“Fast paced, very funny, and a comedy not afraid to actually touch on important social issues with a deft touch. The best teen comedy since Mean Girls.”
— Michelle DiMartino,
“Remember when purse-sized canines were the must-have accessory? Apparently, adorable puppies have been replaced by the G.B.F. (gay best friend). It’s about time ;) [and] director Darren Stein assembled a great cast, mixing newbies with veteran actors.”
— Donovan,
“If it doesn’t already sound like your new favorite film, just look at this cast! Sasha stars alongside Awkward.’s Molly Tarlov, funny lady Megan Mullally, and Natasha Lyonne. It's part Mean Girls, part Easy A. In other words, it's perfect.”
— Crystal Bell,
“…absolutely hilarious. If you love teen comedies from the ’90s, you’ll love this. It’s hardcore referential.”
— Stacy Lambe,
ABOUT THE FILM
LONG SYNOPSIS
The fight for supremacy between a school’s most popular girls takes an unexpected turn when Tanner (Michael J. Willett) becomes its first openly gay student. As they race to bag the big trend in fashion accessories, the Gay Best Friend, Tanner, must choose between skyrocketing popularity and the friends he is leaving behind. Darren Stein (Jawbreaker) returns with another comic send-up of high school clique culture, including memorable performances by Megan Mullally and Natasha Lyonne.
