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 never knew why I couldn't talk to Toby. Now I did. Because, like everyone else in school, he knew what I was. And subconsciously I knew it too. - It was all so easy for Wes. - Ha, ha. Look, I'm no wine expert, but I'm pretty sure you mix red and white, you get rose. - He could talk to anyone. - Wesley. Back to work.

Look, I have a crush on this boy. His name's Toby Tucker. Maybe you've heard of him. Well, I can't seem to talk to him without making a total ass of myself, okay? And you never seem to have this problem. - Don't you hate me? - I'm glad you asked. Yes, I do. But only because you're a dipshit and a man-whore. But you're the only one in this whole school who told me what was actually going on. So you're an honest dipshit, and that's what counts. - Thanks? - Can we just...? Can we just cool it for a second?
The DUFF
I mean, you got the easy part. You could pass science in your sleep. I have to reverse-DUFF you. Are you wearing pajamas? Oh, my God. You know, I get it Wesley, okay? I'm disgusting. I'm a swamp thing. - I'm a regular Bela Lugosi. - Who? I can't even believe I thought that I could ask you something like this. Just forget it. You know, have fun playing intramural Wii golf this season, dick face.
