Praise for The World’s Best Prom
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“The World’s Best Prom captures adolescent insight with wit and compassion. In cheddar's heartland, you might expect this full-on embrace of cheese, but you'll be surprised to find yourself cheering along.”
MAYA RUDOLPH
“It's like your senior prom, plus the Super Bowl plus the Oscars all in one. Every town should have 'The World's Best Prom.' You will LOVE this movie. If you don't then you are lying.”
US WEEKLY
“Fun, touching and completely unforgettable – exactly what every prom should be!”
ABC NEWS NOW
“Taking the prom a lot further than even John Hughes could have envisioned – a lot of fun and definitely worth checking out.”
BOB FISHER, SCREENWRITER OF “WEDDING CRASHERS”
“Hilarious and poignant. Any town that would turn its prom into a televised red carpet event has either got something really right about it or something really wrong. The fact that I still can't decide made me love this film all the more. A smart and funny look at adolescence and its ultimate ritual.”
