This is an admirable tale of a young gay man who stands up for his simple rights--to be treated just like everybody else. In this case, David's Goliath is the Catholic Church and a typical school board that's mired in another century, stuck in the "love the sinner, hate the sin" shtick that we hear all too often in the United States.That the Canadian Government would actually help to finance a tale encouraging diversity is such a contrast to our own, still stuck in a rather primitive morality based on fading stereotypes.No doubt that Prom Queen begins as a rather silly teen flick, rife with stereotypes, but about half way through, the endearing, committed performances and persuasive plot line make it work. A few nights ago, I watched Brokeback Mountain, and the films make an interesting pair: one a haunting examination of repressed passion, and the other a joyful celebration of individuality. One is a groundbreaking work of art, however depressing, and other a joyous celebration of letting it be.

I inadvertently turned on the TV today, and saw this Marc Hall story. (Aka Prom Queen) ... It is the most inspiring movie I have ever seen. It's a Canadian film in which a gay student wants to take his male partner to his prom. Against all odds, the church, the school board, and media, he is finally able to go. I was glad they included the part of the Canadian Auto Workers Association giving Marc the scholarship at the end. It was the sort of movie that you know how is going to end, but it still had enough twists and turns to keep almost everyone attentive. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone, except of course, people who are homophobic. (No movie can save them!) It has such a true life feel. Definitely not the Hollywood regular sort of movie. Thanks to everyone who was involved in creating this film.

I put this movie as a 10. it really depends on your taste in GLBT movies. If you are all for the sex, then yes, this show was awful. I personally enjoyed the story. This movie reaches out to ALL AGES (notice some oldies songs), and is a great learning tool. Even though this movie did not stick to the complete story, it is still enough to get you interested in what happened. The music...It gave the film a campy, fun feeling that the director was looking for. Even in the worst of times, it had the emotional aspect linking the music to marc's or anyone else's emotion. The people in marcs house...yes I would say that was a bit over stereotyping, but Church St. was portrayed accurately. And finally, the bimbo girls. If you take a look in High Schools today, you will find that a lot of this movie is exactly like school. We even have those girls at my school.This is a great movie for enjoyment. It had me laughing and crying. Aaron Ashmore is a superb actor, and this only shows of his abilities. This movie was WELL ACTED! Oh, Jason in real life wasn't out fully also. And what happened with their fight, it was very possible. I have seen closeted relationships break-up because of moving too fast, in what case Marc and Jason were. This is a great movie to watch whenever you are feeling down and need inspiration. "An after school feel-good movie"Oh, by the way, The Hall Family loved the movie.

This uplifting comedy-drama is based on the true story of Marc Hall, the Canadian gay teen who sued the Catholic Church for not letting him bring his boyfriend to his High School Prom. Like a homo-positive "Afterschool Special," Prom Queen has a terrific cast which includes openly gay "Kids In The Hall" comedian Scott Thompson and rising star Aaron Ashmore as the blue-eyed, blue-haired rebel who boldly confronts the homophobic school board, and ultimately takes on the Catholic Church. This heartfelt story inspires and entertains as it offers up a heroic portrait of gay teen activism and portrays the true courage of his straight friends and family as they rally together to send Marc and his boyfriend to the prom.
