Ahh!!! after 10000 years i'm free! :P I agree with you completely though, hells bells this movie (hell even just that one scene) makes old school power rangers look like Shakespeare :D
@@WillieManga I agree. I love Power Rangers, and have been watching it since I was a little boy in the 90's, and even though they almost always had corny dialogue, i loved it. As I got older, I remember taking Power Rangers just a bit more seriously, despite them being corny and as you put it, campy. Still love the series. Even if I may not watch it now, I still respect how great the series is. Hell, my favorite english anime voice actor started out AS a Power Ranger! I even loved the Power Rangers Turbo movie. And 2 of my favorite Power Rangers are also played 2 different versions of the same character, which I didn't know until later. But there's no saving the dialogue in this movie. Way too cringey for ANYONE to believe. Like it's from another dimension or something...
I hate how all the “losers” in these bad movies are always super attractive people who clearly know they’re super attractive. “Oh no, you’re smart, pretty, funny, athletic, and talented? I can see why everyone hates you.” Movies like Superbad actually got kids who weren’t conventionally attractive. They understood why a kid might be unpopular. Movies like this try to make us believe the kids who would obviously be popular are somehow hated.
Superbad was a great movie because no one was overly attractive. Even the girls that Seth & Evan are trying to get laid with aren’t unrealistically attractive and they looked like actual high schoolers
Not really. They understand that technology has advanced and that the movies and TV shows are different from the ones in the 80s. But they dont understand that how teenagers interact has changed.
Speaking as a modern adult, the Fine bros are cringe merchants who wouldn't know satire if it wrote a glowing review of their material and praised their business savviness.
It's a weird self-fulfilling prophecy. Writers can't be bothered to do research, so they just copy what they've seen before. So you get the same tropes about high school recycled over and over again. It's like how every old person on TV is recycling old person tropes from, like, the 1950s, even though for that to make sense they'd have to be about 150 years old.
@@rochelle1199 that's a little extreme... that's their livelihood and the livelihood of some of the reactors. Maybe just have the kid's parents keep an eye on them when in studio.
I'm no longer baffled by anything the finebros come up with after their idea to copyright and license the reaction video format. It's like those two are not really people, but rather reptilian martians without a grasp of basic social conventions trying to masquerade as people
Steven Zhu I pointed this out to someone else, but that has nothing to do with creativity. If anything very creative people tend to be controlling or greedy.
Man, it’s not even just that he didn’t reference those movies well, I hate that the guy who was doing the little promo thing could only think to describe his film as a mishmash of other films. Says a lot about his confidence in his craft.
I will never under stand why he didnt just say "Yeah we ruined your night, but you ruined our lives" Thats much more poetic and is like the obvious follow up line
@@GippyHappy Either would work, and possess less offensice capabilities than "We didn't shoot up the school. None of us committed suicide." Seriously, what Dunce thinks this is great?
@@insulam821 exactly Like you said, all the characters are flawed but still manage to be likeable at the same time and develop as the story involves F the prom on the other hand just made a bunch of unlikeable characters who can't act and didn't bother to give us a reason to root for them
Funny how media loves to see depth, meaning and beauty in children's behavior, but when it comes to teenagers they think they can be as shallow and stupid as possible as long as they're sELf aWaRe
eh, fucking something up the ass and ruining the fun just because you hate it is perfectly in line with teenager behaviour tbh, thats 1 thing this movie gets right
Yeah, I couldn't afford an outfit (I had no formal wear at all, and knew I'd have to pay for it out of pocket from doing the odd job or two) and I wanted to drink and have a chill weekend, so I spent the night with a bottle of red wine and played WoW with my friends instead. No regrets there :D But I did hear the next week the dance was shut down because people spiked the drinks with LSD and a few couples were openly have SEX on the dance floor. So being a mature introvert has its perks.
It's one of those things that's so common in small town American and so sad at the same time, like, being on the football team or cheerleading squad, or, really anything in highschool being the highlight of your life is jut...well it shows how little you've progressed at best.
Temmie Plays! And that’s y amazon prime is inferior because we all now just putting the laugh cry emoji shows us that it’ll be some good top level content
Every high school movie, no matter what positive message they think they convey, it always comes out the total opposite. "Don't worry about not being popular. You'll get the hot girl anyway." "It's okay to be a virgin. You still have time to get laid before senior year." "Think you're unattractive? Don't worry. It's just your glasses."
@@spaghettioverlord3247 I agree. Superbad is pretty much the ONLY high school movie the entire world needs. Although Ferris Bueller's Day Off is still classic, and there's some things to like about the Breakfast Club, I guess? I don't know, I wasn't there when the movies were made. But seriously, Superbad is the ONLY high school movie any of us need, 'nuff said.
Easy A, Mean Girls, Superbad, The Duff etc. etc. i think still hold up as good high school/teen life movies that don’t undermine the message, capture certain universal elements of high school life we all have to deal with and or have experienced, and still manages to capture the fucking horrible undertones that is the human experience especially the adolescent stages.
does it bum anybody else out that the Fine Bros have spent YEARS interacting with kids, had them on their React channel so many times that they'd come back as high school and even college students, and somehow, with all that time to get to know them, couldn't write a god damn sentence that sounded like an actual teenager? How? What the hell were they doing this whole time?
So.... all that work went out of the window. That is, if they actually bothered to take down some notes or bother to integrate their experiences into the movie, which, given this movie, I doubt it.
"We didn't shoot up the school. None of us commited suicide." "Oh I see, so I'm not allowed to adress the issue I'm having here until there's at least one dead body present?"
Much like the home schooled Fine Bros drawing their prom experience from other, better films, his ankle experiences are from videos of other, more legged people.
The father character is honestly way, way, WAY too far. Every single thing he said was absolutely disgusting, unacceptable, and completely unjustifiable. This movie is for young teens. I'm almost 20, and it made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable. The Fine Bro's should be bloody ashamed of themselves.
If Super 8 called the cops on his father for several sexual remarks towards a minor and is sentenced to 15 years in prison plus an occasional beating by fellow inmates, the movie would be much better.
they are vile individuals who used to make gross vids w/ Shane Dawson staring a puppet named Milly. check out D'angelo Walice for more information, you can find the information on his newest Shane Dawson vid
"it's only statutory if you get caught" Yikes. Even the minds behind South Park couldn't make that creepy ass joke work. Wtf is wrong with you, FineBros?
It's ridiculous. Somehow, South Park depicting Indiana Jones LITERALLY being raped by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg is more tasteful than that joke or the entire movie.
" Prom King was the highlight of my life" Shouldn't the highlight of your life be something like getting your son, like the son you're speaking to at that very moment ?????????
Don't get me started. If Prom's the highlight of your life, then I give you my condolences on such a pathetic life. The high points of your life should be getting your son, getting married to the person you love, and even getting that dream job or starting that company you've dreamed of starting. Prom isn't a highlight, since it's so superficial.
nah they only sue small channels which have no chance of fighting back. while i think about it this movie might be a try to cope with their own behavior on youtube
You'd think that a couple of guys who make their living by recording candid reactions of teenagers would have a better feel for how modern teenagers speak and act.
I wonder if my "Impact" a James Grider novel on Amazon depicts accurately how a fifteen year old would speak. Sometimes James speaks like he is a goddamn character in a Pendergast novel by Preston and Child.
The sexual jokes there make me think uncomfortable thinking these guys have teenagers and kids around them all the time. These two are a couple of store-brand Dan Schneiders
It bugs me of how inaccurate this movie is compared to high school. Prom is just an end of the year celebration for students leaving. It’s not that deep, anyone can go. 💀
@@lollythefamouscommenter3970 I think I might have that at my school. But we also nominate our seniors for different things as well. But yeah prom is not like some exclusive popularity contest. Even a freshman can go if you’re invited by a junior/senior!
@@VampKat a lot of people ditches it altogether. Rich kids just go overseas and can't put it on hold for the prom, a lot of kids just find it boring because alcohol makes or breaks their parties and prom can't allow it. It's really not important at all.
“If *being prom queen* is gonna make you happy, then go for it. But *don’t* you dare *listen to what anybody else says.* Just be yourself.” The point of being king/queen is to have everyone love you. So it’s pointless.
Isagail another big-mame youtuber who thought his generation couldn’t do any wrong and tried to emulate a movie director in the attempt to get more credibility and a lot more money. And only the latter worked
Are you kidding me? The reaction today would probably go way past what is reasonable. It's probably considered sexual assault in today's whiny, milquetoast, there-are-no-winners world. This movie plays out like it's still the '80s yet insists on selfies and emojis and modern pop culture being referenced every five minutes .
Why you should use memes and references in your movie: Pro: - Someone from the audience *might* get a laugh of it *if* they watch it while the meme/reference is still a thing *and* if they think the meme/ref is funny - ? Contra: - Anyone who doesn't know the meme/ref won't find any humour in it and will have no idea what it's supposed to convey - Anyone who watches the film after the meme/ref is "dead" will think it's not funny, just cringy and outdated - It usually doesn't progress the plot or improve the dialog at all - If used incorrectly you will undeniably prove how out of touch you are with actual pop culture - If used by "smart" characters you'll make them look hella dumb Clearly, the pros outweigh the cons.
