User Reviews

I don't really get my hopes high when I watch teen flicks. Yeah, I - we, always get the cliché plot where there's the geek MC with super low self-esteem getting the super cool and bad-ass jock of their school. Or this super fab chic and her teeny-weeny realizations in life making and pushing her to make a 2.0 version of herself. Well, moving on. I couldn't say the movie plot of The DUFF is way way different from all of the things I've mentioned above. Yes, the plot did qualified in the cliché-teen-flick-movie street, but the execution on the other hand I must say gave this movie an edge.

Again, plot-wise it's not that new. But the fast-paced and well execution of the characters I must say, was very well done! (High-five to the casting people of this film!) Putting in some of my personal thoughts in this film: I didn't get bored at all. I was actually very well entertained. There was a perfect blend of teenage drama with a pinch of humor (I really liked the MC's sarcasm haha!), bad-ass teachers, sh*tty-fab queen attitude probs and a whole lot more. The story after all didn't feel strained for teenagers, it was just right - cute, fun-quirky film to watch when you're just bored at home or in a pajama party with your gang.

Overall, I'll give this a 9 out of 10! Totally going on my A+ teen flicks list and I'm definitely watching this again (don't judge lol, we all do have our own teen-flick cravings)!
