    • Trivia
      Director Darren Stein publicly criticized the MPAA for giving the final film an R rating, stating that he believes the film was PG-13 material and was only given an R because it dealt with gay and lesbian themes.
    • Goofs
      When Brent says, "It's science," Tanner's arms are both down, but when a different camera picks up the shot, Tanner's left hand is up by his shoulder holding the string of his hoodie.
    • Quotes

      McKenzie Pryce: Caprice, mission accomplished?

      Caprice Winters: Uh, not yet.

      [to the other protestors]

      Caprice Winters: Ok, y'all made your point. I made mine. Now we all have a choice. You can stay out here, bored out of your minds and freezing your asses off with this crazy bitch, or you can come inside and dance your asses off with this crazy bitch. I mean, do you really want to go to Heaven if it's filled with nothing but psychos like her?

      [all the other protestors apart from McKenzie and Hamilton go into the prom]

      Caprice Winters: That's what I thought. Le'go.

      McKenzie Pryce: [calling after everyone] Suit yourselves! Run towards damnation! I'll see you all in Hell! I mean, I won't see you 'cause I won't be there, but there's probably, like, a window or something where people in Heaven can look down to people in Hell! And I'll see you through that Hell... window... thing!

      Hamilton: That sucks, man. How about an H.J.?

    Opportunity wasted
    G.B.F. (2013) was directed by Darren Stein. The basic idea of the plot is clever. Three extremely popular high school girls realize that in order to be at the top of their game they need a G.B.F.--a Gay Best Friend.

    That concept could have led to a strong, funny film. Unfortunately, this isn't that film. The plot moves forward in a chaotic, almost haphazard way. The acting is weak, and stereotypes abound.

    I sat there waiting for the film to fulfill its potential, but that never happened. Great concept, bad movie.

    We saw this film at the Dryden Theatre as part of Image Out--the Rochester LGBT Film Festival. It won't get any worse on the small screen. Unfortunately, it won't get any better.
