G.B.F.: O Meu Melhor Amigo Gay

This film is about a gay guy who got outed in high school. He instantly becomes the most sought after guy by the hottest girls in school.

The script of "G.B.F" is great! The story is hilarious right from the start, with the hottest girls wanting to have a gay best friend for various reasons. Tanner enjoys the new found attention, and he instantly becomes the coolest guy in high school. Watching the girls battle it out for the gay best friend title is so funny, the battle is so full on, with loads of attitude. The characters are all very developed and differentiated. I really like the fact that even the supporting characters are memorable, like the Asian guy and the Mormon guy. It's such a drama filled fun film, I really enjoyed watching it.

I watched the trailer last night and saw Sasha Pieterse in it. Since I have always been a huge fan of PLL I decided to watch it.

I must say, i never thought i'd like this movie. Since i never watch a gay movie before, i really don't know what to expect. But it was not that bad. It was a really fun movie to watch. I was surprisingly entertained. It was hilarious that I couldn't stop laughing throughout the movie. It was well-acted. I literally loved every character in the movie even the mean bee and drama queen. The movie was well made. Plus, i love what it stands for.

Gay or not, this is definitely a movie everyone will enjoy.

G.B.F. (2013) was directed by Darren Stein. The basic idea of the plot is clever. Three extremely popular high school girls realize that in order to be at the top of their game they need a G.B.F.--a Gay Best Friend.

That concept could have led to a strong, funny film. Unfortunately, this isn't that film. The plot moves forward in a chaotic, almost haphazard way. The acting is weak, and stereotypes abound.

I sat there waiting for the film to fulfill its potential, but that never happened. Great concept, bad movie.

We saw this film at the Dryden Theatre as part of Image Out--the Rochester LGBT Film Festival. It won't get any worse on the small screen. Unfortunately, it won't get any better.

This movie has a few isolated good moments, but it's mostly an unfunny and painfully predictable comedy about gay teen angst.

It will appeal mainly to very young people who are very much like the characters in it - silly, bitchy, superficial and not overburdened with intelligence - or to older people and others who wish they WERE like those characters (I assume its writer and director are in that group).

It does NOT have the more universal appeal of a genuinely great movie like Clueless, to which some reviewers have compared it. And it definitely is NOT one of the best gay movies ever made.

So if you're an insecure gay teen and wish more than anything that you were popular, or if you find such characters appealing, you may love this movie; but if you're older and have wider interests you'll probably be as bored by it as I was. Watch Clueless instead.

The offensive pandering monstrosity the trailers and promos were making this out to be suddenly turned into a really nice fun(ny) film. Old fashioned fun, maybe, but fun none the less.

The obvious stereotyping and far too overused gags aside, G.B.F. is actually quite an enjoyable film. There are a few cringe-makingly, unnecessary, "seen it all before" moments but I can forgive a few bad scenes. So, you could definitely call it a very extreme film: the good scenes are fantastic and the not so good scenes are like something out of a bad parody.

The movie practically proclaims itself as a "Gay Mean Girls" and it's a well deserved title. It may not be worth falling over yourself to go see it but it's definitely one to keep on the back burner for a casual viewing.
