4. G.B.F.
School PicturesDirected by the genius behind Jawbreaker (soon to come), G.B.F. follows the trials of a gay boy getting outed at high school, only to find the schools three most popular girls suddenly vying for his attention to gain him as a Gay Best Friend. G.B.F. has an absolutely stellar cast of (mostly) TV royalty, including Megan Mullally (Will & Grace, Parks & Rec), Natasha Lyonne (Orange is the New Black), Sasha Pieterse (Pretty Little Liars), Andrea Bowen (Desperate Housewives), and the mighty Rebecca Gayheart (Jawbreaker, Scream 2), whose comic timing is as brilliant as her name. What sets G.B.F. apart from the usual cliches, although those cliches are there, is that it shows high school from a genuinely new perspective. Sure, there are gay characters in films occasionally nowadays, but a high school film from a gay kids point-of-view (that isnt a heavy drama) is something that hasnt yet caught on. Having your protagonist dabbling with the mean girls and breaking up a friendship group, with everything getting resolved at prom is formulaic, at best, but G.B.F. takes this formula and injects wonderful life in it. The film might not win any artistic prizes, but its genuinely hilarious (Natasha Lyonnes character owns a cat called Anderson Coopurr) whilst giving the viewer an authentic high school plot outside of I like this boy but hes going out with the most popular girl in school. Now thats original.
