Trial Script:

Hi there, and welcome back to Cinecap. Today’s movie is The DUFF, a pretty crazy teen comedy where the typical labels get twisted around, and a high school senior starts a pecking order revolution after being called a “DUFF.” Wanna know what that means? Keep watching, but be warned: big spoilers ahead!

The movie opens with the protagonist, Bianca, writing a school paper and explaining that for a long time, high school students have been stuck with the typical labels - jocks, princesses, nerds, basket cases. Lately, students have branched out their stereotypes: now jocks play video games, the princesses are on anti-depressants, and the nerds are in charge.

Just then, the principal announces the queen and king: Madison comes to the stage gladly, but Wesley isn’t sure about it. Finally, he goes over to kiss Bianca in front of everyone. They leave to go hook up in the computer room. That’s when she gets an idea for the article: she writes about being a DUFF, and the article is a hit with the students. Several students read it and realize they’re DUFFs, too. Even Mr. Arthur admits to Bianca he was a DUFF.

Bianca’s article triggers a lot of positive responses from people who can relate to her story. She then tells the viewers that she and Wesley are a couple and that they will be visiting each other a lot as they’re going to neighboring colleges. The film ends with Bianca and Wesley driving to dinner, to the dark booth in the restaurant Wesley was recommending to Bianca earlier.