they probably had that mentality of "offensive = funne". it's a pretty uninspired and untalented way of humor when you don't know how to tell a good and funny joke.
The dialogue and "jokes" in this movie are so tone deaf, honestly. I get black comedy can be funny, but there's something called being tactful and it's something movies like this don't understand, you really can't do black comedy well without tact. Really most types of comedies require tact, but black comedy especially.
I haven't seen the whole review yet but I'm guessing the movie ends with a kid in his underwear patting himself on the back for not shooting up the school. EDIT: Wow. I actually got it right.
So I learned something that makes this movie worse: Apparently the Fine Bros were homeschooled They didn’t go to public school _THEY MADE A MOVIE ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL PROM WHEN THEY WERE HOMESCHOOLED_
But of course. I mean to be fair I don’t know what public highschool was like for you, but it’s actually more of a gray drag of anxiety and depression. Nobody really acts like this because we all just want to die before the entire world burns. An accurate film would be a bunch of teens sitting on benches slowly eating their small snacks within our 30 minute break and looking half asleep.
@Xyre154 It would count if they adopted a more humble approach, conducted research regarding high school teenagers -- their likes, dislikes, etc. -- by actually *asking* them about their world.
@@daniboy4153 I mean Its not rlly Netflix's fault Its mainly just they buy rights for certain amounts of time When the time is up they aren't *allowed* to have the film anymore
I agree. What gave these asshats the right to try and ruin one of the best anime ever by bringing it up in this pile of flaming garbage. Mustang, light 'em up! And Alphonse and Edward, please, do your thing while Lt. Hawkeye and Prince Yao beat down these assholes.
Same with the whole "battle for prom queen" No one cares, no one remembers who won, and the winner, at least at my school, wasn't someone popular. They were someone who everyone just generally liked
Yeah we had a guy with disabilities win prom king lol like it isn’t just all about a popular contest, there is more important parts of life than fulfilling vanity
yeah, like school dances don’t really mean anything. literally it’s just a bunch of sweaty kids in “formalwear” dancing around in a hot, dimly lit gym for a couple hours so they can leave and go a probably more fun afterparty
I really like to think the line "we didnt shoot up the school; none of us commited suicide" was supposed to hit hard about social issues but it just sounded like a 13 Reasons Why joke
Hell in my school, there are no bullies. People give each other equal shit, and peoples problems are more about their "significant other" or saying how shitty a teacher is.
@a ninja, same with my school, it is pretty friendly. My last school had only 2 bullies, but it was only verbal and never like pulling down someones pants or shit like that, lmao.
I can actually confirm that as a freshman my friend DID pull my classmate's pants down (not too low though). But nobody around them including me really gave a shit besides my friend and his other friends.
The Fine Brothers profited off others peoples talent for years, that was their basic business strategy. Why would anyone think they have enough talent for an hour and a half movie?
Why is it that almost every movie about high school is exactly the same and also completely wrong about what high school is like? Do script writers and movie producers not remember their high school years?
Actually I would definitely recommend this movie. especially to aspiring filmmakers and writers on what not to do, I'm not even saying this sarcastically, the writing is so backwards that by literally doing the exact opposite you would make a much better product, It's actually made me go back on some of my writing and ask myself "is this too much like F the prom?" and see what I can do to change that, In those regards it's a perfect movie on what not to do.
It's truly amazing that not a single person involved in this production thought to question aloud whether it would look bad if the "hero" of the movie told his classmates to feel lucky he didn't bring a gun to the school and massacre them all.
Cue the obligatory "Somehow Palpatine returned" jokes. I don't get why people hate that line. Yeah, it's nothing special and them not explaining how he comes back was dumb, but that line by itself is fine.
@@destructiveblade7446 That makes sense, but if there was an explanation for him coming back, I think that line would still be in the movie. It's not the worst Star Wars line of all time. The dialogue in Attack of the Clones makes it look like Shakespeare.
oh my gosh i saw this on netflix and read the reviews mostly disturbed by the inappropriate comments made by adults about minors and like.........now i know it's written by.....the two dudes who made....kids react....and teens react.....that's just wonderful
Why is it that in every one of these movies, the "unpopular" people are always the spinning image of Western beauty. It's almost as if they're doing it because it's more profitable than if they were accurately represented.
I thought after he said "we ruined your night" they'd have gone with the predictable but valid "but you've ruined years for us" but they couldn't even manage that.
The movie tries to tackle the issue of bullying as well as the issue of blaming other people for your own problems and insecurities but somehow manages to portray neither of them in a realistic of understandable manner. It almost felt like it tried to justify school shootings and blame suicides on popular kids. What's up with that?
@@WillieManga Thank you. I hate that show with a burning passion. And I try and avoid it whenever possible. It's baaaaaaad. Possibly the worst sitcom in existence, next to 2 And A Half Laughs, or as it was called here in the west, 2 and a half men, but i think 2 and half laughs is what the show should've been called.
@@WillieManga ...Yeah, you might be right about that. There's NO way in hell that show got 2 and a half laughs. Not even a pity laugh, just an awkward laugh, like when you hear a bad joke, or when someone asks you something you don't know how to reply to, so you just awkwardly laugh it off, which is 95-99% of that show's "jokes". Same with the Big Bad, And No Laughs Other Than An Obnoxiously Stupid And Annoying As Hell Laughtrack Theory. The shortened title would be The Big Bad Theory, or just, The Absolutely Zero Laughs Theory, But At Least We're Not 2 And A Half Men... Theory. Whichever one sounds the funniest to you, dude.
"It's only statutory if you get caught" From the people who brought us "kids react". Maybe it's not a coincidence that they made content that would give them a steady stream of children teenagers.
Tickle My Taint I wonder if anyone has ever looked into this? At the least I would point this movie to parents whose kids have been offered a spot in one of their videos
Junior high student here. Unless you're on the side of the regular people, then yes, if it involves teens, and hot guys, or girls, then they'll totally eat it up. But also in this stage we find things we are passionate about, so we tend not to. I like cars and history, so I watch and read that kind of stuff. Plus why watch something we're going through? That'll only make us feel bad/good depending on how you do at school. *Insert Normies vs. Outsiders since that's essentially the topic.*
As a certified high school student, no, no not really. Not too many of us watch movies that actually center around the characters in school. I think most prefer characters that are of high school age, but the plot not involving school.
Has anyone who writes these teen comedies actually been to highschool? It's amazing to me, because there's a huge amount of material to work with without having to resort to stupid cliches.
@@ogfridgeman5546 I think it's because the statement "why don't you do better" implies that an amateur can do better than a professional filmmaker at times, meanwhile the amateurs make crap like this. I don't agree but that's what I think the logic is.
@Rando Yeah. I think "why don't you do better" is actually an ad hominem, attacking the person (you're not good enough to make something even as crummy as this movie!) and not the argument.
True, but it needs to be executed right. With my Grunkle Stan reference, the audience is shown that Stan is a conman and a criminal. The audience knows that he's a morally corrupt man, and what he does is not encouraged, But with that freaky Principle, the scene almost romanticizes the idea of minors getting together with older people! The same goes with art, even if it's made to be disturbing, if it has good quality and skill added to it, anything can get by with me really. This scene did not.
deus vult I came up with it (or at least I think I did, I could have absorbed it online from any number of sass filled interactions over the last ~15 years or so)
Pro tip: Heat up the bit of your boots that's rubbing against your foot with a hairdryer and walk around your room for a bit. The softer material is easier to break in and you're less likely to get blisters.
as an 18 year old, i’m kinda confused why grown men think high school is like this at all. maybe some people get bullied i don’t know we hardly had any at my school, we would just fuck around and make jokes then be absolutely miserable from our classes. nobody was ever this spastic or spoke this weird, we just hated waking up at 5 am and being stuck in a concrete building with fluorescent lights all day. the fine brothers don’t know how to write movie, they just tried to make money
Been awhile since i was in school, but most bullying happened in elementary school. By high school everyone had their clique but no one really did anything to anyone.
I mean, we definitely had bullying, but it was more of the general "everyone hates themselves and is therefore awful to everyone" sense...we had bigger problems
The first few times I passed by it while I was scrolling on Netflix, I genuinely thought it was called "The FProm" and I continue to call it that to this day.
It’s been 4 years and he hasn’t finished half of the worst 100 movies on IMDb, but someday he will, and we’ll finally discover the worst movie ever made. Maybe it’ll be 2023 or even later but still I’m excited for it.
@@altaparks3627 Arguably, yeah. The director intended to make this movie unenjoyable from every possible angle: the text is always slightly off center, the camera angle is always as unflattering as possible, the characters are all obnoxious assholes, there is unsatisfying gross-out everywhere, etc. Here's one example: There is one animated scene where a man rips off another man's lower jaw. There is barely any blood, the reaction is delayed, the sound effect was scratchy, and the impact on the character getting hurt was almost non-existent. To people who do not like gross-out, this scene is repulsive. To people who do like gross-out, this scene is unsatisfying. This scene is just irritating to everyone watching it. And the WHOLE MOVIE is like that. The only positive thing I can say about the whole film is that it accomplished what it wanted to- it invoked a negative reaction out of nearly everyone who watched it.
