Prom Dates, written by D.J. Mausner and directed by Kim Nguyen, is a comedy that follows two best friends who are hell-bent on having the perfect senior prom, despite the fact they broke up with their dates only 24 hours before the big night.
This raunchy comedy reminds us that while romantic love may be fleeting, true friendship can survive any adversity that comes its way. Give it a listen and relive the best night of your life.
