G.B.F is a breath of fresh air to the tired and usually mundane teen genre.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | May 8, 2020

On the surface the film resembles a gay reworking of a John Hughes teen flick, except the slang often rings hollow and the script too often falls back on cliché and caricature.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 8, 2020

Director Darren Stein's frequently on-target satire had me laughing enough to keep it interesting.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 8, 2020

G.B.F. is an endearing and sweet coming-of-age comedy, as good a teen movie as the classics we know and love.

| May 8, 2020

The film is cliché-heavy, yes, but GBF has some LOL moments and real heart, and gets its point across without too much Hollywood sentiment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 8, 2020

Even as its large smattering of one-liners contains as many hits as it does misses, G.B.F. does what many films of its ilk often forget to do, which is portray realistic and believable characters that are as flawed as they may be innately charming.

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 12, 2017

Extremely edgy comedy sends up gay best friend stereotypes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 20, 2014

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 31, 2014

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 21, 2014

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 20, 2014

Chronic bubble-gum highschool farce in which gay characters are reduced to tokenistic social accessories.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 20, 2014

An original premise and earnest tone go a long way.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 18, 2014

A colourful, hyperactive romp that, despite attempting to bust apart teen-flick clichés, quickly conforms to type.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2014

Fun, sugary sweet and just the right side of kitsch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 16, 2014

Politically gentle but winningly averse to any kind of piety.

| Feb 4, 2014

Employing cliches in fresh and unexpected ways, "G.B.F." is endearing, energetic and thoughtful. Parents shouldn't be afraid of the unnecessary R-Rating.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 3, 2014

There are many moments when the dialogue strains too hard to be hip, and when the humor goes too broad [...] [b]ut it's hard to complain when every scene in G.B.F. seems to unearth a new, pleasant surprise.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 30, 2014

I guess I've seen worse teen sex comedies, but it's rare to encounter one this stupid.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 24, 2014
