<p>Very few good chick flicks and high school comedies have been made — two of the recent ones include 'Pitch Perfect' and 'Easy A'. The Duff joins the rank of this rare category of films that is both entertaining and likable</p>

There are plenty of frustrating and unlikable things about chick flicks and American high school based comedies. For one, neither of those kinds of movies exist within the realm of reality. The films are so far from real life that they look silly while trying to impart some 'life lessons' through their absurdities. And second, most of the chick flicks look down upon women — female characters are caricaturist and the films expect their audience to be as dumb as them. Also, many times the high school characters are played by actors who are almost 30 years old.
