The Duff is another movie in the expansive Teen RomCom, but it stands out for its charm, message, and how the plot is delivered. Is it perfect? No. However, Mae Whitman (Bianca) is charming throughout, Robbie Amell (Wesley) does good work, and Ken Jeong (Mr. Arthur) nails every scene he's in. Bianca Santos (Casey), Skyler Samuels (Jess), and Bella Thorne (Madison Morgan) play their roles effectively. Allison Janney (Dottie) also does well with her role.
Yes, the plot pushes towards the genre rather than harsh realism during certain points as expected. Those moments within the teen genre of films is always present, and shouldn't take away from the overall feel of the film. Overall, The Duff is fun.
Real Score: 6.6
