In Jackass: A prom story, Amy Granados brought me back to my school dances and the excitement that brings. I was laughing out loud at both her story and my memories that she conjured up. Her self-effacing humor encourages us to laugh at her pain as she illustrates her young hopes, dreams, and disappointments through the media and personalities of the times; Saved by the Bell, daredevil skaters, and aol instant messenger, oh my! Genius, I highly recommend it....

I loved this show! It was clever and funny, and the performance was so honest and vulnerable. Best of all, it had a lot of heart.
Even though it was sadly amusing (amusingly sad?), it avoided being whiny or maudlin or self-pitying. Ok, maybe a little self-pitying, but only a little, and in a way that made it all the more charming.
Kudos to Amy for a performance that made me really feel for her, even while laughing with her!...
