The Prom | Film Review
I'm currently listening to 'The Prom' soundtrack as I write this, which should give you a small clue as to how I feel about the film. A group of Broadway stars in need of some good PR travel to Indiana in order to support a girl who wants to go to the prom with her girlfriend. I loved this film. I have a serious weakness for musicals, and rarely find one that I don't like, but even with that, this was a lot better than I expected it to be. First of all, without knowing anything about the film, the cast is amazing. The film stars Meryl Streep (Dee Dee Allen), James Corden (Barry Glickman), Nicole Kidman (Angie Dickinson), Kerry Washington (Mrs. Greene), Keegan-Michael Key (Principal Hawkins), Andrew Rannells (Trent Oliver), and Jo Ellen Pellman, as our principal character Emma Nolan. No matter how people feel about some of these casting decisions, there is a lot of amazing talent here. And while the actors do a great job, I have to particularly shout-out Andrew Rannells...
