The DUFF
Directed by Ari Sandel
Bianca's universe turns upside down when she learns that her high school refers to her as a ‘DUFF' (Designated Ugly Fat Friend). Hoping to erase that label, she enlists the help of a charming jock and her favorite teacher. Together they'll face the school's mean girl and remind everyone that we are all someone's DUFF… and that's totally fine. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →I was just thinking that The DUFF is one of my favorite movies but apparently it's very different from it's book. Hopefully, ill like this movie even if it strays from the narrative
positive · AI labelView post →Anyone remember a movie called "The DUFF" where Mae Whitman played the main character who's a "Designated Ugly Fat Friend" even though she's beautiful? Hollywood standards are bullshit, man.

Low-wattage, flimsy, and (intermittently) *weirdly* racist. But: Judy Tenuta! So, y'know.
neutral · AI labelView post →I needed The Duff (2015) tonight. High school rom-com. Easy and pleasing watch. Surprisingly difficult to get these sorts of films right, but The Duff manages it. Surprising, but very welcome appearances by Allison Janney and Ken Jeong
positive · AI labelView post →My emotional support background movie is a decent coming-of-age rom-com like Saving Silverman or The DUFF.
positive · AI labelView post →I don't know who Hilary Duff is but I heard her name probably around the same time I heard of the movie The Duff so i thought, in a passive uninterested way, I thought the movie was about her and starred her and no, no it is not and does not
neutral · AI labelView post →Not to mention, The DUFF stands for Designated Ugly Fat Friend. She's considered fat in that movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →#WritersCoffeeClub Dec 13: Which novel to TV or movie adaptation was the most disappointing and why? Many, but 2 especially: The Duff - they turned a unique coming-of-age story into Hollywood mush. My Sister's Keeper - They changed the end so radically that it kinda made the whole story pointless.

American actress Bianca Santos was in her 20s when she played Casey -- one of the pretty, nice girls in the friend group -- in the rom-com film "The DUFF" back in 2015. Santos hit the big screen with Mae Whitman, Bella Thorne and Robbie Amell.… #media #news

Being that Dr. Jeong is the reason I finally watched this, I feel he was under utilized, but I was surprised to see Taylor Lautner and Bella Thorne delightfully playing jerks. Mae Whitman is an excellent actor and not necessarily known for being a "looker", but I never would have thought of her as a DUFF either, but I guess the concept is all relative. The movie does spend a lot of time making fun of her for being "unattractive" though. To be…

After realising her issue, she fights back to regain what she was missing. This type of concept is extremely common, but initiating a fresh idea on where the narration can develop the plots and finishes off high note is the vital for a movie's success. This film had one of that and that is called the DUFF. You can find out what that stands for in its…
