Summary: Splendid, fabulous!
Review: I did love the movie as another comedy which blends with the cultures of the mainstream America and other minorities (sexual in this case!). The movie is made based on the glimpses from the real life and I hope the movie shall maintain the first place among other titles! The movie might be shown in the universities where we watch so many clashes on the sexual orientation grounds! Best wishes to producers! The cast is also fabulous and guys starring are very real and close to the life!

Summary: Out of this World-The Best Yet
Review: From the first moment I saw the preview for this movie, I knew I had to see it. The moment I saw it, I knew I had to own it. As a gay man who went to high school in the late 70's I found myself completely enraptured by the touching, honest, funny and frank portrayal of the feelings and dreams that I had as a teenager. Ben Silverstone. What can I say? As Steven Carter, he is one of the most natural young actors that I have ever seen. Whether straight or gay, Mr. Silverstone captured my heart and mind from the minute he appeared on the screen. Charlotte Brittain, as Linda, reminded me of the one true friend that I had throughout this same period in my life. Finally I have to say that although not as endearing or engaging as Mr. Silverstone, Brad Gorton did a wonderful job of showing the complex emotions felt by his character, John Dixon. I knew a young man very similar to him and I must say that the experience of watching them and the ultimate resolution to their relationship was, for me, very real and not entirely unknown. I found myself laughing, crying and completely satisfied at the end of the movie. I must say that with hundreds of viewings of the tape with friends and alone, the resulting deterioration leaves me no choice by to buy the DVD. I also recommend, as others before me have, Beautiful Thing. A little more of a fantasy ending, but very enjoyable none the less. And after just this minute finishing "Edge of Seventeen" I would highly recommend it too! Look for my review when it becomes available from Amazon.com

Summary: "Get Real" gets with the times, and does it right.
Review: In a decade full of straight-boy-meets-straight-girl comedies and dramas, where the two always end up living happily ever after, Simon Shore's "Get Real" is a complete and utter sigh of relief. The film tells the story of Steven Carter, a closeted high school student diving into the world of sexual discovery with men he meets at public bathrooms (all implied, no action, which can be good or bad, depending on who you are). Hs stress over being closeted (Steven is only out to his friend, the hilarious Linda), accompanied by his quest to find love, interferes with his schoolwork and family life, though never raising too many suspicions by outside parties. By chance, Steven happens to meet a fellow student at the public bathroom, a soccer jock by the name of John Dixon, and the two of them become uncomfortable around each other until a school dance, at which they become locked in a glance. This begins the start of their relationship, and while Steven would like to make known his newfound happiness, John insists that they must keep it underwraps or it is off. The fun and the fears of coming out and closeted life play out hilariously and surprisingly touching in this charming, witty comedy about the ills and thrills of gay adolescence. Patrick Wilde's screenplay is brilliantly directedby Simon Shore, and beautifully acted by top-notch young Brit actors. Ben Silverstone gives a stellar performance as Steven, playing out each emotion and feeling to perfection. The story will touch all those, as well as give people a lesson in tolerance and acceptance. "Get Real" will open new windows in your mind as well as split your sides, and should not be missed by anyone, especially gay youth.

Summary: Get "Get Real"!
Review: If you enjoyed the film Beautiful Thing, then you'll like this one too. It is a film made for those of us who were always kind of geeky in High School but fantasized about the class jock, and the ending of thie film leaves some questions as to what will eventually happen. I enjoyed it and have seen it several times now! I highly recommend this film. Good acting, fun story, a lot of suspenseful scenes!

Summary: Just so real
Review: This movie touched me so deeply i couldnt even watch it without crying... growing up gay is hard and this movie shows just how i feel, being in high school and dealing with issues that I dont want to have to yet. But i know i cant deny myself and this movie showed me the danger of denying the truth to myself. This movie is a ringing condemnation of denying yourself to be more popular; and after seeing this movie I feel more hopeful for my and other gay teens futures.

Summary: Better than anything on this side of the ocean
Review: I read somewhere a comparison between this film and the American film "Tricks." The comparison between these two films, in my humblest of opinions, should be made only to highlight the difference in quality. We Americans can take some lessons from our British brothers. Get Real is quality; substance; feeling; true emotion. Tricks, on the other hand, never rises above the "sex = love" equation, trying to make us believe that over the course of one night two boys can fall in love. Get Real touches the theme of gay love's challenges in a straight world, where assumptions are "reality." It addresses the tension that exists between a person with a strong character who is nevertheless bound up by society's expectations of what is "right." Get Real poignantly addresses the extremes we humans go to in order to conform, but happily, it also shows us that bravery of spirit and true courage can break away those shackles that keep us down, and by doing so we gain our independence and true happiness. Bravo to the Brits! We still have much to learn.

Summary: Silverstone, Gorton give incredible performances
Review: From the moment the movie begins, until it's ending one feels captivated by this unique approach to teenage upevils. The movie builds and builds, never allowing the viewer to be the least bit bored.The subject, while controversial, is handled in a highly mature and very "real" manner. I whole heartily recommed this movie to all audiences over the age of 13. Sure, the jest of the story deals with homosexuality - but so many more significant and important messages come across.

Summary: quote unquote "get real"
Review: The video "get real" is an excellent movie! i have rated it 5 stars because i think that it has put it's place on the charts. Young Steven Carter has already realized that he is gay, then the next one to find out is John Dixon. The truth that i follow when Liz says "John Dixon, he is sex on legs!" I give that a 100% honesty right there. I am in love with Brad Gorton. I think that the movie "Get Real" should show us that people that chose to be gay that is there own way that they want to live and let them live there life the way they want. Nobody is stopping you for your mistakes, so why are we stopping them? "Get Real" proved to me that people that are gay are absolutly no different from the other people we judge. I am not racist angainst anything. I watched that movie because it looked like a movie that i could understand. I had one of my friends that is very iffy about gay people come over and watch it with me and she walked out of my house and said "I need to know where I can buy that at!" There were part's that made me want to cry but sometimes we all have those moment's! If people are like that in real life you shouldn't judge them because they are gay but you have got to realize that they can't help it. My boyfriend doesn't understand why i like that movie so much but maybe a lot of people don't understand this, so now i hope that you can see why i am writing this! That movie was one of the ones that i rented from blockbuster and it came back ten days late! I just want everyone to know that i like that movie a lot and remember don't judge a book by it's cover! And also remember love people for how they treate you and not what they do! Thank you for reading this! If you do not like this page i am sorry, but i had to get my thought's out into the open for the people that do believe and follow what i am trying to say! Thank you again! ta ta for now!
