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.

What do you want me to say? I have nothing to say. I do everything around this house, and you don't do... - Oh, here we go. - Well, it's the truth. Wesley, will you get the door?! Oh, don't yell at him. He has nothing to do with this. Save it for therapy, okay, honey? - Wesley, get the door! - Okay, enough, I got it. Hey, ready to go get down - with some bro-valent electrons? - Yeah.
