Director: Kim O. Nguyen
Two best friends made a pact at thirteen to have the perfect senior prom together, and with twenty-four hours on the clock and no dates left standing, Prom Dates turns that childhood promise into a frantic last-minute scramble.
What is Prom Dates about?
Jess and Hannah have held onto one plan since middle school: whatever happens, senior prom has to be perfect, and they intend to experience it together. College is about to pull their lives in different directions, which only makes the pact feel more urgent to both of them. The trouble starts a day before the dance, when each of them separately breaks up with the date she had lined up, leaving them scrambling with barely any time left to fix it. What follows is a single frantic day spent chasing new dates, patching up old friendships, and trying to force one last perfect night out of a plan that keeps falling apart around them. The film treats the pact less as a rom-com gimmick and more as a stand-in for the anxiety of growing up and drifting from the people who knew you first.
Cast & crew
Julia Lester and Antonia Gentry play Jess and Hannah, carrying the film's frantic, one-day structure between them. Jordan Buhat, Zión Moreno, and Kenny Ridwan round out the wider circle of friends and almost-dates caught up in their scramble.
Context & significance
Director Kim O. Nguyen keeps the 2024 comedy tight at 86 minutes, matching the film's own ticking-clock premise with brisk pacing rather than padded subplots. The high-school setting and prom-night deadline place it squarely in the teen-comedy tradition, told from the two friends' point of view rather than either love interest's.
Where & how to watch
