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.
- The mall, noon, Saturday. - All right, cool. Will there be a lot of walking, though? Because I'll wear my Shape-ups. Having some... Text me. I was nervous, relying on the school Neanderthal, but what was the worst he could do? - Are you kidding me with this? - I'm not. Wes, if I wanted to go shopping and talk about girly stuff, I could've done that with Jess and Casey. - I need you to give me real talk. - Real talk? You got a uniboob, your posture sucks, and your clothes fit weird because you wear the wrong size bra. Boom, real talk.

- What do you think? - Hey, look at those. - You... You look great. - Thanks. That's enough. - Well, I know my boobs. - Okay. - Can we leave? - Definitely not. We've got the whole place. We are just getting started. Step two: Time to show the world who you are. The truth is, I don't know who you are from your clothes, okay? You need to start dressing more like you, and less like Wreck-It Ralph.
