Disney Channel Original Movie 'Prom Pact' explores the friendship of Mandy (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) and Ben (Milo Manheim) through the lens of a coming-of-age rom-com, but with a modern twist.
NEW YORK --Disney Channel Original Movie "Prom Pact" explores the friendship of Mandy and Ben through the lens of a coming-of-age rom-com, but with a modern twist.
"I think now with a modern audience they expect more with their films now," said Blake Draper, "Graham Lansing.""It wasn't a kids' movie. The humor, the subject matter, all of it, even us talking about what was problematic in the '80s, it definitely requires a maturity level," said Julie Bowen, Executive Producer.
"It's great to have an openly queer voice of reason," said Margaret Cho, who plays school guidance counselor "Ms. Chen." "She understands the culture of these kids but is also trying to guide them in a way that is meaningful." Mandy wants nothing more than to go to Harvard, but being waitlisted pushes her to go to extremes to achieve her dreams.
She enlists Ben to help her get a recommendation letter from the father of all-star jock Graham Lansing."The friendship between Ben and Mandy, the two main characters is so important and crucial. It's never about them becoming a couple.
