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 does homecoming mean to me? If you asked me at the beginning of senior year, I would've told you, "Absolutely nothing." But tonight, possibly the greatest night of my life, I have changed my tune.

You know that one moment in high school that changes everything? Okay, I think I can probably finish this later. It all started senior year, about a month before homecoming. I was cruising the halls with my two best friends...

But they're positive this time. Mr. Arthur was right. Kids started writing to me with their own DUFF stories, and when I posted those, more kids responded until it just became its own thing.
