for two things: a succession of funny sequences and a handful of touchy-feely self-discoveries.

Rated: B-

Loud and Clear Reviews

While many rom-coms tend to glorify the high school years and portray them as a lot more glamorous than what they actually are, this movie does not shy away from showing us the most awkward and complicated sides of being a teenager.

Rated: 3/5

Jennifer Green

Common Sense Media

At least a few laughs will be had with this film, but its entertaining lead actors deserved better than this superficially edgy teen escapade.

Louisa Moore

Screen Zealots

Doesn’t cement itself as a teen movie classic, but it accurately captures the essence of senior year shenanigans with humor and heart.

Maybe I'd have liked this better if I hadn't recently watched "Book Smart." I don't know. I loved Julia Lester in "High School Musical: The Musical, The Series" and the rest of the cast here is fine. But the script is predictable and cringy (not in the "this is a teen thing and teen stuff can be cringy" way, but in a "we're moving from plot point A to plot point B and we needed to throw in some stuff that doesn't feel genuine" way), and characters aren't given much to work with. For instance, Greg is definitely written as a caricature the whole film until we need to feel badly for him, when he has a moment of feeling like a real person, only to go back to being a cartoon again at the end. I feel like this was trying to walk a line between Disney YA content and an actual adult movie, to appeal to maybe "edgy" or just modern teens. I don't know how it hit that demographic, but I'm someone who loves YA content and this was just... meh. Wanted to love it, but instead it just killed time while I worked out.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
