The movie develops the story quite well actually. Yet the main theme itself is very much a crazy one. Unfortunately it's too segmented and doesn't really be an all inclusive movie like what it's meant to be. The whole thing with the Mormons is a sad depiction of some people's hypocrisy. The depiction of the gay kisses is just a turn out for some. And I must say that this movie quite tested my patience and tolerance. The jokes are mostly looking forced out to be funny. The comedic moments succeeded only on the depiction of those awkward moments. The acting overall is just a so-so. The movie can be an entertaining piece of work if only there's less homosexual activity depicted in it.

I was totally delighted with this film. So far, its the Gay equivalent of Sixteen Candles or Clueless. Finally a well made Gay high comedy has arrived. This and The Geography Club prove that such films can be cute and sweet without being lame, dreary and crude like the second Another Gay Movie. Art Direction, Costume, Sets and the whole look of the film are just right for its subject. Casting is as close to perfect as you can get for this type of farce. Michael J. Willett is adorable and charming as the lead, never once slipping into stereotype. Paul Iacono is wonderful as Brent and he plays all his pretentious goofiness perfectly, but comparing him to Jack in that awful Will and Grace is not right. The Jack character in real life would be an unbearable completely tedious leech. Brent in real life would be a silly young gay man who actually has a giving heart. Well played, the Sophie character is the moral compass and Derek is the metro hetero male nerd in Brent's group. The girls fit perfectly as does the horny Topher character. The older character actors are used to great effect especially Natasha Lyonne. Direction, music, language and the use of color make this film a wonderful piece of fluff. There are a number of major truths about being who you are in this teen comedy that make it more real and worthwhile than just a cheap stupid parody. Now, how about the Gay equivalent of The Perks of Being a Wallflower (yes I know there is a Gay character in Perks, but it is not really a gay film). I want to see more.

I was first drawn to the movie G.B.F when I watched the trailer on youtube, it was a new, innovative high school comedy about a gay best friend, the comedic plot was what initially drew me, as I believe movies about or affiliated with LGBT are essential, especially today. I was enticed by the talented cast which included Natasha Lyonne (Orange Is The New Black) and Sasha Pieterse (Pretty Little Liars) they are both well known actresses and are incredibly talented, if you watch OITNB or PLL you may agree. I also read an article which compared G.B.F to the likes of Mean Girls and Clueless which intrigued me. Now you can say all you want about 'high school' comedies, I agree it's an easy concept an 11 year old could of came up with but Mean Girls and Clueless are apart from the rest. They are Iconic and really represent each generation, Clueless (1995) and Mean Girls (2004) a decade later and you have G.B.F. Ultimately I am disappointed to say it did not live up to expectations. I completely understand where they were trying to take this Movie and parts of it were exceptional, but it wasn't enough! Fortunately there were some really great performances especially from Sasha Pieterse as Fawcett, she was surprisingly likable given her character and her performance was believable as she may be one of the few who can actually act in this film. Now the lead Tanner Daniels played by Micheal J Willet, when I started watching his character he was ultimately likable, from the very beginning, although as the movie dragged on I found him aggravating and annoying. Caprice and Brent made as an entertaining duo towards the end but they were not outstanding. This movie being a comedy was funny in parts but some of the acting was unnecessarily over the top and annoying. Now the overuse of abbreviated words!! Leaving high school not so long ago, I understand that not that much has changed, we do not speak Instant Messenger and although sometimes it can be funny, this time, the overuse of abbreviations let the movie down entirely.Also there is a scene where Brent and his friend are supposed to stare at the others parading down the hallway, he even says a line but the others are not even down the hallway yet! If you've watched the movie you will know what part I'm referring too. Also instead of the unbelievable pink cans for alcohol could they not of just used plastic cups? Seriously! I do really appreciate this concept, three, high school, prom queen front runners battling it out to win Tanners friendship, as he is the only out gay guy at there School. I appraise there efforts. They handled it well as the premise was it could be overly offensive, G.B.F being a trend at there School, a gay guy being more of on object than a human being. Parts of the script were fantastic but the majority let it down. It angers me because this could of been a fantastic movie, I understand the writers idea, although someone went massively wrong in the making of this film. Final verdict, 6/10, Sasha Pieterse made the best out of a bad situation!

I enjoy light comedies and gay indie films, but lower my expectations a little when it comes to teen comedies, so I was absolutely delighted that the screenwriter, director, and cast hit this out of the park. I actually turned the closed captioning on so I wouldn't miss a word of the fast-paced banter and all the crazy-fun slang words. The script and actors bring nuance to characters that are often otherwise just stereotypes. There are so many hilarious lines and scenes, but perhaps the best was when one of the just- out gay teens sits down with his overcaring Mom (played flawlessly by Megan Mullally, Karen from "Will and Grace"), who's rented a bunch of the most inappropriate gay movies to watch while newly out and/or with your mom ("Milk," "Boys Don't Cry," "Shortbus," and "Brokeback Mountain"), as evidenced by the numerous outtakes played over the end credits where the actor playing opposite Megan can't stop bursting out laughing at Megan's deadpan reaction commentary to the sex scene in Brokeback. One of the best gay indie comedies I've ever seen, and if I knew any gay teens I'd buy them a copy -- while a farce, there's a lot of good stuff about self-identity and self esteem (but never devolving into preaching) in this R-rated comedy. If you enjoy light comedies, give this one a try.
