Summary: The best film in a long time.
Review: I rented this title, and I never heard about it, I just went by the cover of the DVD. And I think it's the best gay film I've ever seen. It's a beautiful story, and I think because I pictured myself on the film, I cried so much, and still, if I start thinking on some scenes, I feel it. For all of us, who our gay life haven't been easy, this is a must see film. I love it, I've seen it 5 times now, and I enjoy it more and more, because it's not about the movie, what I see on it are all the feelings, the innocence, the beauty of it... Rent it, watch it, buy it, ..please.

Summary: Very well observed slice of British gay life
Review: This is simply a wonderful film and one of the most moving I've ever seen. Ben Silverstone was absolutely brilliant as Steve, certainly an award worthy performance. The film captures small town British life extremely well and how gay teenagers can feel isolated in this environment. Also very good on observations on class differences ( the meeting between Steve and John's parents near the end ). I can't recommend it enough.

Summary: Love Warms the Heart
Review: I watched this film last night on a rented video and loved it so much that I am ordering it today. In the style of "Beautiful Thing", this movie touched my soul and warmed my heart. Many movies relating to gay issues and gay love are lacking the warmth and romance. This movie does not lack any of the touching romantic moments that our community longs to see.

Summary: Incredibly True to Life.....Fine Acting and Excellent Story
Review: I have just finished watching "Get Real" for the second time. I found the story incredibly moving, the characters well developed, and beautifully acted.The story is based upon Stephen, (wonderfully acted by Ben Silverstone) who is a young gay secondary (high) school student in Britan. Stepen encounters, by chance, the star athlete of the school he attends, portayed realistically by Brad Gorton. Boy meets boy---and with some difficulty ---- they fall in love. However, admitting this is the tough conflict of this movie. Major themes of concern for gay youth are covered in a realistic and an unbiased manner. Peer pressure, parental concerns and misunderstanding, the necessity for "clandestine activities" are all handeled in a reasonable and sensitive style. With all of the care and concern in this well written script, along with the directors' sense of timing and detail, this movie is a must see for anyone with concerns or interest in the area of gay youth or of coming out. Because of the nature of the subject, this movie was rated "R" by the MPAA. The sexual content is minor, and there is some language which might be considered offensive to some, however, I believe none of the language was used unnecessarily.

Summary: Unforgettable
Review: This movie has stuck with me for three days now. The content and the ending were amazing. The story line, the characters, and the outcome were all realistic and had a huge impact on me. I plan on suggesting this film to my parents to help them deal with my coming out; that is how believable and true to life the movie really is. So if you want to watch a "real" movie that truly captures the emotions that all gay teens go through; "Get Real" is a definite must: gay or straight.

Summary: Great Film
Review: Okay, On the surface I started thinking this film was Beautiful Thing all over again. Then came the cruising in the bathroom at the park. But, I would never do that! ;-) So, anyway...I did love Beautiful Thing, But this film is soooo much better. It's well written. The characters are more like 30 stuck in the bodies of 16 year olds. And as all of us who were aware we were gay when we were teens know, that's exactly how it was. We were forced to mature much quicker than everyone else. Heck, these kids are more mature than half the 30 year olds I know. I wish I would have heard of this movie during it's theatrical release. It would have been great to see it on the big screen. So, rent it or buy it. Whatever, just see it!

Summary: Wonderful film - my boyfriend thought otherwise
Review: This film is excellent because it illustrates gay love in a respectable way. This movie isn't about only sex, like "Edge of Seventeen", it's about true, innocent love, like "Beautiful Thing." Except, this film is 10 times better than "Beautiful Thing." I loved this film because I could relate to it on a small degree. Everything the the characters do, I wish I had done with a perticular boy in high school. But fear kept me from doing it. This film was my way to live out what I didn't experience. My boyfriend, on the other hand, was able to live out what he desired. When the film was over, he was very upset. The film was a direct parallel to his life. All the wonderful and exciting feelings of love mixed in with the bitter reality of physical and emotional pain hit a little bit to close to home for him. Based upon our differing views, I can say that this film will touch the lives of many people that see it. It is inspiring to see two young men innocently in love with each other. The film shows the kind of love that many gay men aspire to have in their own life and it illustrates how stupidity and fear can cause complications in a relationship.
