I was very impressed with the production quality of this romantic comedy right off the bat. The opening title sequence was perfect and set the tone for the entire film without dragging on gratuitously as many shorts tend to do. The camera work is perfect, especially for a student film. Audio and visual quality were pristine. Two thumbs up on casting. Brianna Wiens was brilliant. The performances by the entire cast were spot on and I'm convinced we'll be seeing at least a couple of them A LOT more in the future. I also enjoyed the music throughout. It was appropriate without overpowering the action on screen. This is a humorous, fun little film with a great payoff at the end - highly recommended, for sure!

Most films are about other films, and few invent new things in the film world. So when something innovative comes around, it is remarkable.

In my eyes acting is one of the most key elements to success or failure of a film. Some film types can survive without superb acting. These motion pictures can entertain the viewer with special effects or intense action scenes. A film based on heavy dialog and back-story can not survive with out excellent actors. One such movie that meets the dialog-based criterion is Prom Night.
There are so many great shots, moments, and quotes from this movie short, that they are just too numerous to list in a review, nor would I want to ruin it for anybody who has not seen it, although I can not fathom why you haven't. If not, it is a must see.
To me this is more than just a short love story, it's an amazing attempt at real comedy that relies on more than just slapstick, situation and screwball alike; the film is an odd beast of basic convention, surrealist humor and come what may. The film is well-paced, never drags, and has its characters pegged pretty well.
It is far from just being a throwback to our own prom night nostalgia. At its core, it's a short that appeals to almost everyone, young or old, and with each and every watch, it should never fail to earn a chuckle or two. It's not too over-the-top to be unrealistic, and it never loses its human touch. Whatever gender or generation you come from, it's sure to win you over time and time again.
