larry-222-594114 The humor is fast paced, cheeky, full of innuendo, clever and sweet. The language is full of metaphors and brilliant. They talk just like the people I hang around with. The comedy delivery and acting are wonderful. The plot is perfect for a high school story. I loved it. Just watch it and make up your own mind but I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Guillermo Bosque Summary: G.B.F. is highly entertaining, original and likable; even though it doesn't succeed when it tries to be a deeper film. 67/100 (B-)In G.B.F., social warfare erupts when three high school clique queens battle for supremacy: drama diva Caprice, Mormon princess 'Shley and blonde fashionista Fawcett. When unassuming Tanner is outted, he finds himself cast as the hottest new teen-girl accessory: The Gay Best Friend. The clique queens immediately pounce and makeover Tanner into their ideal arm candy, forcing him to choose between popularity and the true friends - including his own B.F.F. Brent - that he's leaving behind. G.B.F. has an interesting and original premise. I enjoyed it, it was very funny and doesn't deserve an R rating at all. This movie was hilarious and what I really liked about it was the amazing supporting cast, Taylor Frey as "Topher" had the best scenes in the movie, he was great.G.B.F. has a mostly unknown cast, but there were some famous young actresses such as: Sasha Pieterse (Pretty Little Liars), Molly Tarlov (Awkward) and the actress/singer Joanna "JoJo" Levesque (RV, Aquamarine). They were quite likable, and I'll be honest, I saw this film mainly because I am a huge fan of Joanna's work, and she was good in this movie. G.B.F. is everything but predictable. I liked its execution, the first 15 minutes were laugh-out-loud and straight to the point. The whole first act was kinda of sad, and deep sometimes. The rest of the movie is more about the prom and some funny stuff. The film at the third act tries to go deep again, but it feels forced and ineffective. Some sexual scenes in the film were very awkward to watch, so if you are not familiar with this stuff, just don't see it.G.B.F. has its funny parts, some of them were very funny. I enjoyed it so much and I was entertained. The movie leverages its uncommon premise and you care for the main character, he's shy and likable. G.B.F. is like a very good T.V. film. You will laugh a lot and is enjoyable. It's just a small, remarkable, indie film, hard to forget. I know that this is a very low-budget film, so don't expect many locations. I recommend it if you like teen comedies. The drama and the deep stuff doesn't work, but the comedy was quite well done. The script is sometimes laughable, but it works, it was amusing and mostly effective. Sometimes in the second act the direction was messy and the relation between the characters was confusing. But overall, I still recommend it. (B-)
euroGary 'GBF' is set in an American high school where no pupil has ever admitted being homosexual (a reticence possibly explained by one of its main cliques being of Mormons). But this changes when comic book geek Tanner is accidentally outed, and to the school's most popular cool girls he suddenly becomes that most desirable of accessories: the Gay Best Friend.Tanner's journey from outsider to prom king, and how it affects both him and the uncool friends he leaves behind (including his 'still in the closet despite being the screamiest queen since Graham Norton' best friend) forms the meat of the film. You'll be able to cross off the teen movie plot developments as they arrive with clunking regularity: Tanner's former friends are disappointed in him; the school's most popular girl is actually insecure and simply wants a friend; at the end there's a big speech about being true to oneself and everyone claps. Not usually seen in teen movies, but in countless other genres, is the entirely predictable 'we already know' reaction of Tanner's parents when he comes out to them.The characters are also from the teen movie checklist (the prom queen, the jock, the cynical girl, the less-attractive-than-the-cute-lead best friend). One of the film's most telling (possibly unintentionally) moments is when a white girl tells the film's sole main black character how she's always wanted an 'SBF' - Sassy Black Friend.But perhaps that's the point: this is a bog-standard teen movie, but with a gay boy as the lead character instead of being one of the main character's hangers-on. There's a lot of laughs (particularly when Tanner, nonplussed at his parents' calm reaction to his coming out, suggests he might instead be bisexual and his father bursts out laughing). You'll also have fun spotting the famous television faces in supporting roles - Jonathan Silverman, Rebecca Gayheart, Megan Mullally... In short, if teen movies are all much the same, there's no point in watching more than one of them, and you could do worse than make this the one you watch.
Gordon-11 This film is about a gay guy who got outed in high school. He instantly becomes the most sought after guy by the hottest girls in school.The script of "G.B.F" is great! The story is hilarious right from the start, with the hottest girls wanting to have a gay best friend for various reasons. Tanner enjoys the new found attention, and he instantly becomes the coolest guy in high school. Watching the girls battle it out for the gay best friend title is so funny, the battle is so full on, with loads of attitude. The characters are all very developed and differentiated. I really like the fact that even the supporting characters are memorable, like the Asian guy and the Mormon guy. It's such a drama filled fun film, I really enjoyed watching it.
