The D.U.F.F

The D.U.F.F

Welcome to my review of The Du…..  HOMER NO THIS ISN’T A REVIEW ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE BEER!!!  Ahem ….. The D.U.F.F

What does Homecoming mean for me?  Frankly I haven’t been to a homecoming since high school  so yeah there is that small detail.  This is a tween chick flick.  Albeit very awkwardly funny and for those of us who have been out of high school for a while….. prepare to have the floodgates of awkward moments in your life come rushing back to you.  Once the word Duff gets defined it brings to mind some of those random experiences where you felt like people were just using you to get something….. It is explained in the movie that even men can be Duffs… but we don’t call it that.. we call it wingman or diffuser.  A label placed a on friend that makes us “look better” or a gatekeeper to get our friends some points with potential dates.  Anyway you spin it, it can hurt or it can be a great asset.  

The D.U.F.F in of itself is a good movie with a great message.  Believe in and be yourself and your positive vibes will shine through.  It also sheds light on how to handle bullying of any kind.  The main character Bianca grew a lot in the short time we meet her.  She went from hard, to insecure and then to enlightened enough to realize it didn’t matter what happened in that moment.  She gained a confidence that not many of us could discover until we were way out of high school or in college.

The highlights of the movie came from the awkwardly funny situations Bianca puts herself in.  While attempting go from approachable to dateable.  I was skeptical going into the movie but by the end I found myself enjoying the film and having a good time laughing at the humor and story presented to me and my date.  It is a mixture of happy and fun and feeling bad for Bianca as she attempts to grow that makes this movie so appealing.  

If you are looking for a movie to bring your date to than take your date to see The D.U.F.F.  On a scale of 1 to 5 I give this movie a 4.  It has it’s moments but it is by no means the perfect film.  Some of the scenes just seem out of place and I feel if the directors added a bit more in certain places it would have been slightly more cohesive.   But be that as it may.  Go out and enjoy!
