A [[High School]] movie, made by [[Disney]], about, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Prom]]. Specifically, seven high school seniors (and three sophomores) and the drama and hilarity they go through during prom season. It was released in April 2011 (prom season).

{{tropelist}}
=== ''[[Prom]]'' provides examples of: ===
 
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Lucas and Corey in the online prologue "Corey and Lucas For The Win". For reasons unknown, the events of the miniseries do not get mentioned during the events of the actual movie.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: One of them does, anyway.
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
* [[The Cuckoolander Was Right]]: He was telling the truth.
* [[Dance of Romance]]: Obviously happens during the prom scene itself. {{spoiler|Jesse and Nova do this, just when a depressed Nova was about to leave prom. While not during prom, Lucas and Simone share a slow dance when the latter manages to meet him after a secret concert. Mei and Justin also share this treatment, as well.}}
* [[Dawson Casting]]: 24-year old Thomas [[Mc Donell]]McDonell and 21-year old Aimee Teegarden portraying high school seniors Jesse and Nova respectively. Averted with Danielle Campbell, Nolan Sotillo and Cameron Monaghan, (Simone, Lucas and Corey) who's ages are somewhat close with their characters and real-life sophomores (at least for Danielle and Nolan; both are 16 to Cameron's 18).
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Jesse. Lloyd too.
{{quote| Prom. It's like the Olympics of high school. You wait four years, three people have a good time, and everybody else gets to live on with shattered dreams.}}
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Jesse's father, though whether he left them or died is never made clear.
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Jesse and Nova get together in the ending, and so do Lucas and Simone. Mei and Justin still end up going to prom together and Lloyd manages to meet a girl during prom.
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
** {{spoiler|Subverted when she actually shows up at Prom.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: 3, actually: [[Friday Night Lights (TV series)|Julie Taylor]] , [[Starstruck (film)|Jessica]] and [[The Secret Life of the American Teenager|Toby]] are the recognizable ones.
** Also [[Ten10 Things I Hate About You|Cameron]] who's even more of a loser
*** His stepsister is [[Austin and Ally|Trish]]
* [[High School]]: [[Captain Obvious|Naturally.]]
Line 45 ⟶ 44:
* [[Maybe Ever After]]: The couples who got the hookup listed above, although time would tell if a sequel would be made to follow up on them ([[Relationship Upgrade|especially the sophomores]]).
* [[Meaningful Echo]]: When Lucas is asked by Tyler to go to his barbeque, Corey states that Lucas asking Simone to go with him is like "Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock". {{spoiler|Near the end of the movie, Simone leaves prom to be with Lucas. When the two see her after their concert ends, Corey mentions "Hendrix. Woodstock." before Lucas and Simone proceed to slow dance in the parking lot.}} Also counts as [[Book Ends]], considering that [[Don't Explain the Joke|these two occur during the first and last major interactions between both Simone and Lucas.]] Another example occurs during Nova and Jesse's break-in of a rival school. When the two [[Almost Kiss]], Nova states that "you were about to kiss me." [[spoiler:Near the end, Nova ends up saying the same thing to him, although they end up [[Big Damn Kiss|kissing for real.]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Guess what Rolo is seen eating is one scene
* [[Mistaken for Cheating]]: How we are introduced to Tyler and Jordan.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Tyler and Simone's former romance. It's never really outright explained how it turned sour, although it's implied that his [[Your Cheating Heart|problems with women]], so to speak, caused the relationship to go awry. Simone also describes him as the "one who wasn't available".
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
* [[Romantic Comedy]]
* [[Runaway Bride|Runaway Prom Date]]: {{spoiler|Simone leaves Tyler at Prom to be with Lucas.}}
* [[Serious Business]]: Prom. It's super serious.
* [[Shaggy Dog Story]]: Almost none of the characters or their subplots have any ties to each other, and as such end up being completely pointless unrelated distractions from the plot, with little if any conclusion.
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: All of them, actually.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Nova, Mei, Ali and Simone for prom, obviously.
* [[Stock Trailer Music]]: [[Katy Perry|Katy Perry's]] "Firework". It also plays during the prom scene.
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Nolan Sotillo (Lucas) and Thomas [[Mc Donell]]McDonell (Jesse) are both included on the movie's soundtrack and star in the music videos of said tracks. Nolan sang the song "We Could Be Anything", whose music video mixes footage from the song's recording as well as clips from the movie focusing on [[Official Couple|his character and Simone (Danielle Campbell)]], while Thomas' band "Moon" performs the song "Time Stand".
* [[Underdressed for the Occasion]]: During the end credit slideshow, Lucas was able to get into prom and get some pictures with Simone. This, of course, happens with the former still in casual attire and the latter all made up in her prom dress.
* [[Who Is This Guy Again?]]: A lot of the characters are never properly introduced, and a lot of the cast we never even learn their name.
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Nova? Really? That's not a nickname or anything?
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Tyler's main character flaw, which causes both Jordan and Simone (for the second time, apparently) to ditch him. {{spoiler|This is the subject of a deleted scene on the DVD, after Tyler asks Simone out to prom, when Jordan and Simone talk about their own relationships with him.}}
