Extremely Fast and Pointless Film Review: The Duff (2015)

I watched this coming of age high school girl drama today, and it reminded me that I am a sucker for charismatic people doing pretty much anything.  Mae Whitman nails the insecure, yet funny and engaging main character and the rest of the cast work to only further elevate what would have otherwise been a boiler-plate plot.  I don't completely buy the ending, but I respect it in it's boldly (and somehow lazily) putting the two characters that you want to get together, together.  Whether it's realistic or not isn't important.  The Duff is a light, engaging, and charming high school comedy.

Five Stars.
