For the people who gave this movie a good review, that reference might be a little too high-brow for you. So, allow me to explain. The Jazz Singer is one of the first movies in Hollywood to have color. It's also one of the most famous accounts of "black face", when a Caucasian actor portrays an African-America by coloring their face entirely black. It can be seen as incredibly offense to people who are African-American.
To put it into perspective, G.B.F. is the the homosexual equivalent of The Jazz Singer. A film that, looking back on it, is incredibly offensive to those who are considered homosexual. I'm not a homosexual and I'm acutely aware of the fact that this is offensive to homosexuals. The entire subject of the movie is how the popular girls need a gay best friend, which just doesn't sound appropriate. The only thing in this movie that I can see as more offensive is how they represent Mormons, saying that they are ether oblivious and idiotic, sexually repressed, or Nazis. While this is probably the most notable aspect of this movie, it's still utter tripe.
This film is very very similar in style to that of Heathers, a fantastic dark comedy that only gets better with age. This movie like if someone wanted to make a Heathers movie without any of the talent of work that was put into Heathers. Every actor is a performance that is ether completely monotone and irritating or coked out and mad. The script has all the intelligence of an 12 year old child just barely learning about homosexuality and mormonism. The set design is looks like a terrible parody of itself. The cinematography is bright and colorful that my eyes started bleeding. I could go on and on, but I have a social life I have to get to unlike the people who actually like this movie.
If you wanted to take my advice, skip this one. If you have any friend who is ether gay of Mormon, don't tell them about this movie. Tell others to avoid this movie. If you want a hilarious comedy that handles homosexual themes well, then watch Love, Simon. It is one thousand times better than this movie will ever be
