‘The Duff’ Review
The Duff makes timely points about self-love, body image, and modern relationships but falls short of becoming a teen drama classic. For years, Bianca Piper (Mae Whitman) has successfully navigated the soul-crushing hallways of high school. Side by side with her two best friends, Casey (Bianca A.
