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.
How could you guys not tell me this whole time that I was your DUFF? - Our what? - Your Designated Ugly Fat Friend. Yeah, yeah. Wesley told me everything. Ha, ha. He can't even spell. That's actually pretty creative for Wes. Since when do you care what Wesley Rush says? He says crazy stuff all the time. Uh, because it makes sense. I mean, why else would two super-hot, popular girls wanna be friends with somebody like me? It's because you're using me to make yourselves look better. Okay, just because you think one of us is better-looking than you... Oh, my God. There it is, there it is. You know what? No, no, no. I'm glad you said that, because it makes what I'm about to do a whole lot easier.

Well, hallelujah, okay? I don't have to look at pictures of your artisanal cappuccinos every morning. How dare you? You love those foam faces. - They're foam-tastic. - Shh. Look, we're going through something over here. Guess what else. Unfollowed y'all on Twitter. Oh, perfect. No more of Bianca's almost-ironic tweets for the day. Heh. Oh, that's rich, coming from this guy who's RT'ing them all day long. They're pity RTs.
