Finally a teen comedy that packs charm and fun. It’s been a while sinceMean Girlschanged the landscape of teen high school comedies, and it’s been even longer since the likes ofCluelessand the John Hughes teen movies of the 80’s guided a generation of American youth.The Duff(指定的丑陋的胖朋友)有点敬意那些现代的青少年经典。

Bianca (Mea Whitman) is not your typical nerd/unpopular girl. She’s actually best friends with two of the high schools most popular and pretties girls. So what’s the deal with Bianca then? Well, she’s the girl that pretty girls befriend, just so they feel more attractive being around someone lesser. Bianca is unaware of how everyone at the school views her. She’s the gatekeeper for anyone interested in her friends. While at a party Bianca comes across the popular school jock Wesley Rush (Robbie Amell), who also happens to be her neighbor. Wesley refers to her as a “DUFF” (Designated Ugly Fat Friend), it’s from that moment that Bianca realizes how the entire school views her.

Instead of pitting the jock against the nerd, the film goes in a non-stereotypical direction. Wesley and Bianca come to a joint agreement. He will help get her out of her shell and land a date with her crush, a guy named Toby, in return she will help Wes pass his chemistry class. What ensues is a series of trial and error events that draws the unlikely duo closer to each other, all while Wesley’s ex tries to get in the way and further ruin Bianca’s life.

导演阿里·桑德尔(Ari Sandel)和作家乔什·卡根(Josh Cagan)在传达比安卡(Bianca)在整个戴上达夫(Duff)标签中所经历的情感方面做得非常出色。电影中有一些真正的时刻,您对比安卡和韦斯都有感觉。这部电影充满了许多高中生应该能够与之联系的迷人而尴尬的时刻。韦斯将比安卡带到购物中心的场景,并试图赶上随机的家伙并要求他们的电话号码。我们大多数人在生活中经历了类似的时刻,我们的朋友敦促我们走向一个有吸引力的陌生人,并试图开始对话,而这总是以绊脚石,摸索,干嘴和腋下的汗水而散发出来。

最真诚的时刻发生在韦斯和比安卡在树林里共同讨论卫斯理在家中的问题时,韦斯和比安卡有亲密而内心的时刻。像这样的场景使电影有些信誉,并将其与另一个令人难忘的青少年喜剧区分开来。

A genuine moment between Bianca and Wes

If you haven’t heard ofMea Whitman, you better start noticing. She is the rock and heart of the movie. At times you may feel annoyance with her character, who is portrayed as overly sassy and rude, on the other hand you will fall in-love with her genuine persona and struggle to fit in. Whitman adds layers to a role that easily could have been cliche and vanilla.

罗比·阿梅尔(Robbie Amell)扮演您会看到的最迷人和甜美的电影骗子之一,他比典型的笨蛋更像是傻瓜。他拥有年轻的汤姆·克鲁斯(Tom Cruise)的外观,汤姆·克鲁斯(Tom Cruise)是一个带有表演的Abercrombie模特。这是一个真正有潜力在好莱坞浪潮的演员。完美的铸造。

Bella Thorneplays the evil mean girl Madison Morgan. Thorne is also an up and coming actor. She is also cast really well. A blend of bitchy, jealous, and ultra pretty is what makes her a good villain.

在电影中露面的是肯·郑(Ken Jeong),是一名支持老师。郑是他通常的娱乐和残酷的自我。艾莉森·詹尼(Allison Janney)扮演比安卡(Bianca)的半神经母亲多蒂(Dottie)。看来詹尼(Janney)在担任这个角色方面很有趣。

蓝光/DVD组合具有一些有趣的特殊功能。亚搏电子电竞官方网站达夫撞上了红地毯is a 3 minute plus compilation of footage and excerpts from the Hollywood premiere of the movie.Extended Gag Reel是3分钟的汇编,这很有趣。Bringing The Book To Lifeis over 2 minutes documenting the book inspiration for the movie.青少年喜剧和达夫是2分钟feature looking at some of the various teen comedies in comparison to the film.The Duff Filesis a 1 minute plus feature giving you a quick glimpse into the main characters in the movie. Overall, the features are fairly short, but fun.

The Duffis a refreshing teen comedy that might be the best of it’s genre sinceMean Girls。它具有内心,魅力和幽默。表演令人印象深刻,演员表是出色的。当然,这部电影有些片刻。故事的可预测性使得中途相当明显。有些场景过于老套和俗气。最引人注目的是,这部电影可能是惠特曼(Whitman),阿梅尔(Amell)和索恩(Thorne)制作中三个潜在明星的开幕式。这是一部尴尬的甜蜜电影,对青少年甚至年轻人都很有趣,他们可以在高中时代回忆起。在电影中,社交媒体的结合及其在这一代青少年中的作用是合适的。最后,电影传达了一个很好的信息,拥抱您是谁并拥有它。

思想:I really enjoyed this film. As someone way removed from my high school days, I probably shouldn’t have related to it and enjoyed it as much as I did, but I did. The movie has a nice message for today’s youth, embrace your faults and be you. It’s a positive message that the movie conveys, in the days where bullying is done in person and through social media. I had no idea who Mae Whitman was prior to this film, what she proved to me is that this girl is dynamic, brings life to her character, she’s real. Still a bit puzzled how a pretty girl like her could be considered a buffer that guys wouldn’t date? Hard to believe.
