It occasionally plays like a mashup of Mean Girls and Easy A, but Whitman's performance gives The DUFF a spiky energy all its own.

It's the first great teen comedy since Mean Girls.

Whitman displays flawless comic timing and consistently makes inspiring choices in terms of delivery, reaction, even the slightest facial expression. She shines confidently in a self-deprecating role, and it's irresistible.

[Mae Whitman] helps elevate a predictable story into one many won't mind watching.
February 23, 2016
An earnest high-school comedy that mostly feels like the dried-out, overheated leftovers of John Hughes.

The DUFF brings something different to the genre.

It's hard not to see "The Duff" becoming an instant teen classic.

As she proved in Arrested Development, Whitman is great -- although without her tremendous comic skill The DUFF would be, well, duff.

Why is it so wonderful? Because wit and charm matter, and The DUFF has a good deal of both. The cast will be stars, the gags will be immortal, and you'll still be watching this movie years from now.

It's not "Mean Girls." It's not even "Easy A." But it's definitely a solid B.

This is a well-intentioned and sometimes quite sharp high school movie that falls just short of the mark due to a few way-off-the-mark scenes and too much heavy-handed preaching.

Always fun to see how high school gets techno-updated. The phone-and-social-media insanity portrayed here makes the beepers of 1995's 'Clueless' look like trilobite fossils.
