Critics Consensus: G.B.F. explores high school relationship dynamics and teen stereotypes with a refreshingly humorous touch - and surprisingly subtle smarts.

The result is mostly swishy, sweet fun, although admittedly it might have benefitted from a bit of tweaking to fluff up bigger, better, and bitchier one-liners.
An original premise and earnest tone go a long way.
I guess I've seen worse teen sex comedies, but it's rare to encounter one this stupid.
It's a frothy satire about adolescent social manners, a bit like "Clueless" or a tongue-in-cheek take on the 1980s-'90s "Degrassi" television series.
"G.B.F" works its concept to death as its silly story builds to a prom scene that revolves around a tepid, underwhelming homage to "Carrie."
Director Darren Stein clearly has some serious themes in mind, even as most of his characters exhibit all the brain cells of amoebae.
If you like any teen comedies that fall into similar categories as Mean Girls or Easy A, then you'll find this film enjoyable.
Writer George Northy embraces the high school dilemma and fuses it with a touch of drama that gives the film massive heart.
Extremely edgy comedy sends up gay best friend stereotypes.
It's a light, fluffy concoction but one so playful and unpretentious that it's easy to like. This is the high school movie gay teens have been waiting for.
When you reach the end of this title you feel rather exhausted, so maybe an entire season would be pushing it just that little bit too far.
Chronic bubble-gum highschool farce in which gay characters are reduced to tokenistic social accessories.
well acted and biting satire, not near as dark as Jawbreaker which allows the film to actually tell a story that is relevant.

For what it says it will be... it is! lol
Silly but very cute comedy.
Stylish, contemporary. Has a mass/sass appeal like Glee (but without the singing). Well written with interesting, albeit largely superficial, characters -- but that's the point of this new take on Mean Girls. Wonderfully over-the-top costumes, even if sometimes ill-fitting. Willett gives a good performance as an awkward teen searching for his place in the High School world. Props to Xosha Roquemore for the S.B.F. (Sassy Black Friend) and -- wait -- isn't that Luna Lovegood as the militant bigot?! Awesome!
