Watch G.B.F. For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

That was an excellent one.

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

So, how easy is it to watch a movie when you know the key actors have a reputation for stealing the works of others? For me it was impossible. Sure, it's been done since the beginning of film, but there's something particular disgusting when it's done by someone who's career depends more on looks than substance. But hey, that's been done and being done too, right? Right.So to make it short and sweet: I reject this movie because of Samantha Kern, a person - won't use the word actor to describe this bitch - who makes (up) her living by slapping terms like 'actress' and 'producer' next to her name. Why? Simple. Because she can! She and her whole group ripped off a writer, then demoted his contribution to that of a "concept" when she knew full well that it was his story. You see, the actual writer was a pain in the butt, but it didn't justify taking his work, did it? What type of person does that? Oh, yeah. A wanna be. A pseudo actor, trying to be, but never quite making it. So, you and your group who clearly have no conscience to speak of, keep changing the position and contribution of the one person who made "Zombies and Assholes" more than a concept, but one that you were willing to jump on, because you know he didn't know better. you knew he was ripe for the picking, and all you were looking for was an excuse - an opportunity - to justify cutting him off and taking what was his, right? And you did it! Good thing you're in a professional that doesn't care or want to hear about things like this. Good thing the writer was too stupid and embarrassed to protect and pursue his rights to the "concept" as you say. Good thing. Made it easier for you and your husband to move in a like a bunch slugs slowly changing and removing the traces of someone else's work and making it your own.But no worries, here. From what I'm seeing,no one really visits or goes to the websites and IMDb places where you and the movie is seen. I call this Karma. Meantime, the writer now lives in Seville, Spain, teaching English as a second language. he's found himself, and those who loved and respected him - even in his most disgusting moments -Will watch and cheer as you are barely remembered.

I was first drawn to the movie G.B.F when I watched the trailer on youtube, it was a new, innovative high school comedy about a gay best friend, the comedic plot was what initially drew me, as I believe movies about or affiliated with LGBT are essential, especially today. I was enticed by the talented cast which included Natasha Lyonne (Orange Is The New Black) and Sasha Pieterse (Pretty Little Liars) they are both well known actresses and are incredibly talented, if you watch OITNB or PLL you may agree. I also read an article which compared G.B.F to the likes of Mean Girls and Clueless which intrigued me. Now you can say all you want about 'high school' comedies, I agree it's an easy concept an 11 year old could of came up with but Mean Girls and Clueless are apart from the rest. They are Iconic and really represent each generation, Clueless (1995) and Mean Girls (2004) a decade later and you have G.B.F. Ultimately I am disappointed to say it did not live up to expectations. I completely understand where they were trying to take this Movie and parts of it were exceptional, but it wasn't enough! Fortunately there were some really great performances especially from Sasha Pieterse as Fawcett, she was surprisingly likable given her character and her performance was believable as she may be one of the few who can actually act in this film. Now the lead Tanner Daniels played by Micheal J Willet, when I started watching his character he was ultimately likable, from the very beginning, although as the movie dragged on I found him aggravating and annoying. Caprice and Brent made as an entertaining duo towards the end but they were not outstanding. This movie being a comedy was funny in parts but some of the acting was unnecessarily over the top and annoying. Now the overuse of abbreviated words!! Leaving high school not so long ago, I understand that not that much has changed, we do not speak Instant Messenger and although sometimes it can be funny, this time, the overuse of abbreviations let the movie down entirely.Also there is a scene where Brent and his friend are supposed to stare at the others parading down the hallway, he even says a line but the others are not even down the hallway yet! If you've watched the movie you will know what part I'm referring too. Also instead of the unbelievable pink cans for alcohol could they not of just used plastic cups? Seriously! I do really appreciate this concept, three, high school, prom queen front runners battling it out to win Tanners friendship, as he is the only out gay guy at there School. I appraise there efforts. They handled it well as the premise was it could be overly offensive, G.B.F being a trend at there School, a gay guy being more of on object than a human being. Parts of the script were fantastic but the majority let it down. It angers me because this could of been a fantastic movie, I understand the writers idea, although someone went massively wrong in the making of this film. Final verdict, 6/10, Sasha Pieterse made the best out of a bad situation!

I tire quickly when a high school comedy pops onto the scene with stupid adults and know-it-all kids who look too mature for the roles. Kudos to writer George Northy for giving his kids heart and the grown-ups brains, it elevates this film above the bulk in his genre. Director Darren Stein is very judicious in his nods to similar films -- Clueless, Mean Girls, Heathers, Carrie, and nearly every John Hughes film.RESTRAINT is what makes this film so enjoyable: Megan Mullally manages to escape the curse of Will & Grace alumni and is able to NOT rehash Karen walker, but create a new character. Paul Iacono is brilliant and I can't imagine him as any other character -- which is how I felt about his TV character RJ Berger, who is worlds apart from this role.Sasha Pieterse is blond Denise Richards pretty, but a whole lot smarter. Xosha Roquemore is all legs and laughs. She mutters a brilliant line that made me bust out laughing: "I ain't mad at that" -- watch for it. She owns the role and is smart!G.B.F. smacks of a cult favorite and star-maker. I suspect in a few years we'll look back at this pop-masterpiece and marvel at all the now-celebrities who broke-through in this cast.

G.B.F. needs to be seen by those who have ever uttered "I want a Gay Best Friend." It needs to be seen by those who have been referred to as the "Gay Best Friend," and it needs to be seen by those who roll their eyes when they hear those three infamous words strung together. George Northy and Darren Stein really did a great service for all of these groups of people as well as the LGBTQIA Community with this movie! As a smart, funny, and timely piece on how the "Gay Best Friend" accessory that many young girls aspire to attain is problematic, "G.B.F." keeps everyone laughing and engaged while provoking thoughts and conversations usually only heard in Gay- Straight Alliances. I was fortunate enough to catch a screening of the film at FilmOut San Diego's LGBT FIlm Festival Premiere and I am so thankful I did! Northy's writing in the film is both heartfelt and humorous, the cast in it's entirety delivers stellar performances, and Stein tells the story with clear direction and purpose. Not a moment is wasted in this film and you'll never be bored!The best part of the film though is it's various messages that hone in on many issues not yet touched upon in any previous high school film due to G.B.F.'s gay male protagonist. The politics of coming out versus being outed, the staggering difference between the response (at least in a well-meaning high school such as the one featured in G.B.F.) of a gay male being outed versus a lesbian female, the value of diversity against a stereotypical and homogenized depiction of high school royalty, and of course, the delicate line between being a straight ally to the LGBT Community and being a tokenizing and trivializing straight "friend" to another due to their gay orientation. As someone who is usually skeptical of LGBT-related films and who usually critiques and leaves movies with a sense of disappointment, I left this movie with a sense of satisfaction and joy. This film was everything I wanted it to be and whenever it comes out in the future, I will aspire to own it in my own movie collection. Furthermore, I have a strong feeling that this movie will not just be big within the hearts of LGBT Film Festivals and Lovers of Quality Gay Films such as myself, but will soon be associated with the Great-So-Called-Straight High School Films such as Clueless, Heathers, Easy A, and of course Mean Girls, which is referenced numerous time within G.B.F..This movie is for everyone and is an answer to the cries of people like me (that is the eye- rolling bunch mentioned earlier). If you can see this movie, if you do have access to see this movie now--GO! It is well worth your time, your money, your laughter, and your tears!
