A shirtless teen boy in a bedroom window kisses a teen girl wearing a bra and skirt; we see them in profile only (some cleavage above her bra is shown).
A teen couple kiss for the first time and he says that he is more of a "tongue guy"; she asks if that means his tongue would go all the way through her and come out her bottom, like porn, and he laughs and asks how old the porn she watches is; she begins to kiss him and licks his cheek instead and he laughs.
A teen girl pretends that a store dummy is her boyfriend; she pulls its arm off and rubs its hand on her breast, then kisses its mouth, sticks her tongue into its lips and rubs her groin on its abdomen while standing; she lies on top of the dummy on the floor briefly, puts her face to a mirror and sticks her tongue out to touch her own tongue in its image while another teen girl films all this action (unbeknownst to her), places it on a website and broadcasts it to everyone in the high school; in the cafeteria the next day a teen boy holds up a CPR dummy (includes only waist to head), kisses it, rubs it on his crotch and tells the girl that she can have it next.

Likes : First thing i noticed about this film is it very similar to mean girls & never been kissed mixed together which actual works for the film. Alot of people weather their male or female can actual relate to this movie pretty easy if their not scared to admit it as even though life this happens all the time weather its in high school or adult hood, there is always the ones that think their better than you just look down on you for being different.
So ya from a male point of view i can relate to this this, not that im over weight but ya in some aspect of this film i can relate to which made the film more enjoyable to watch. For those who don't know what duff mean's ( Designated Ugly Fat Friend) sound cruel & nasty but it dosent mean the person is fat or ugly just means your not as cool or as hot as the friends you hang around with in high school. It can be a nightmare for someone because they are the likely to be alone in school or most bullied by being pulled down for being different which i highly hate in people.
Its an ugly human trait in someone it show you might be good looking on the out side but a cold heartless person in the inside generally people with cold heart end up unhappy & in loveless relationships.
Mae Whitman playing Bianca Piper the (duff) play this role with perfection in show what it like to live a life as someone that very person just talks about her friends or using them to get to their other friends because they are more friend to approach. I think Mae is fantastic in this film with her comical humor & quick witty charm that make her character shine in this movie.
Also co-star Robbie Amell play the high school jock Wesley every girl loves done a brilliant job as well as portraying a guy that like someone but never really saw the courage to say to her is come across on screen perfect, Bella Thorne playing Madison the typical high school bitch that thinks she something special set out of her way to bring Bianca down just for talking to Wesley.
i swear every school in the world or in life has someone like this cold heart person with no soul only out for themselves, im sure she not like this in real life but i seriously hated her character in this film.
Bianca A. Santos & Skyler Samuels performance as the friends of Bianca did a perfect job of what it is to be a friend although they were slightly cameo role they still done brilliantly in their roles.
Where Most comedy movies are funny, yet can be some times pointless or lack an overall message this one succeeded.
There were a few moment it got heartfelt & emotional which make you really feel for Bianca character where other moment's the facial expressions are priceless and memorable that you just cant help but say she didn't just say that or what the hell are you saying moment which is clever in the story get the audience engage in the film.
I respect this film for it extremely funny whit ;while also having a deep, motivational moral lesson in life, although this was a girly flick this wasn't a bad film to watch i enjoyed it.
Dislikes : few scene where everyone is dance kind of felt out of place just because of the music being played in the back ground was so low, it was like watching people dance to no music didn't really give the atmosphere of a real party going on.
Overall : Great comedy, entertaining, emotional & engaging at times, very funny.worth watching
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 9.2 out of 10 for concept.
