Alien at the Movies

It's today's social media infused version of "Mean Girls" if it were a romantic comedy featuring cyber bullying. Mae Whitman stars in the role of the D.U.F.F. (urban slang for designated ugly fat friend) although she is neither ugly nor fat because this movie isn't that cruel. The DUFF is the gateway to her more attractive friends. Bella Thorne plays the mean girl role. High school teenagers are the target audience in this comedy but it is peppered with language that includes terms like man-whore and dick face. This story is about self image, who your real friends are, and owning it by being true to yourself.

Alien gives it 3 "video humiliation" stars out of 4.