Sometimes i wonder if people who make highschool movies ever even went to highschool. It's been about 4 years since I graduated, so maybe my knowledge is ~inaccurate~ but in high school nobody gave much of a shit about other people? We were all busy with our own shit.
1. The Fine Bros were homeschooled so no they don't know what highschool is like, 2. You're accurate in basically everything, but the ''busy with our own shit'' part has become ''self-absorbness'' (pretty sure it's not a word but whatever)
Apparently high school in the past when the writers and directors went to it also was more like that. Nowadays it has supposedly changed for better with amongs other the disappearence of "the cliques" (nerds, jocks, etc). At least that's what I read. 21 Jump Street bases it's humour on the fact that high school environment has changed for example while this movie holds a perception of stasis.
RanDOM D00D Your second point isn't true at all. I graduated in 2017 and the vast majority of our class were completely fine people. I only met a few people who were outright jerks, but they were actually the outcasts. The rest of the school fit into their own social groups and didn't bother those they didn't identify with. There was friendly rivalry between the band kids versus the sports etc, but there was basically no actually infighting or bad blood. All in all people just did their own thing, just as Jesswhatever said.
During my father's time in the 70's, hazing and initiation were common. He got the 'grandfather cut' aka seniors shaved the top of his head when he entered as a freshman. Nowadays, nobody would even think of it. I don't know of anyone who's gotten a swirlie, stuffed in a locker, or anything else cliche. I was lucky enough to go to a high school (2015 grad) that didn't have a hierarchy. Golf was our best sport; football didn't exist. In the next high school over, where they were reigning football champions, you still stuck to your own group and didn't care. The only exception was gang violence between bloods, crips, and other Varrio turf wars. And that was considered separate.
It kind of annoys me when people say teenagers are shallow. I knew people at that age who were less shallow than the vast majority of adults I've interacted with.
The funny thing about these movies is that the creators who always try to write movies where the popular kids "get what they deserve" are always the ones who seem to be living in the past. High schoolers aren't always conspiring against one another, and when they do, it usually doesn't pan out as planned bc they're teenagers and seldom do those people end up being regarded as "cool kids". I'm in high school now, and it sucks, but even the worst kids at my school deserve more credit than this Also, how could anyone see that school shooting/suicide comment as anything less than poor taste? Yikes
It seems like that line might've been trying to reference Heathers, another older high school movie that's on a much higher tier than this garbage (that movie executed dark humor a lot better and did involve teenage suicide and murder as part of the plot).
I agree that Heathers is so much better, and I find it funny how this piece of garbage demands money to be viewed and nowadays you can have a much better experience watching Heathers here on UA-cam
The year this movie came out I was in my last year of high school and was at the bottom of the social hierarchy. I’ve been bullied but not exactly from those at the top. Also it’s far less intense than the movie portrays it.
and even the 'reject' kids group are so off the mark as a group of conventionally attractive kids. A real reject kids group would have some kid being picked on for being disabled, fat, their race etc. But instead, like pointed out in the vid, you get moderately handsome athletic guy- who even if he was rebuffed by his team mates clearly has another group of openly gay guys in the school he could hang with or the tons of girls who already hang out with gay guys in their high school. smh, all those ' teens react to ' vids they made and they couldn't ask any of those teens about the real high school experience
I think its more of an issue with "we went to high school 30 years ago and don't realize that times have changed". Instead they go only based on what highschoolers and such say about school life, while realizing that those fucknuggets are still too young to explain and describe anything in a reasonable manner so in part it is them to give these shoddy film makers the idea that its all about emoji, texting, sex and about being popular/unpopular. I think that in general its best to never confine your film into a school and its surroundings. Even if it was done "well", it would be so uninteresting that its not worth a movie. In general these fucking teenager movies need to go as they never offer anything wortwhile. Especially when the biggest worry for a teenager is "oh my gooood I'm not pooopulaaar, oooh my good I have a test and I need to study for it". That's not interesting!
Kimi FW or the joke and punchline have to be surrounded by total absurdity (ex. Eric Andre Show, South Park) otherwise, the joke falls flat on its face
@@seancoughlin350 Yeah, I didn't fully agree with the idea that the reactions should all be shocked and horrified. That to me is just pointing out that you've made a shocking statement, which is something that should be obvious.
That's why South Park worked. Eric Cartman was treated as the villain almost every time, and the others (usually Kyle) told him off for screwing with people. And my favorite part is when he gets punished for his over the top dick moves in fittingly over the top ways.
I can use myself as an example. In 2015 I made a YTP on Thomas the Tank Engine and made the policeman say he hates black people (because Michael Brown was still on my mind). That’s horrible on its own but immediately after it I had someone call him out for his racism. I was 16 when I uploaded that. 16!
Hollow Tim a grown adult who’s also a parent: i bet that fourteen year old girl is really good in bed us: that’s, yknow, disgusting and we’re concerned since the fine bros make content with children/minors in most videos you: it’s fiction and they’re played by adults so it doesn’t matter lmao
Hollow Tim they cast grown ups to play minors so they can force them to do and say sexual things on screen. It’s pedophilia while skirting lines of legality
I have a theory that this movie is a personal fanfiction thingie with references and wishful scenarios of how the producers/writers WANTED their high school experience to be
this movie make so much more sense when you find out that benny fine was homeschooled. like WHYY make a movie commenting on high school when you never even went to high school. thats just stupid
Netty ! I’m homeschooled, so I would never remotely think to make a movie or anything relating to people in public school. That’s just stupid. That’d be like trying to make a relatable film about being poor when you were in a 1% household.
Netty ! I was homeschooled almost all my life, and even I know making a movie about what it’s like in high school would be a bad idea. *BUT* he did say that this was “HIS TAKE ON IT” even if this movies trash he admits he has no idea what he’s talking about
@@hurrythepeace9443 "That’d be like trying to make a relatable film about being poor when you were in a 1% household." Ah, yes, the other half of Hollywood films.
Kyle Whitehead I'm sure you don't actually care, but since I did watch the movie I can tell you the context. When the two main characters were in 8th grade they watch Full Metal Alchemist. They were supposed to start Brotherhood in 9th grade, but then they fell out. So now the boy lead is refreshing the memory of the girl lead so that he can show her Brotherhood. (I apologize if I got the series names wrong, I just can't get into that show so I barely know anything about it.)
I think the problem with F the Prom is that it's based off a high school culture that doesn't exist anymore. It's like they tried to make a relatable high school movie by basing it on old high school movies instead of high school. Most of the popular kids at my school are top of their class, community volunteers, etc. The kind of "popular bully" archetype the movie relies on just doesn't exist anymore, high school culture is a lot more complicated. In a post-Columbine climate, the angry, self victimizing outcast just isn't the kind of person we root for anymore. If anything, F the Prom would've been really interesting if it'd been told through the lens of characters like Warren from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Matt from The Dirties.
Right? I graduated high school in 2012 and the best football players also were in AP classes, played video games, and cared more about there GPA than anyone in band or whatever people would consider the nerd group. We never had any problems either, we were friends with people in band and they were friends with us. We never called them losers for not playing football or gave a shit what there interests were. It's just a strange idea that high schoolers care so much about people they supposedly have nothing in common with.
I'm currently in high school. Most of the popular kids are nice people who are actively involved in the school. That's mostly the the reason they're popular.
I know a few years ago I, the classic literary nerd, ran a school D&D club that included the football quarterback and his MVP girlfriend, a wrestling champ, and some other Cool Kids on top of the usual dorky suspects. There was a lot of bleed, and I always figured it was kind of a small school thing, but I guess it isn't. In a more incredible expectation defying example, my little sister's about to graduate in a high school class where the most intense hard-drinking party kids are the val and sal.
When he said, "Yeah, we ruined your night. So what?" I expected him to follow it up with something like, "You ruined our lives," or something else to point out how every other day besides prom was miserable for the losers. But that shooting and suicide line? WHEEEEEW! Funny how I can write better dialogue in a split second than these guys did over the entire movie process.
I literally thought he would say "you ruined our whole year." I mean, the rest of the movie would still be a garbage fire but a follow-up line and argument would greatly improve the speech.
I found that and the "your mom wouldn't have abandoned you" lines the most hilarious parts of the video. I actually laughed out loud on both of those lines. If the fine bros want to make comedy movies they should stick exclusively to their "dramatic" writing, because it's so absurdly bad that it actually becomes funny at some points. I bet if they made a straight face drama it would be one of those so bad it's good movies
He should have said "You ruined our whole year" and then just walked away to let everyone reflect on what he said. Much more dramatic and gets the message across better.
"Prom king was the highlight of my life"
That's honestly the saddest line of dialogue I've ever heard in a movie
DragonbornX45 I feel so bad for people who peaked in high school
DragonbornX45 welp 666 likes

