I watched The Prom on Netflix last weekend. I liked it. It was fine. I totally understand the criticism, but as one who has not judged Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman's singing kindly in the past, I thought they were entertaining. I don't have a huge issue with James Corden. Could there be better performances? I'm sure. Could they have chosen some/all of the original cast from Broadway? Definitely. However, I get that I should either not watch it or I take it for what it is.
With that out of the way, I'll say nice things. I love Keegan Michael Key. I thought he did a good job, and now I want to see Jingle Jangle. I thought the leads were adorable. I don't think this movie version falls as flat as some other (most) movie adaptations, and it does make me want to see the play.
