This film is based on a book by
Kodi Keplinger. Bianca is doing OK
in high school. She gets good
grades and she has two cool friends, Casey and Jess. Everything is going well until she has a conversation with
her neighbor Wesley. He tells her
that Casey and Jess really are not her friends but she is the designated ugly
fat friend that makes them look better.
At first, Bianca doesn’t believe anything he says but then she starts to
take a second look. What choice
does she have? She turns to Wesley
for tips since he seems right in his observations.
The truth is that
Casey and Jess really like Bianca and they don’t think of her as the DUFF. Bianca’s worst enemy is Madison. She is a future reality star in her
mind and everyone needs to fall into place to make that happen. She says and means hurtful things but
she doesn’t know how to act any other way. I would not return to high school unless there was a huge
pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!!
This film is better than a lot of the teen focused films. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