Dear Christ, I've heard that sort of line said in different ways, and it makes me think "do these people ever wonder where they went wrong?"

"We didn't shoot up the school. None of us commited suicide."
That line is so tone deaf it's actually unbelievable
I had to pause the movie when I heard that. It was awful.
They couldn't even tell a low hanging fruit joke right. It's pathetic.
If the movie was a dark comedy this joke wouldve been fucking amazing

I watch Power Rangers in my own time but I've finally found it. The worst line of dialogue ever written.
In the words of Nostalgia Critic to that godforsken line:
"Wow. I mean... wow. That is the worst joke I've ever heard in my entire life."
Ahh!!! after 10000 years i'm free! :P I agree with you completely though, hells bells this movie (hell even just that one scene) makes old school power rangers look like Shakespeare :D
Hey, at least Power Rangers can be campy. But this replaces camp for cringe.
At last.
*holds up beaker*
The worst joke in existence.
@@WillieManga I agree. I love Power Rangers, and have been watching it since I was a little boy in the 90's, and even though they almost always had corny dialogue, i loved it. As I got older, I remember taking Power Rangers just a bit more seriously, despite them being corny and as you put it, campy. Still love the series. Even if I may not watch it now, I still respect how great the series is. Hell, my favorite english anime voice actor started out AS a Power Ranger! I even loved the Power Rangers Turbo movie. And 2 of my favorite Power Rangers are also played 2 different versions of the same character, which I didn't know until later. But there's no saving the dialogue in this movie. Way too cringey for ANYONE to believe. Like it's from another dimension or something...
I hate how all the “losers” in these bad movies are always super attractive people who clearly know they’re super attractive. “Oh no, you’re smart, pretty, funny, athletic, and talented? I can see why everyone hates you.”
Movies like Superbad actually got kids who weren’t conventionally attractive. They understood why a kid might be unpopular. Movies like this try to make us believe the kids who would obviously be popular are somehow hated.
Freaks and Geeks is one of the few shows to understand that too!
@@bethanyvarre9142 I never heard about that one
Superbad is like the only movie to get highschool right
Superbad was a great movie because no one was overly attractive. Even the girls that Seth & Evan are trying to get laid with aren’t unrealistically attractive and they looked like actual high schoolers
Tyler Campbell That’s not true. Sky High is very accurate.
Have modern adults not learned that high school has changed since 1986
Not really. They understand that technology has advanced and that the movies and TV shows are different from the ones in the 80s. But they dont understand that how teenagers interact has changed.
Speaking as a modern adult, the Fine bros are cringe merchants who wouldn't know satire if it wrote a glowing review of their material and praised their business savviness.
They never even went to high school even in 1986!!!
It's a weird self-fulfilling prophecy. Writers can't be bothered to do research, so they just copy what they've seen before. So you get the same tropes about high school recycled over and over again.
It's like how every old person on TV is recycling old person tropes from, like, the 1950s, even though for that to make sense they'd have to be about 150 years old.

