High school boy makes internet "promposal" to latest Hollywood super-starlet and because of a recent embarrassing break-up in her private life, she accepts it to get publicity. This sounded like it was going to be lame and unappealing with few interesting possibilities. And the opening scene didn't help. The break-up was loud and very public occurring on the red carpet for some event. Right away it looked like two things were going to be true of this movie. I expected bad acting all the way through based on the acting in the break-up. And I expected the starlet to be arrogant and obnoxious. The latter was only partially true. At times she was all about me, me, me as she took over the prom decorations. At other times, she was open and vulnerable as she got to know Mr. Walsh. She does seem to care about the people around her at the local high school. The other characters are appealing (except for the obvious villain). This is the third time I've seen Bailee Madison recently. The adorable but sometimes incorrigible kid has grown up into a nice young lady. The final outcome of the story was pretty obvious from early on, but I will let you guess as you watch. There are a few interesting scenes and developments to keep the story moving.
