GBF

I expected so much from this movie with all the good reviews out there! And most of us had to wait almost a year to get to see the movie, but it's really worth it once you see it."GBF" becomes an instant teen classic like Mean Girls and Clueless (like it says on the cover), the script is full of awesome lines that will become as classic as the ones from the two teen classics I mentioned. The cast is really great, everyone plays well their role, and even if it GBF becomes goofy at times, they know how to be sensitive to all the gay kids that are out there, this movie is just more than just stereotypes (the film has the typical high school kids: the popular girls, the non-popular kids, the outsiders, the homophobes...), it's about accepting yourself! Although it's a little predictable, the movie still makes you laugh with so many pop culture mentions, and probably if you're only a teen/young adult you will understand the jokes of the movies.I honestly don't care about the clothes the characters wear on a movie or TV shows, but the clothes worn on GBF are awesome; everybody's outfits are great, and I bet they will become as classic as the ones from Clueless! Darren Stein directed an amazing film, and it's really worth all the wait. Even straight people will enjoy it! Give it a try without judging it! I had a great time and I see myself watching it over and over again.

I had no idea this movie existed until I ran across it during a recent Amazon k-hole. I added it to my watchlist and streamed it the day it was available.If you ask me for criticisms of the movie I could go on for days. The acting is okay but not awesome. The story is shallow and predictable with weird developments that may have been the result of less than stellar editing. The characters are thin and one-dimensional. The portrayals of gays, Mormons, blacks, and every minority group are stereotypical to the point of being offensive. The make-up artists did a horrible job trying to make these characters look like high school students (the girls were crusty and one of the boys was dolled up like Jerri Blank from Strangers With Candy). The list could go on. So I can't figure out why this movie worked, but it is definitely one of the most adorable movies I have seen in a long time.There are great one-liners. The scene with Megan Mullally watching and commenting on Broke Back Mountain is one of the best. "Oh, Heath, it's freezing. Swallow your pride and go in the tent. Well, I guess necessity is the mother of invention."Ultimately, my advice is WATCH THIS MOVIE! You probably won't find anything redeeming in it, but you will definitely enjoy it.

No one is going to go into this looking for the next Oscar worthy performance, but in the likes of "She's the Man" and "Easy A", "GBF provides an incredibly fun, and devilishly campy, romp through the eyes of a snarky young man as he navigates the crazy and often times hilarious bumps of high school, while battling the social classes. The catch with this particular movie, is that instead of a quirky, upbeat female lead, we are introduce to a gay male instead; which was enough for me pick it up in a heartbeat.The best part about the movie is that it doesn't try too hard to be something it's not, and what it does try to be, it flawlessly achieves. too often gays are relegated to the sidelines as the sassy coworkers/friends of the female lead, or a completely tragic asexual character. However you feel about cliche over exaggerated high school movies, one cannot deny that it is refreshing to see a young gay male in a movie act...well...normal?Without getting too winded, I will just say that I loved watching this movie and feeling like I could easily classify it with the likes of "Mean Girls" "Clueless" "Bring it On" and all those other really fun chick flicks.

Me and my friends regularly watch this movie and play a drinking game. Slowly get invested with every character, and it generally is just a fun watch.

Seventeen-year-old Tanner is not your stereotypical gay high school boy. He's not in drama class. He isn't into pop disco music. He has no remarkable fashion or grooming insight. He doesn't even hook up with his gay best friend when given an hour alone together. The script intelligently calls out the worst gay stereotypes for the laughs they deserve. The plot is familiar but never predictable. Presumably this is rated "R" because of the gay theme. That's too bad because this is certainly a cute high school drama any kid beyond the age of ten could watch. My only quibble might be with casting. The leads only occasionally create a credible connection. But certainly worth a look.

A high-school boy is unexpectedly outed, resulting in the three queen bees of the school clamoring for him to be their "Gay Best Friend." Michael J. Willett, in the title role, is a real find, I'm looking forward to seeing him in other projects, and Sasha Pieterse ("Pretty Little Liars") channels Heather Chandler and Courtney Shayne (minus the drain hull and jawbreaker), she is gorgeous and perfect for this role. As with all teen movies, there are the usual stereotypes and cliches, but this is still a fun watch with some amusing bitchspeak and a cast that aims to please.

If anyone is concerned about the rating GBF does not deserve the R rating. It’s no more offensive than “Mean Girls” and doesn’t even say the F word. Went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I freaking love GBF. I cannot count the times I have watched this and still love it. The movie plays with the stereo types and also calls them out. At times the characters go over the top, but that’s what makes this movie work, the film knows what it wants to be. All the characters are a hoot to watch. Megan Mullally in particular is hilarious as Brent’s Mom. I can’t recommend this film enough. GBF is a fun time.

Pourrit on peut pas changer la langue y a que de l'anglais je me suis faite arnaquer ils pourraient mettre en français au moins

Like the DVD cover says, this really is the new Clueless. Like the best high school comedies (Heathers, Clueless, Mean Girls, etc.), this one has a razor sharp sense of humour but also manages to be relevant and to say something of value. It's funny, well-acted, and actually pretty important. Highly recommended!

I bought this as i'm a massive fan of the shows Pretty Little Liars and Desperate Housewives and seeing too of the lead ladies being from them shows i went and got it!!!The Film is about a group of friends 2 of which are in the closet but as Tanner shows off his new Phone Brent says they should download a gay dating app to see if there are any other gay men in the school. Needless to this leads to Tanner being outed and the 3 clique leaders want to have what is the latest thing a GBF!! So cue a makeover montage and backstabbing aplenty!!!I love this movie alot!!! the actors are great the music is so brilliant extras include a 40 min making of trailers and more....Think mean girls with gay men love this movie so much!!!!

3 Prom Queen front runners, fight for the attention of their schools first only gay boy because the GBF (Gay Best Friend) is the must have accessory.I is funny watching this closeted comic book geek finding his fabulous side.

I've been watching a lot of very serious DVDs recently so bought G.B.F. to have some fun & wanted something to relaxed with. I was expecting it to be just 100% camp as you can tell from the cover. But it's more than that. Yes you get the camp stuff that is fun. But you get a few underlying storyline too. One being the blonde girl, and one being the friendship between the main two guys. I wont mention anymore as i don't want to give the plot away.At the end is the day yes, It's a camp film, but stick with it, watch it & trust me, you will enjoy it!