Every high school movie, no matter what positive message they think they convey, it always comes out the total opposite.
"Don't worry about not being popular. You'll get the hot girl anyway."
"It's okay to be a virgin. You still have time to get laid before senior year."
"Think you're unattractive? Don't worry. It's just your glasses."
I’m tired of high school movies, society has progressed past the need for high school movies
@@_lol.imagine_ That statement implies that we needed them
Not super bad
@@spaghettioverlord3247 I agree. Superbad is pretty much the ONLY high school movie the entire world needs. Although Ferris Bueller's Day Off is still classic, and there's some things to like about the Breakfast Club, I guess? I don't know, I wasn't there when the movies were made. But seriously, Superbad is the ONLY high school movie any of us need, 'nuff said.
Easy A, Mean Girls, Superbad, The Duff etc. etc. i think still hold up as good high school/teen life movies that don’t undermine the message, capture certain universal elements of high school life we all have to deal with and or have experienced, and still manages to capture the fucking horrible undertones that is the human experience especially the adolescent stages.
does it bum anybody else out that the Fine Bros have spent YEARS interacting with kids, had them on their React channel so many times that they'd come back as high school and even college students, and somehow, with all that time to get to know them, couldn't write a god damn sentence that sounded like an actual teenager? How? What the hell were they doing this whole time?
So.... all that work went out of the window. That is, if they actually bothered to take down some notes or bother to integrate their experiences into the movie, which, given this movie, I doubt it.
Using them for views. 😬
Not to mention the creepy lines aimed toward teens from adults... makes the whole React channel feel creepy.

