Comedy. Romance Bianca (Mae Whitman) is a content high school senior whose world is shattered when she learns the student body knows her as 'The DUFF' (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) to her prettier, more popular friends. Now, despite the words of caution from her favorite teacher, she puts aside the potential distraction of her crush, Toby, and enlists Wesley, a slick but charming jock, to help reinvent herself.

United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"This winsome comedy is a little low in the stakes department, not to mention predictable, but it gets an'“A' for charm (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"More a middle-of-the-road rom-com than a teen-spirit sendup, the pic weaves its lighthearted mix of silly and serious with increasingly heavy-handed spiels on self-esteem"	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Mae Whitman is the best thing here, and the funny actress deserves better material than what's offered in this derivative and superficial ode to teen self-acceptance (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
