“Prom Pact” definitely surprised me. I won’t lie, I went into this movie with very low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. Although it was very cheesy, it was cheesy in a heartwarming rom-com way. I mean let’s be honest, is a rom-com even a rom-com if it’s not at least a little bit corny?

“Prom Pact” is the newest teenage rom-com to hit Disney Plus. This movie stars familiar Disney Channel stars, Peyton Elizabeth Lee, who plays Mandy Yang, and Milo Manheim, who plays Ben Plunkett. Yang and Plunkett are second-semester seniors who have made it through high school by avoiding high school culture at all costs. Yang is clearly over high school and thinks that she is above it all while Plunkett is longing to get more involved.

Yang and Plunkett are pulled out of their normal routine of waffles and movies when Yang is waitlisted from her dream school, Harvard. In the midst of a scheme to get Yang into Harvard, she and Plunkett are pushed into new situations and forced to embrace the high school experience.

All in all, it was a really cute movie. I was expecting the main love story between Yang and the popular jock Graham Lansing (Blake Draper) to make me nauseous, but by the end of the film, I was dying to see them get together.

Although I really enjoyed “Prom Pact, there were definitely many cringe-worthy moments. For example, obviously, the movie is about prom, so there were many very public and very embarrassing promposals that made me severely cringe. However, it’s all part of the movie’s appeal. And not all of the promposals were bad. One of my favorite moments of the movie was when Lansing asked Yang to prom.

With it being prom season, this is the perfect movie to watch if you’re in the mood for a cute rom-com. Just make sure that you are prepared to cringe a little.
