I guess I've seen worse teen sex comedies, but it's rare to encounter one this stupid.
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Fresh
It's a frothy satire about adolescent social manners, a bit like "Clueless" or a tongue-in-cheek take on the 1980s-'90s "Degrassi" television series.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
Rotten
"G.B.F" works its concept to death as its silly story builds to a prom scene that revolves around a tepid, underwhelming homage to "Carrie."
Stephen Holden, New York Times

Director Darren Stein clearly has some serious themes in mind, even as most of his characters exhibit all the brain cells of amoebae.
