Movie #1055 "The Duff" was movie no. 2 on the plane. I like high school films, and I like this young actress Mae Whitman and I've liked her since she was a little kid and ended up as the wonderful Laurie Graham daughter in one of my favorite t.v. shows "Parenthood" which just ended, so when I saw that she has turned to doing films, I wanted to continue supporting her --- she's such a natural and usually portrays great sincerety in her roles. There's no new ground here ---- we've seen it all before, but I found that this films had some substance to it. i.e. if I had a young teenager I was raising, I would have him/her watch this because it tries to cover what kids go through....somewhat. I chuckled a bit, I found it had a message and I like the lead girl, so I liked it and would recommend it to people who might do the same.
