Movie Review: The Duff

I had hopes that I would enjoy the movie a lot more than the book because it seems to work that way for me. If I disliked the book for some reason, and the movie is made I end up loving the movie (The fault in our stars, the hunger games) The Duff was no exception to this rule

I actually enjoyed the movie. It was a lot more comical then I remember the book being which was a good thing because it needed something that the book didn't have.

There were somethings that were WAY different then the book. I'm assuming they changed some stuff up because it was a bit much.

What was different
-If I'm not mistaken Bianca lived with her dad in a small apartment, and her dad was a drunk.
-Bianca and Wes had an agreement that was more physical then anything.

SOURCE: Bought
OUTLINE:
Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is cynical and loyal, and she doesn’t think she’s the prettiest of her friends by a long shot. She’s also way too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush. In fact, Bianca hates him. And when he nicknames her “the Duff,” she throws her Coke in his face. 

But things aren’t so great at home right now, and Bianca is desperate for a distraction. She ends up kissing Wesley. Worse, she likes it. Eager for escape, Bianca throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benefits relationship with him.

Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out Wesley isn’t such a bad listener, and his life is pretty screwed up, too. Suddenly Bianca realizes with absolute horror that she’s falling for the guy she thought she hated more than anyone.

MY THOUGHTS

I'm not gonna lie the only reason I decided to retry reading this book is because of the movie coming out. The first time I tried to read it I only got 80 pages in. It didn't have enough to hold my attention, and to be honest it still didn't have anything. However, I did  finish it this time because I hate giving up on books, and I want to see how the movie and book differ if at all.

Then Lissa decides to end the rivalry once and for all: She and the other players' girlfriends go on a hookup strike.

What they don't count on is a new sort of rivalry: an impossible girls-against-boys showdown that hinges on who will cave to their libidos first. But what Lissa never sees coming is her own sexual tension with the leader of the boys, Cash Sterling..
