The Duff-elokuva kertoo lukiolaistytöstä, Bianca Piperista, joka on erityinen dorka: hän ei olekaan sosiaalisesti avuton, kuten päältä saattaisi luulla. Hän on se, joka selviää läpi lukion draamat takkanaan liika itsetietoisuus. Lyhenne "DUFF" tulee sanoista Designated Ugly Fat Friend = Määritelty Ruma Lihava Kaveri. Tuosta nimenomaisesta lyhenteestä kaikki alkaa, sillä Bianca saa selville olevansa DUFF ja päättää päästä pois nimityksestä. Elokuva sisältää draamaa, poikia, komediaa ja ihmissuhteita, kaikkea sitä, mitä elokuvalta joka sijoittuu lukioon voisi odottaa.



3a. I would love to see this film cause it's said to be very realistic. The protagonist is a funny, real and "head in the clouds" type of person who is always capable of switching from sincerity to sarcasm easily.The actress, Mae Whitman, is said to make and excellent performance in the movie. And who wouldn't like to see some high school drama?



4b. WHIPLASH: the movie is sort of a "mano y mano" between this young jazz drummer and his abusive music teacher and what are we willing to sacrifice to be the Great.

THE AMERICAN SNIPER: in the review they said it was boring and not very realistic to the actual episode of killing, family issues and post-traumatic stress which the leading character is going through. Also Bradley Cooper was not very valid for this role due to his natural charm.

TESTAMENT OF YOUTH: incredibly moving, painful and beautifully shot. It misses the sense of anger, rage and fatality that is going on in the war.

WILD: well cast, a personal growth memoir, a movie with real heart and Reese Witherspoon in great in the film.

4c. I haven't seen any of the film above yet, but I would love to see every single one of them because of their massive popularity.
