The Big Picture Teen comedies are oftentimes at their best with the perfect blend of raunchy humor and heart. Since its release, Hulu's Prom Dates has been drawing comparisons to last year's Bottoms and 2019's Booksmart, both of which are regarded for their unapologetic jokes and dynamic best friend duos.
D.J. MAUSNER: From the get-go, we had a wonderful team. We were really lucky to pair with some incredible producers and then, ultimately, bring on the perfect director for the project to make it come to life. It was really wild how collaborative it felt as time went forward post-script. Kim and I are really lucky to be kind of aligned, and I'm really lucky that Kim and I have the same fucked up sense of humor.
KIM O. NGUYEN: On my end, that letter was so heartfelt and complimentary. Thank you so much. I don't know if we’ve ever actually really had a chance to speak about that. And then the script, obviously, you saw, it's so funny and there's also veins of sincerity through it too, and just the fact that it was friendship-forward and really frontal.
TERRY HU: Yeah, we got to work together, and we were actually reminiscing about it just earlier today because we talked, like, two years ago about our Never Have I Ever episode. One of the biggest things I thinkKim brings is such an approachability, and it's so helpful as an actor because I get very nervous and stuff like that. On Never Have I Ever, she reached out to me and was like, “I'm the director. Let's get on a call.
Very fair point. You can't vomit in a film and sneeze in a film and not inspire me to ask — I swear, I ask this question all the time — would you rather have to fake sneeze or fake vomit in a movie? I know! I want you to choose. I've never interviewed someone who's done both in one movie. I'm just so impressed.MAUSNER: What was the mix?MAUSNER: Yeah, that's a signature cocktail at the bar after this.
LESTER: I always admired Terry, and we have a lot of mutual friends, and I just heard amazing things about them. So coming onto this movie knowing that I would be sharing some pretty intimate or intense scenes with somebody, it was very refreshing to know that it was somebody who was my peer and now a really great friend of mine.
