This is a very middling teen comedy that also happens to be the Christy pick for August. Bianca (Mae Whitman) is a typical high school girl. She has two best friends and a crush on a boy she can't talk to without stammering. When her neighbor Wes (Robbie Amell) lets slip at a party that she is a DUFF --the Designated Ugly Fat Friend-- for her two much hotter compatriots, it wrecks her previously well-ordered life. Bianca browbeats Wes into giving her a makeover but soon runs afoul of his bitchy ex-girlfriend (Bella Thorne) and her penchant for viral videos.
This is basically an updated She's All That for the camera phone age. There's nothing new being said here but it's not horribly made or acted so I'm not going to tell you to avoid it. Robbie Amell is the breakout star here, in my opinion. He stole every scene he was in and provided nearly all of the (relatively few) laughs.
