Trivia
Several of the Valley Girls from the original movie make cameo appearances: Deborah Foreman (Julie in the original) plays the "Shopgirl" who comments on the pink prom dress; Elizabeth "E.G." Daily (Loryn in the original) plays Mickey's mom; and Heidi Holicker (Stacey in the original) plays Mrs. H. (the woman at the pep rally who comments, "Check out that bod").

Goofs
"Promposals" are a contemporary tradition. It's highly unlikely that a boy in the early 1980s would've asked his steady girlfriend to prom in such an elaborate way. He likely would have assumed she was going with him.

Quotes
Older Julie: We lived in a total bubble. We never left the Valley; we barely left the mall! We were warned to never go over the hill, where all the weirdos lived. Punks and runaways. It was just a few zipcodes over but seemed like a million miles away.

Crazy credits
Shortly into the end credits, there is VHS-style footage of the characters with captions providing updates on what they did afterward.

Musical tribute to the 1980s movie.

This movie accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do, it is strictly for light entertainment with 30-ish actors playing high school teens. There is ample musical numbers throughout, the singers are passable but not particularly talented. It is just an interesting movie with 1980s music and anyone who doesn't particularly enjoy musicals should avoid this movie.

It is told as one long flashback with Alicia Silverstone (uncredited) telling her 1980s story to her own teen daughter. I found it on Amazon streaming movies.
