When Bianca's neighbor opens her eyes to the fact that she's a DUFF (designated ugly fat friend), she enlists his help on becoming date-able in exchange for her chemistry notes.My Thoughts*:
I really really enjoyed this movie.
I loved Bianca: she was sassy, smart, weird, relatable, and entertaining. I loved Bianca acting like a goof-ball during the clothing montage.
I Loved her mother - from her professional life to her dating sites to her advice at the end.
I liked Wesley - he was entertaining even though he was cocky. I liked the moments he had with Bianca.
I liked how classic mean girl assumed she was going to be famous and had one of her friends film everything about her life - just in case.
I liked her Bianca's two friends - they both had talents and not just a pretty face.
I love it when the book author has a cameo in the movie!
*I fully admit that I haven't read the book this movie was based on yet. So I'll ask you, how closely did this match?
Final Thoughts: Buy this one for the Teen Dept in your library - but watch it yourself first!
I read the book so long ago, but I remember really liking it. (I still have it, so I must have liked it) :) I liked the movie, too, but wasn't sure about Mae Whitman.