Top 10 Conspiracy Theories
The father character is honestly way, way, WAY too far. Every single thing he said was absolutely disgusting, unacceptable, and completely unjustifiable. This movie is for young teens. I'm almost 20, and it made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable. The Fine Bro's should be bloody ashamed of themselves.
If Super 8 called the cops on his father for several sexual remarks towards a minor and is sentenced to 15 years in prison plus an occasional beating by fellow inmates, the movie would be much better.

Why you should use memes and references in your movie:
Pro:
- Someone from the audience *might* get a laugh of it *if* they watch it while the meme/reference is still a thing *and* if they think the meme/ref is funny
- ?
Contra:
- Anyone who doesn't know the meme/ref won't find any humour in it and will have no idea what it's supposed to convey
- Anyone who watches the film after the meme/ref is "dead" will think it's not funny, just cringy and outdated
- It usually doesn't progress the plot or improve the dialog at all
- If used incorrectly you will undeniably prove how out of touch you are with actual pop culture
- If used by "smart" characters you'll make them look hella dumb
Clearly, the pros outweigh the cons.
Azumongo not being offensive... but are you talking to me or are you making your own point? (just asking)
“it’s only statutory if you get caught” .. Howwww can you write that and think it’s funny..
they probably had that mentality of "offensive = funne". it's a pretty uninspired and untalented way of humor when you don't know how to tell a good and funny joke.
The dialogue and "jokes" in this movie are so tone deaf, honestly.
I get black comedy can be funny, but there's something called being tactful and it's something movies like this don't understand, you really can't do black comedy well without tact. Really most types of comedies require tact, but black comedy especially.
I haven't seen the whole review yet but I'm guessing the movie ends with a kid in his underwear patting himself on the back for not shooting up the school.

So I learned something that makes this movie worse:
Apparently the Fine Bros were homeschooled
They didn’t go to public school
_THEY MADE A MOVIE ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL PROM WHEN THEY WERE HOMESCHOOLED_
But of course. I mean to be fair I don’t know what public highschool was like for you, but it’s actually more of a gray drag of anxiety and depression. Nobody really acts like this because we all just want to die before the entire world burns. An accurate film would be a bunch of teens sitting on benches slowly eating their small snacks within our 30 minute break and looking half asleep.

Why is it that almost every movie about high school is exactly the same and also completely wrong about what high school is like? Do script writers and movie producers not remember their high school years?
Probably because focus groups and boardroom meetings.
Maybe because they only have a memory of their own high school experience.

“It’s only statutory if you get caught.”
That’s the absolute worst line I’ve ever heard in anything ever.
In a movie with "You're a selfie virgin - a sirgin" and "We didn't shoot up the school"? That's impressive.
This is so painfully 2000s it actually hurt when I found out it only came out a year ago
That's what I thought when I watched it. But the problem is is that this is WORSE than any movie from the early 2000's that I've ever seen.
Rob ksn oh shit you are right
Rob ksn its even on the shittier side of the 90’s and 2000’s, which shouldn’t even be possible with 10 years available to learn from mistakes
Actually I would definitely recommend this movie. especially to aspiring filmmakers and writers on what not to do, I'm not even saying this sarcastically, the writing is so backwards that by literally doing the exact opposite you would make a much better product, It's actually made me go back on some of my writing and ask myself "is this too much like F the prom?" and see what I can do to change that, In those regards it's a perfect movie on what not to do.
Ihasnotomato Tf2 Oh hi
I might watch it then as I'd like to make my own comic one day
So what we should do is congratulate them on making a movie that's shows us how not to write a story or movie. I like that hahaha
That’s exactly why Stephenie Meyer exists.
It's truly amazing that not a single person involved in this production thought to question aloud whether it would look bad if the "hero" of the movie told his classmates to feel lucky he didn't bring a gun to the school and massacre them all.
"you used to give me rubber bands everyday because you knew i liked to play with them"
That line was probably for a seven year old.
Puddles without the band it’s for a 12 year old
Give some so I can strangle myself with it
sounds like a rupi kaur poem
The writing is on the level of the “Anakin Skywalker hating sand” moment
"you're a selfie virgin? A siirgin?"
George Lucas WISHES he could write this dialogue
Why’d you bring up George Lucas as if he’s a good writer
@@rouge939 i didnt. That's the entire joke. This reminds me of "i dont like sand"
Cue the obligatory "Somehow Palpatine returned" jokes. I don't get why people hate that line. Yeah, it's nothing special and them not explaining how he comes back was dumb, but that line by itself is fine.
@@coolnerdlll6053 it's because the line implies that even the writers don't know how or why he came back, other than "the plot needed him to"
@@destructiveblade7446 That makes sense, but if there was an explanation for him coming back, I think that line would still be in the movie. It's not the worst Star Wars line of all time. The dialogue in Attack of the Clones makes it look like Shakespeare.
oh my gosh i saw this on netflix and read the reviews mostly disturbed by the inappropriate comments made by adults about minors and like.........now i know it's written by.....the two dudes who made....kids react....and teens react.....that's just wonderful
I watched this movie a couple months ago with friends: awful and stereotypical and trash fire
Part of me expects to end up hearing they are leaving for an extended holiday with Mr Polanski soon after seeing this film.
Yeah I'm 80% certain the fine Bros are pedos or at least diddlers like the dude that made all those live action Nick shows
Well, they do aspire to that Hollywood filmmaking thing, so it actually makes sense!

