| Punch Drunk CriticsMae AbdulbakiIf you like any teen comedies that fall into similar categories as Mean Girls or Easy A, then you'll find this film enjoyable. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussA cheerful, colorful sitcom of a high-school comedy in which a trio of sassy 'mean girls' vie for the attentions of their first 'out' classmate, after reading in their style magazines that gay sidekicks are 'the hottest new trend' for teen queen bees. |
| Chicago ReaderBrianna WellenA few sweet moments highlight the importance of acceptance and being yourself, but these after-school-special interludes clash with the snarky tone. |
| SF WeeklyJonathan KieferPolitically gentle but winningly averse to any kind of piety. |
| John Hanlon ReviewsJohn HanlonOne fierce and unforgettable comedy that offers some stereotypes alongside a slew of belly laughs. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeIt'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. |
| Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerThe film, lensed in appealing candy-striped colors, has so much fun exploding stereotypes and radiates with such infectious comic gusto and genuine good nature, that it would be almost churlish to resist its charms. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesMisha DavenportIt’s cheery but still has a bit of a bite, makes a point without ever being too preachy and features a litany of quotable lines with a cleverness not seen since “Heathers.” |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisG.B.F. has been unfairly slapped with an R rating, but the film is about as scandalous as a "Glee" episode. It's suitable for young teenage girls, who apparently are far more at ease with the times than the homophobic folks at the MPAA. Don't let their rating fool you: The movie may be thoroughly modern, yet it's old-fashioned, too. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanG.B.F. imparts a message many people will do well to hear. That it does so in such entertaining fashion makes it worth seeking out. |
