“Boutonniere” is a darkly comic take on the joys of going to prom. It’s about Bethany, a teenage girl getting pressured to go to prom by her overbearing mother (played wonderfully cynical by “Reno 911” star, Wendy McLendon-Covey). Unbeknownst to those around her, Bethany is actually excited about the idea of it, but the thought of going doesn’t sit well.
By the end of the film, you understand exactly why Bethany has such reservations. In fact, it hits you like a punch in the face, and you’re left wondering if you’ve just watched a comedy, or something deeply depressing. Maybe both. Regardless of which it is, it’s all entertaining.
