The Duff

...quickly and convincingly, it becomes its own funny and fast-paced phenomenon with its own modern-day charm.

...Cagan's playful script finds sly ways to tackle modern matters of body image, cyber-torment, and social strata while allowing Whitman and Amell to show off their considerable charms in the process.

Ari Sandel’s The Duff is a standard-issue high-school film, but it has some funny material.

Mycket kring dagens sociala medier och digital mobbing gör filmen dagsfärsk. Problemen, elakheterna och lösningarna är tidlösa.

Mae Whitman er filmens egentlige gevinst, den tidligere barnestjerne (...) griber sin første hovedrolle med stor energi og en dejlig, uhøjtidelig og selvudleverende stil.
