The DUFF
The DUFF (teen slang for "Designated Ugly Fat Friend") is a 2015 American high school teen comedy film directed by Ari Sandel. The screenplay by Josh Cagan was based on the 2010 novel of the same name by Kody Keplinger. The film stars Mae Whitman, Robbie Amell, Bella Thorne, Nick Eversman, Skyler Samuels, Bianca Santos, Allison Janney, and Ken Jeong. The DUFF was distributed by CBS Films via Lionsgate. CBS also produced the film with Vast Entertainment and Wonderland Sound and Vision. It was released on February 20, 2015, and was the first film for which Lionsgate took over CBS Films' distribution functions. It received positive reviews from critics, with praise for Whitman's performance. Comparisons were frequently drawn to the cult teen films Mean Girls (2004) and Easy A (2010). Against a budget of $8.5 million, the film grossed $43 million at the box office.
I'm assuming you've seen the video. - Heh. Yeah. - Um, it's true. I am into you. And so I thought I should just be straightforward and tell you to your face. Wow. I'm flattered. And impressed. Ha, ha. Not a lot of people would have the balls to say all that. Well, that's my whole thing. - Big old balls. - Ha, ha. Right.

Step seven: the date. Okay, we need a plan. You think a football team runs on the field without a strategy? Eh... Mm. - Exactly, no. Of course they don't. - No, of course they don't. You want this date to end with you making out, you need to think ahead. So give me the vibe of the restaurant you're going for. Okay, I'm thinking something kind of trendy, you know, kind of hipster, maybe unique? - Done. Dave & Buster's. - Huh? - The place with the metal claw game? - You bet your ass.

Worst scenario is if you get seated at a table right across from each other. Okay, no one's making out if they're three feet apart. Simple geology. You need a booth, okay? It's better for flirting, not-so-accidental touching, making out. Game on. Wow, I had no idea guys like you even thought about this kind of stuff. Well, that's because you're racist against jocks. You're a jock-cist.
