Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

mark.waltz Unlike the eccentric yet equally profound "Beautiful Thing", this British romantic drama about gay teens yells a real story about real kids who are for the most part truly believable and almost all likable. The story focuses on one shy kid, the victim of bullies, who gets a crush on the totally likable school jock and makes a surprising discovery. Natural young actors give their all, yet these aren't cardboard cut-outs but flesh and blood young people with secrets and insecurities. Even the parents are filled with multiple dimensions, and while there are some homophobic bullies, they are presented fairly as well.The acting is sublime with the two young leads attractive but not cardboard cookie cut-outs. Their desires are real, and while there is a sequence that presents an obvious carnal knowledge scenario, the way it is presented isn't done for shock, only insinuating a liaison between someone underage and an obviously older man with an obvious secret life. The ending gets truly gripping as the secrets of the supposedly straight jock are threatened with revelation. But even though there are a violent turn of events that aren't in keeping with what had come before, but they make absolute sense. The ending may have you sobbing. If just one out of ten homophobes can see this film and change their tune, then this film has done more than its duty.

Keno Forest I become a fan of this kind of movies after I watched "The Way He Looks" and so far, the two are pure masterpiece.The story was just about a gay guy named Steven who is looking for love and accidentally found it on John, the guy in school who still confused about his sexuality.SPOILERS!Although the two didn't end happily ever after and I can understand the reason. Steven knows he is gay since he was 11 years old. he accept it to himself that's why he is looking for a guy to get along with. On the other hand, John is confused. He had almost experienced with gay when he was a kid yet he still declining because he can't accept it.In the end, he still chose to be with her girlfriend but told Steven that he is the only person he loved and he is the perfect guy for him. Steven understand the situation and just moved on to face his problem dealing on how his Dad will react about it. though his Mom understand it.It ended just like that and I was hoping for more explanation. The best scene of all would be his speech when he come out to everyone in school. He is right about gay thing. Its just love between two person. He still a person who needs to be accepted and loved by their family and friends which people nowadays should be open about this situation.

pgenco Get Real is an excellent work and I highly recommend it! The content/subject matter is absolutely timeless. Main characters display an extremely realistic perspective of teen reactions to the situations that face them. Of course, the British "humour" only adds to the overall flavor of this particular flick. Linda and her comments and driving lessons give the work a uplifting life goes on kind of feel. All of the characters were very well developed and actors carefully selected. As far as the "coming of age" and "coming to terms with one's sexuality" films are concerned, this one really captures a realistic view. I would highly recommend it to any teen male who is questioning his identity, as well as to parents, teachers, and other adults who work with teens. It is not in any way pedantic nor does it preach to any topic. It is simply a very well developed and realistic film.

ste03uk i think its a really good film about 2 young lads - one is totally confused about the way he feels and he's scared to admit it - its a real confidence booster to young gay males who are scared of coming out to people. the acting is great, especially for not very well known film actors - really good film - i'm so angry i didn't see it at the cinemas - going to watch it now - Ben Silverstone was really good playing Steven - especially because he's straight playing a gay character - it gives people an insight to their child's sexuality - not everyone is how you think they are - again - an excellent movie - excellent acting - great storyline - i can watch it over and over again - i don't know why people are a bit disappointed by the ending of it all - its a good way to end it - Steven coming out to the whole school while on stage wen supposed to be receiving an award. i like it that he leaves john after the whole coming out scene - john beat him in the locker room just to make it look like he wasn't 'into' Steven - John was so confused - the best part of the end is when the 'bullies' are bullying Steven and his mum walks behind them - she says something like - 'ill tell you who he is - he's my on and i'm very proud of him - and if you do anything to hurt him i'll err... have your bollocks for ear-rings - its so funny how she says that. think there should b a get real 2 (the sequel) about Stevens love life and how his school react to him being gay. would love to see john grovel as well
