[1][2] The film stars Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Milo Manheim, Margaret Cho, Blake Draper, Monique Green, Arica Himmel, Jason Sakaki, David S. Jung, and Wendi McLendon-Covey.

When it is announced that the upcoming prom will be an 80s themed bash, Ben is visibly interested in going while Mandy, not wanting to conform to typical high school rituals, is disdainful towards it, especially since it will be attended to by "Everests", a term for people who have reached their peak.

The two of them grow close with Mandy learning that Graham is pressured by his father to make grand achievements and performs non-profits acts on the side.

Mandy starts to put off her usual hangout time with Ben, who is initially upset, but a fortuitous night has him meeting up with LaToya who shares many of his interests.

Later, Mandy is at Harvard when she suddenly runs into Graham, who turned down UT and decided to take a year off to do inner city non profit work.

On February 6, 2022, it was announced that Disney Branded Television was developing a teen rom com film for Disney+, titled Prom Pact, starring Peyton Elizabeth Lee and Milo Manheim.

Julie Bowen, Melvin Mar, Jake Kasdan, Rachael Field, and Anya Adams were set to be executive producers for the film.

[10][11] A brief shot in the film included portions of a crowd, which would normally be populated with background actors, created through computer-generated imagery (CGI).

[15][16] According to Whip Media's TV Time, which tracks viewership data for the more than 25 million worldwide users of its TV Time app, Prom Pact was the fifth most-watched film across all platforms in the United States during the week of April 2,[17] and ranked tenth during the week of April 10, 2023.

[20] Erick Massoto of Collider awarded Prom Pact a B+ rating, highlighting it as an ideal choice for viewers seeking a light and enjoyable film.

They found the cast to be excellent, the humor natural and unforced, and the story a genuine celebration of friendship and the importance of not disappointing those close to you, as well as the value of making amends if you do.

They highlighted the film for its affectionate take on the coming-of-age comedy genre, avoiding clichés like opposite-sex friends falling for each other.

However, they noted that the film’s attempt to maintain Disney's family-friendly tone led it to sidestep edgier themes, making it feel tame compared to typical teen comedies.

Reif suggested that the film might have been more impactful on platforms like Freeform or Hulu, where it could have embraced more genuine teenage experiences.

She praised the film for its positive messages and role models, noting its emphasis on communication in relationships and self-motivation.