Why is it that in every one of these movies, the "unpopular" people are always the spinning image of Western beauty. It's almost as if they're doing it because it's more profitable than if they were accurately represented.
The "loser" guy isn't the spinning image of Western beauty though. Not where I live at least.
He's good looking in the west? Oof...
Maybe to people outside of the east coast.
Are you guys actually saying “spinning image”?
elephystry Well, you can't say you haven't said it now, can you?
TheBakingSeal yeah I agree
I thought after he said "we ruined your night" they'd have gone with the predictable but valid "but you've ruined years for us" but they couldn't even manage that.
But at least they didn't shoot up the school!
It would've worked much better than what they went with.
stewartthehuman That would've been a cool scene tho
The movie tries to tackle the issue of bullying as well as the issue of blaming other people for your own problems and insecurities but somehow manages to portray neither of them in a realistic of understandable manner.
It almost felt like it tried to justify school shootings and blame suicides on popular kids. What's up with that?

@@shawnfields2369 Ah, that alternate title is way too funny for that show. XD
@@WillieManga ...Yeah, you might be right about that. There's NO way in hell that show got 2 and a half laughs. Not even a pity laugh, just an awkward laugh, like when you hear a bad joke, or when someone asks you something you don't know how to reply to, so you just awkwardly laugh it off, which is 95-99% of that show's "jokes". Same with the Big Bad, And No Laughs Other Than An Obnoxiously Stupid And Annoying As Hell Laughtrack Theory. The shortened title would be The Big Bad Theory, or just, The Absolutely Zero Laughs Theory, But At Least We're Not 2 And A Half Men... Theory. Whichever one sounds the funniest to you, dude.

Do high school kids actually watch movies about high school kids?
Dr Shaym I’m in high school, and no. Relatable comedy is so bad in my opinion.
Junior high student here.
Unless you're on the side of the regular people, then yes, if it involves teens, and hot guys, or girls, then they'll totally eat it up.
But also in this stage we find things we are passionate about, so we tend not to. I like cars and history, so I watch and read that kind of stuff.
Plus why watch something we're going through? That'll only make us feel bad/good depending on how you do at school.
*Insert Normies vs. Outsiders since that's essentially the topic.*
KommandantMakaröwitz you're super duper cool
As a certified high school student, no, no not really. Not too many of us watch movies that actually center around the characters in school. I think most prefer characters that are of high school age, but the plot not involving school.
Dr Shaym no
The plots look like some Wattpad novel or someshit.

UA-camr movies are the ultimate reason why the "why don't you make something better" argument is both incredibly hard hitting and invalid.
ThatBugBehindYou I hate that argument. Because criticizing something is a completely different "art" than making a movie.
I’m sorry for being a FUCKING FOOL, but I don’t understand why that is. Why do UA-cam movies invalidate that argument?
@@ogfridgeman5546 I think it's because the statement "why don't you do better" implies that an amateur can do better than a professional filmmaker at times, meanwhile the amateurs make crap like this. I don't agree but that's what I think the logic is.
@Rando Yeah. I think "why don't you do better" is actually an ad hominem, attacking the person (you're not good enough to make something even as crummy as this movie!) and not the argument.

"IT'S ONLY STATUTORY IF YOU GET CAUGHT" - Fine Bros
"When there's no cops around, anything's legal!"
-Grunkle Stan
I liked that joke to be honest. I mean the context is super weird, but i think IHE forgot that humor is completely subjective there.
True, but it needs to be executed right. With my Grunkle Stan reference, the audience is shown that Stan is a conman and a criminal. The audience knows that he's a morally corrupt man, and what he does is not encouraged, But with that freaky Principle, the scene almost romanticizes the idea of minors getting together with older people!
The same goes with art, even if it's made to be disturbing, if it has good quality and skill added to it, anything can get by with me really. This scene did not.
Just learned about their Millie character with Shane Dawson and it makes this movie absolutely repulsive knowing how they view children

as an 18 year old, i’m kinda confused why grown men think high school is like this at all. maybe some people get bullied i don’t know we hardly had any at my school, we would just fuck around and make jokes then be absolutely miserable from our classes. nobody was ever this spastic or spoke this weird, we just hated waking up at 5 am and being stuck in a concrete building with fluorescent lights all day. the fine brothers don’t know how to write movie, they just tried to make money
Been awhile since i was in school, but most bullying happened in elementary school. By high school everyone had their clique but no one really did anything to anyone.
I mean, we definitely had bullying, but it was more of the general "everyone hates themselves and is therefore awful to everyone" sense...we had bigger problems
The artwork on the dvd case looks like it says "The F Prom"

