The Duff (stylized as The DUFF) is a 2015 American teen comedy film directed by Ari Sandel and written by Josh A. Cagan, based on the novel of the same name by Kody Keplinger. The film stars Mae Whitman, Robbie Amell, Bella Thorne, Bianca Santos, Skyler Samuels, Ken Jeong, and Allison Janney.Bianca (Whitman) is an intelligent, suburban, white, American, self-respecting teenage girl who doesn't conform to societal standards of beauty and romantic compatibility. Bianca is insulted and devastated when Wes (Amell), football player and on-again/off-again boyfriend of Madison (Thorne), says she's the titular Designated Ugly Fat Friend - but she soon realizes that Wes is right; the students in her high school are only interested in her as a way to get to her beautiful friends Jess (Samuels) and Casey (Santos). She takes her anger out on her friends and 'unfriends' them on social media and in person...The novel is later followed up by LOL: Lying Out Loud. | |

Childhood Friend Romance: Wesley and Bianca. They were next-door neighbours and grew up together, until Wes became a Dumb Jock who annoyed the hell out of Bianca. After Bianca got transformed from a shy DUFF to a bright, beautiful girl, with Wes’ help nonetheless, the two end up together. | |

Misplaced Retribution | |
| The Duff / int_2e8875f0 | comment |
Misplaced Retribution: After finding out that she's considered the DUFF, Bianca feels as though Jess and Casey have been using her to make themselves look good, and she lashes out at them and cut ties. In truth, they never thought of her as a DUFF and hung out with her because they were best friends. When the principal confiscates everyone's phones until he gets to the bottom of who posted the humiliating video of Bianca, nasty comments are reserved for her for "narcing" (she didn't complain to the faculty, they heard about it on their own because, you know, viral video) and not the principal who issued the order or Caitlin and Madison, who posted the video and now aren't coming forward without even the slightest bit of remorse for how it hurts everyone else. | |

She finally gets a date with her crush, Toby, but later finds out he was just using her in order to connect with her friends Jess and Casey, just like everyone else. | |

Instant Humiliation Just Add Youtube: Caitlyn caught Bianca having her little dance and action on the mannequin pretending it was Toby and later attempt to flirt with a bunch of guys, filmed it on her phone, later edited it to match the beat of Anaconda by Nicki Minaj and #Selfie by The Chainsmokers and uploaded it to YouTube and gained a viral hit just to humiliate Bianca further. Those videos got taken off later as cyberbullying though. | |

Inverted with "The DUFF" concept: basically you hang around people or a person that makes you look better in comparison.

Cool Teacher | |
| The Duff / int_cf231d54 | comment |
Cool Teacher: Mr. Arthur. Though a tad eccentric, he's the only teacher who doesn't hate his students, lust after them, or overreact to every little thing. He's even cool enough to brush it off when Bianca tells him to eat a dick when she mistakes him for another student who was going to tease her. | |

High-School Dance | |
| The Duff / int_f0fc8518 | comment |
High-School Dance: Homecoming. Very little importance is actually placed on it beyond Bianca having to write an article for the school paper about what it means to her. Although it's where the film's climax takes place, including Bianca finally getting Wes. | |

Brainless Beauty | |
| The Duff / int_f26d5e66 | comment |
Brainless Beauty: Wes is a downplayed version. He's a handsome, charming guy who has little talent for or interest in intellectual pursuits and he is a bit of an airhead in other ways. However he's far from cartoonishly stupid and he does have a much stronger grasp of the unwritten social rules of high school and of fashion than the otherwise much brainier Bianca. | |

Little Black Dress | |
| The Duff / int_fc3f3cf3 | comment |
Little Black Dress: Subverted. Bianca dressed in one to the party with intention to get the guy but exposed her to the concept of "DUFF" and get pissed off instead, and she (and her friends) fired up the sewing machine to mix and match the LBD with her favorite black/red plaid T-shirt to create the Homecoming dress that she really shines in. | |

Innocently Insensitive | |
| The Duff / int_ff17ccf1 | comment |
Innocently Insensitive: Despite being actually a decent guy, Wes has moments of this. He apparently thought calling Bianca "DUFF" which contains fat and ugly in it even though it's a from of brutal honesty about her status at school and bringing a girlfriend he goes on and off with to Bianca's secret hiding spot to have a date are good ideas until Bianca pointed it out to him and how she's hurt by it. | |
