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 didn't regret hitting "send," but I did regret how I left things with Jess and Casey. So all of this because of some word?

It didn't feel like just some word to me. I think deep down I've always known you guys were prettier than me, and I felt like I couldn't talk to you about it, because you wouldn't understand what it felt like to be your schlumpy friend. But, you know, you're wrong, because we all have our insecurities.

The point is, we're a team. If anything, we're kind of chumps in comparison to you. Okay, now you went too far. You had me and then you lost me. Oh, no, she's right, B. You are by far the smartest one of the three of us. You're loyal, you're funny. And we can't be Bianca, Jess and Casey without Bianca.

Thanks. Oh. Okay, you know what? Tonight how about we ditch our dates and have a girls' night? - Done. - What? No, no way. Guys, it's homecoming. You're definitely going. I just... I can't see Wes. Or Toby. Or anyone, for that matter. Just let me stay here and lie amongst the pizza a little longer. - Absolutely not. - Mom.

- You're listening at the door again? - Yes, I was. This is juicy stuff. Now it all makes sense. Mom, I've been through all of your stages, okay? I am already at the fifth and final stage: acceptance. Honey, forget about the five stages. I have got some real advice for you. We're gonna call it, uh, stage 11. Yeah, it's sort of acceptance plus, where you realize who you are, you accept it, and then you, um, turn it up to 11. Is that supposed to be Robert Pattinson? No, Spinal Tap. The movie, Spinal Tap. "This one goes to 11." Let's stop. All right, honey, you're a weirdo. Fine, own it. Be the best weirdo you can be. You have spent the last month worrying so much about what other people think about you. How about tonight you just worry about what you think about you? Now, I want you to get cleaned up, I want you to go to that dance, and rock that homecoming like my Bianca Piper would.

Passion plus action... - Oh, my God, I'm doing it again. - No, no, it's okay, it's working. You're good at this. I'm feeling mad inspired. I think I have an idea.

Hmm. There it is. I gotta say, this is some of my best work. - You are very talented. - It's really perfect, Jess. All right, I just talked with the guys, and I told them we're going alone. - Ooh. Yes. - Thanks. So shall we?

And then she was all like, "Bitch, if I wanted your opinion, I'd ask." And I was all like, "Bitch, if I cared what you thought, I'd ask." Ugh, my grandma is so annoying. - Ha-ha-ha. - Wesley, what time is it?

I could tell from across the room that we might be into each other. Now that I'm here, I'm sure. Your move. - Wow. - How was that? That was not bad. Should I've gone with "wiener in your mouth"? - No, no. Definitely not. - Ha, ha. - Um... - Wow, um... You look beautiful. Thanks.

But a guy I know once told me that if you like somebody, you should just be straight-up with them and tell them that you're into them.
