Verdict:<\/span> So prim it makes High School Musical look racy<\/p>\n

Rating: \"2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prom is a middle-aged Disney executive\u2019s vision of how high school ought to be. It\u2019s efficiently made, wholesome and hopelessly unoriginal.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Any charm it has is down\u00a0 to the two leads. Aimee Teegarden has the Olivia Newton-John role of the hard-working, strait-laced girl who is organising the prom, but \u2014 despite being the prettiest girl in the school \u2014 hasn\u2019t got a date herself. Sob!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Yawnfest:<\/p>\n

Yawnfest: Unsurprisngly, bad boy Thomas McDonell approaches good girl Aimee Teegarden<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Enter, on a motorbike, bad boy Thomas McDonell (pictured with Ms Teegarden), looking uncannily like a younger, taller Johnny Depp.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I say he\u2019s a bad boy, but he does nothing worse than skip school when he has to look after his younger brother and sneer at the kind of uncool teenagers who attend proms.<\/span><\/p>\n

The drama that ensues may just conceivably surprise girls between the ages of nine and 13. But it is so sanitised, it makes High School Musical look edgy.<\/strong><\/p>\n
