G.B.F. (2014)

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 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.

I enjoy light comedies and gay indie films, but lower my expectations a little when it comes to teen comedies, so I was absolutely delighted that the screenwriter, director, and cast hit this out of the park. I actually turned the closed captioning on so I wouldn't miss a word of the fast-paced banter and all the crazy-fun slang words. The script and actors bring nuance to characters that are often otherwise just stereotypes. There are so many hilarious lines and scenes, but perhaps the best was when one of the just- out gay teens sits down with his overcaring Mom (played flawlessly by Megan Mullally, Karen from "Will and Grace"), who's rented a bunch of the most inappropriate gay movies to watch while newly out and/or with your mom ("Milk," "Boys Don't Cry," "Shortbus," and "Brokeback Mountain"), as evidenced by the numerous outtakes played over the end credits where the actor playing opposite Megan can't stop bursting out laughing at Megan's deadpan reaction commentary to the sex scene in Brokeback. One of the best gay indie comedies I've ever seen, and if I knew any gay teens I'd buy them a copy -- while a farce, there's a lot of good stuff about self-identity and self esteem (but never devolving into preaching) in this R-rated comedy. If you enjoy light comedies, give this one a try.

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!
