Much more relatable than the book was, and even more charming and funnier. Mae Whitman actually makes the main character likable, where in the book she was kind of a b****

My friend was in this and I was very proud of him! I thought this was a great movie with a great cast. It was almost like a remake of Mean Girls, which isn't a bad thing. It was funny and entertaining.

I really liked this movie. It was very realistic, except for a few scenes.

Do we really need yet another “girl gets makeover to get the guy” movie? In 2015? In this economy? I say no. We have enough insecurities as it is, maybe is time to stop trying to make girls feel ugly just because they are not conventionally pretty. Just fu*k off already.

I'd watch Mae Whitman in just about anything. I saw where this was going from early on and I was determined not to support it because I felt sure she was going to get a makeover and bam! life would just turn around for her, and honestly that's not realistic -- nor should it be. And while it did turn out to be predictable, Bianca did not sell herself short in the end and I'm pretty pleased with that. But there were definitely parts that were hard to watch -- I was definitely the DUFF in middle school, high school, and hell -- even now I'm the DUFF. But I'm much more okay with me than I used to be. Anyway my point is that watching her be humiliated over and over again was painful to watch, because it called back a lot of that, but I loved that in the end she was true to herself. There need to be more movies geared toward teenaged girls telling them that it is 10,000% okay to be exactly who they are.

My thoughts on "The DUFF" are split. The plot was far from air tight and was predictable enough to be able to guess the ending pretty early on. The script was a little heavy handed on the foreshadowing of future events, and didn't give the characters enough motivation and time to evolve. What made this movie for me was the performances from the actors. Mae Whitman gave a great performance as Bianca. I actually got emotionally attached to her character. Robbie Amell as Wesley, was amazingly charming, although his performance was slightly unbalanced. The rest of the performances felt very genuine, which helped support the weak script. While this certainly isn't another "Mean Girls", The DUFF has enough heart to make it worth watching at least once.

Teen romantic comedies are a very subjective thing and nothing beats the 2000s when it comes to my taste. Also, something about having an almost 30 yo lady play a 17 yo doesn't sit well with me.

The inclusion of Twitter handles for each of the major cast/crew in the credits was a very unexpected touch.

Borderline anorexic, shallow and mean trend-whores insulting a quirky, but regular and overall not even remotely fat girl and making her become one of their own, calling it 'pretty'. There was nothing wrong with her for god's sake. She was an individual having her own taste and opinions. So the movie basically tells you to become generic and like everyone else, forget every individuality. One can only hope there aren't too many naive girls to actually see a meaning in this.

This started off interestingly, but turned out quite anti-feministic; a girl who's an individual learns that she's unattractive because she's supposedly fat (which she plainly speaking is not) and has to amend her ways; as she tries to become more "girly"...arrgh. It's a film that's cute in some ways but just tedious in others, and it manages to mention a lot of modern-day apps along the way. That's it. Don't see this. See "Mean Girls" instead.

i think this is better than the book? it was just so freaking cute
