LOS ANGELES -- It can't be easy to look in the mirror and admit to yourself that you're the DUFF of your group of friends -- the "designated ugly fat friend."
Or maybe it can.
Over the past few months, thousands of people took selfies in The Duff mirror posters at AMC movie theaters across the country for possible inclusion on the film's fan poster -- a huge composite of self-described DUFFs.
(Sorry, Robert DeNiro; we realize your Last Vegas poster was only incidentally captured in the reflection here, but you are definitely the DUFF in this case.)
Photos were texted in by participants who were notified that they had made the cut.
The news was received well.

But take heart, DUFFs, whether you self-identify or not: The message of The Duff, which CBS Films releases in theaters nationwide on Friday, is really that everyone is someone's DUFF -- and labels have no power over you if you own them.
Also, that Dave & Buster's is actually a pretty cool place for a date. Good to know.
