GBF

Director Darren Stein's frequently on-target satire had me laughing enough to keep it interesting.

The result is mostly swishy, sweet fun, although admittedly it might have benefitted from a bit of tweaking to fluff up bigger, better, and bitchier one-liners.

Chronic bubble-gum highschool farce in which gay characters are reduced to tokenistic social accessories.

An original premise and earnest tone go a long way.

Fun, sugary sweet and just the right side of kitsch.

I guess I've seen worse teen sex comedies, but it's rare to encounter one this stupid.

G.B.F is a breath of fresh air to the tired and usually mundane teen genre.

On the surface the film resembles a gay reworking of a John Hughes teen flick, except the slang often rings hollow and the script too often falls back on cliché and caricature.

G.B.F. is an endearing and sweet coming-of-age comedy, as good a teen movie as the classics we know and love.

The film is cliché-heavy, yes, but GBF has some LOL moments and real heart, and gets its point across without too much Hollywood sentiment.
