Movie Reviews of Prom Queen
Movie Review: Great Canadian Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
For those fans of Smallville, this movie should be a treat as Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore) plays the main role as Marc Hall. Based on a true story of a senior Catholic high school student in a small town (Oshawa) in the province of Ontario (south of Toronto), Canada, it depicts a confrontation between law and religion.
Marc is a highly intelligent kid in a Catholic high school, he is gay.
Marc has a boyfriend Jason (Mac Fyfe) who he wants to take to the prom. The principal and the board of directors of the school are totally opposed basing their argument on the Church's position on homosexuality. Marc's friends at school are all out to help him so that he can take Jason to the prom. From the collection of eye candy kids, the movie moves along proving the strong family relation between Marc and his accepting parents, the Canadian Union representative at Marc's father local factory who backs him up all the way, the sleazy lawyer who helps taking the case to court and get a moment of fame himself.
The movie is lite even though of the very controversial subject. Marc wins his case but not before he realizes that in his selfish act he forgets about other people's feelings. The movie is obviously a very strong political statement about gay rights, but, the ending proves that sometimes we win if we fight for what we believe in. Marc loose his chance for a scholarship through the school but is backed by a Canadian Union and receives a scholarship through them, making that the fight was worthwhile. Oh yes, he does take Jason to the prom.
This is a great movie for high school gay teens, showing them not to give up in their beliefs. In a couple scenes there is the religious undertone of Marc being chosen for this purpose. All the actors are very cute, a tradition kept in movies. There is a short documentary in the special features showing the real Marc ,his boyfriend, and school friends. They look more ordinary. The actors are probably all Canadian, and the soundtrack is good, again mostly Canadian artists.
Summary of Prom Queen
PROM QUEEN is the story of Marc Hall, a popular, out gay teenager from Ontario. It's prom time, and Marc and his pals are making plans for the big dance. But their dreams of the big night come to a halt when the school tells Marc he can't bring his boyfriend, and the other kids rally behind him to protest this decision. To Marc's surprise, the media picks up the cause, and in time, the decision goes all the way to the Canadian Supreme Court.PROM QUEEN is based on a true story, but is framed as a teen comedy/drama. "Light and fun," says Jason Chow of the National Post, who calls the movie reminiscent of "The Breakfast Club" and "Three O'Clock High." Rising young star Aaron Ashmore stars as Marc, with "Kids in the Hall" veterans Scott Thompson and Dave Foley as Marc's lawyer and his school principal respectively. The film features 14 pop hits from such artists as Melanie Doane and Erasure.Comedy DVD Video