There, just saved you 20 years.
The worst movie ever made was Mean Girl’s 2 (it was even shot in the span of 20 days)
Grace Anderson does it really deserve that title though?
@@altaparks3627 Arguably, yeah. The director intended to make this movie unenjoyable from every possible angle: the text is always slightly off center, the camera angle is always as unflattering as possible, the characters are all obnoxious assholes, there is unsatisfying gross-out everywhere, etc.
Here's one example: There is one animated scene where a man rips off another man's lower jaw. There is barely any blood, the reaction is delayed, the sound effect was scratchy, and the impact on the character getting hurt was almost non-existent. To people who do not like gross-out, this scene is repulsive. To people who do like gross-out, this scene is unsatisfying. This scene is just irritating to everyone watching it.
And the WHOLE MOVIE is like that. The only positive thing I can say about the whole film is that it accomplished what it wanted to- it invoked a negative reaction out of nearly everyone who watched it.
Sometimes i wonder if people who make highschool movies ever even went to highschool. It's been about 4 years since I graduated, so maybe my knowledge is ~inaccurate~ but in high school nobody gave much of a shit about other people? We were all busy with our own shit.
1. The Fine Bros were homeschooled so no they don't know what highschool is like, 2. You're accurate in basically everything, but the ''busy with our own shit'' part has become ''self-absorbness'' (pretty sure it's not a word but whatever)
I was about to say the same thing.
Apparently high school in the past when the writers and directors went to it also was more like that. Nowadays it has supposedly changed for better with amongs other the disappearence of "the cliques" (nerds, jocks, etc). At least that's what I read. 21 Jump Street bases it's humour on the fact that high school environment has changed for example while this movie holds a perception of stasis.
RanDOM D00D Your second point isn't true at all. I graduated in 2017 and the vast majority of our class were completely fine people. I only met a few people who were outright jerks, but they were actually the outcasts. The rest of the school fit into their own social groups and didn't bother those they didn't identify with. There was friendly rivalry between the band kids versus the sports etc, but there was basically no actually infighting or bad blood. All in all people just did their own thing, just as Jesswhatever said.
During my father's time in the 70's, hazing and initiation were common. He got the 'grandfather cut' aka seniors shaved the top of his head when he entered as a freshman. Nowadays, nobody would even think of it. I don't know of anyone who's gotten a swirlie, stuffed in a locker, or anything else cliche. I was lucky enough to go to a high school (2015 grad) that didn't have a hierarchy. Golf was our best sport; football didn't exist. In the next high school over, where they were reigning football champions, you still stuck to your own group and didn't care. The only exception was gang violence between bloods, crips, and other Varrio turf wars. And that was considered separate.
It kind of annoys me when people say teenagers are shallow. I knew people at that age who were less shallow than the vast majority of adults I've interacted with.
The funny thing about these movies is that the creators who always try to write movies where the popular kids "get what they deserve" are always the ones who seem to be living in the past. High schoolers aren't always conspiring against one another, and when they do, it usually doesn't pan out as planned bc they're teenagers and seldom do those people end up being regarded as "cool kids". I'm in high school now, and it sucks, but even the worst kids at my school deserve more credit than this
Also, how could anyone see that school shooting/suicide comment as anything less than poor taste? Yikes
Emilie Gilles cause we have a terrible dark sense of humor
It seems like that line might've been trying to reference Heathers, another older high school movie that's on a much higher tier than this garbage (that movie executed dark humor a lot better and did involve teenage suicide and murder as part of the plot).
I agree that Heathers is so much better, and I find it funny how this piece of garbage demands money to be viewed and nowadays you can have a much better experience watching Heathers here on UA-cam
DO you know one of the producers was homeschooled?
The year this movie came out I was in my last year of high school and was at the bottom of the social hierarchy. I’ve been bullied but not exactly from those at the top. Also it’s far less intense than the movie portrays it.
I'd like to think that these types of movies were made by people who never even went to a high school.
It honestly feels like that.
If they were to make an accurate high school movie high schoolers wouldn't be able to watch it.
and even the 'reject' kids group are so off the mark as a group of conventionally attractive kids. A real reject kids group would have some kid being picked on for being disabled, fat, their race etc. But instead, like pointed out in the vid, you get moderately handsome athletic guy- who even if he was rebuffed by his team mates clearly has another group of openly gay guys in the school he could hang with or the tons of girls who already hang out with gay guys in their high school. smh, all those ' teens react to ' vids they made and they couldn't ask any of those teens about the real high school experience
I think its more of an issue with "we went to high school 30 years ago and don't realize that times have changed". Instead they go only based on what highschoolers and such say about school life, while realizing that those fucknuggets are still too young to explain and describe anything in a reasonable manner so in part it is them to give these shoddy film makers the idea that its all about emoji, texting, sex and about being popular/unpopular.
I think that in general its best to never confine your film into a school and its surroundings. Even if it was done "well", it would be so uninteresting that its not worth a movie. In general these fucking teenager movies need to go as they never offer anything wortwhile.
Especially when the biggest worry for a teenager is "oh my gooood I'm not pooopulaaar, oooh my good I have a test and I need to study for it". That's not interesting!
"Offensive humor is only humorous when the reactions to it are realistic." THANK YOU! American comedy writers keep forgetting this!
Kimi FW or the joke and punchline have to be surrounded by total absurdity (ex. Eric Andre Show, South Park) otherwise, the joke falls flat on its face
Kimi FW I'm an American and even I know that American comedies RARELY pull off shock humor well.
@@seancoughlin350 Yeah, I didn't fully agree with the idea that the reactions should all be shocked and horrified. That to me is just pointing out that you've made a shocking statement, which is something that should be obvious.
That's why South Park worked. Eric Cartman was treated as the villain almost every time, and the others (usually Kyle) told him off for screwing with people. And my favorite part is when he gets punished for his over the top dick moves in fittingly over the top ways.
I can use myself as an example. In 2015 I made a YTP on Thomas the Tank Engine and made the policeman say he hates black people (because Michael Brown was still on my mind). That’s horrible on its own but immediately after it I had someone call him out for his racism. I was 16 when I uploaded that. 16!

I think the problem with F the Prom is that it's based off a high school culture that doesn't exist anymore. It's like they tried to make a relatable high school movie by basing it on old high school movies instead of high school. Most of the popular kids at my school are top of their class, community volunteers, etc. The kind of "popular bully" archetype the movie relies on just doesn't exist anymore, high school culture is a lot more complicated. In a post-Columbine climate, the angry, self victimizing outcast just isn't the kind of person we root for anymore. If anything, F the Prom would've been really interesting if it'd been told through the lens of characters like Warren from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Matt from The Dirties.
Right? I graduated high school in 2012 and the best football players also were in AP classes, played video games, and cared more about there GPA than anyone in band or whatever people would consider the nerd group. We never had any problems either, we were friends with people in band and they were friends with us. We never called them losers for not playing football or gave a shit what there interests were. It's just a strange idea that high schoolers care so much about people they supposedly have nothing in common with.
I'm currently in high school. Most of the popular kids are nice people who are actively involved in the school. That's mostly the the reason they're popular.
I know a few years ago I, the classic literary nerd, ran a school D&D club that included the football quarterback and his MVP girlfriend, a wrestling champ, and some other Cool Kids on top of the usual dorky suspects. There was a lot of bleed, and I always figured it was kind of a small school thing, but I guess it isn't.

When he said, "Yeah, we ruined your night. So what?" I expected him to follow it up with something like, "You ruined our lives," or something else to point out how every other day besides prom was miserable for the losers. But that shooting and suicide line? WHEEEEEW!
Funny how I can write better dialogue in a split second than these guys did over the entire movie process.
I literally thought he would say "you ruined our whole year."
I mean, the rest of the movie would still be a garbage fire but a follow-up line and argument would greatly improve the speech.
I found that and the "your mom wouldn't have abandoned you" lines the most hilarious parts of the video. I actually laughed out loud on both of those lines.
If the fine bros want to make comedy movies they should stick exclusively to their "dramatic" writing, because it's so absurdly bad that it actually becomes funny at some points. I bet if they made a straight face drama it would be one of those so bad it's good movies
He should have said "You ruined our whole year" and then just walked away to let everyone reflect on what he said. Much more dramatic and gets the message across better.
