destinylives52 Manny's Movie Musings: "G.B.F." stands for Gay Best Friend. Michael J. Willett plays a gay, High School student who is still in the closet; his life is turned upside down when he is accidentally outed, and his celebrity status in school quickly rises when the top 3 "it" girls vies for his attention so that each one can claim him as a GBF (purely to increase the cool status of the girls). Willett goes along for the ride, as the three girls give him protection from all the ignorant hate; but he risks losing who he really is in his mad scramble to be the most coveted accessory to the cool kids. What sets "G.B.F." apart from the typical teen comedies is the sharp, wickedly funny, one-liners that come at you non-stop. My most memorable, movie moment is the scene when a character played by Andrea Bowen is talking about sex acts using acronyms: for example, "hj," "bj," and "rj." If you don't know what they are, you're too young for me to explain them!Mannysmemorablemoviemoments

Johan Dondokambey 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.

Jesse Boland This movie is very well made,never apologizing for anything, and why should it? There is a very unPCness delivered by an excellent cast who are all fully committed to the story, and a very well written story it just happens to be. Mean girls to the extreme, and full of tongue in cheek real life truthful feelings. The entire movie has great background, and the entire screen is filled very well most of the time, so you may Enjoy this a second time. Over all I really did like this movie, It started out kind of corny, but then the characters just fell into place, and they all start to become more real, and vulnerable. More of the truth begins to slip out before it all hits the floor. So I would recommend this for Mothers to watch with their Sons, and for others to just watch it, there is a lot of good humour in here, and a good feeling or 2 to be had as well.

thornyc 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.
