This film was at an unfair advantage, as I came of age during an era when the teenage romantic comedy (think,
American Pie,
Varsity Blues,
Can't Hardly Wait, etc.) was at its artistic pinnacle; as a poor man's
She's All That (itself a modern retelling of
My Fair Lady),
The DUFF added very little to that conversation, save allowing some of the pretty people to be decent, well-rounded humans, but Mae Whitman was engaging enough to make it worth a look if it ever comes on cable TV.
