Overview: Two best friends, Tanner (Michael J. Willett) and Brent (Paul Iacono) go through high school while being secretly in the closet. Brent longs for the spotlight and has a plan that will make him the most popular kid in school. He believes that coming out will make him instantly popular, as the newest must-have teen girl "accessory": The G.B.F.(ie. Gay Best Friend). Tanner on the other hand, would rather fly under the radar and graduate from high school without ever being noticed.

DVD Verdict: OK, just so you all know, basically, 'GBF' is all about what happens after Tanner (the brilliant Michael J. Willett) is outed by his classmates and becomes the title "gay best friend" for three high school "Queen Bees"! I know, I didn't think you could stretch a full-length movie out of that plot either, but they have done - and rather well too!

The best part of the film though is it's various messages that hone in on many issues not yet touched upon in any previous high school film due to G.B.F.'s gay male protagonist. The politics of coming out versus being outed, the staggering difference between the response (at least in a well-meaning high school such as the one featured in G.B.F.) of a gay male being outed versus a lesbian female, the value of diversity against a stereotypical and homogenized depiction of high school royalty, and of course, the delicate line between being a straight ally to the LGBT Community and being a tokenizing and trivializing straight "friend" to another due to their gay orientation.

As someone who is usually skeptical of LGBT-related films and who usually critiques and leaves movies with a sense of disappointment, I left the sofa this time with a sense of satisfaction and joy. This film was everything I wanted it to be and now it is out have GLADly (see what I did there!) made it a Divine (and again!) part of my DVD collection.

Oh, and furthermore, I have a strong feeling that this movie will not just be big within the hearts of LGBT Film Festivals and Lovers of Quality Gay Films such as myself, but will soon be associated with the Great-So-Called-Straight High School Films such as 'Clueless,' 'Heathers,' 'Easy A,' and of course 'Mean Girls' - which is referenced numerous time within 'G.B.F.'
