Movie Reviews of Get Real
Movie Review: The Best Gay Romance...EVER!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this back in the late 90's for the first time years ago and I just fell in love with this film.
The acting, the cast and the atmosphere was great for a coming of age gay romance story.
Personally being gay myself could identify with Steven (Ben Silverstone) and his issues that he goes through while trying to hold onto a little romance with the schools jock, John (Brad Gorton).
Just bought the film on DVD recently, it was hell of a search because this title is out of print and I had to resort to buying second hand, but was not displeased with the price.
I will recommend buying this soon on DVD before copies start to dissappear slowly out of circulation.
***** out of 5 stars!!
Summary of Get Real
Get Real begins with a couple of hedgehogs having sex, and deals with a topic just as prickly: gay love in adolescence. Steve (Ben Silverstone) is a student at a British school where everyone wears classy uniforms, knows he's gay, and is pretty comfortable being so. John (Brad Gorton), a top athlete and all-around admired guy, is just getting an inkling and isn't sure how he feels about it. This, cleverly, is how the movie manages to explore coming-out issues and be over them at the same time. In fact, the whole movie is pretty clever--witty dialogue, deft direction, nimble pacing, and clean editing--in exploring the seriousness of adolescent life without taking it too seriously. The key is in Silverstone's performance; he's a completely convincing mixture of hesitation and recklessness, all the conflicts of high school in one sweet-faced package. As the movie follows Steve and John's relationship--their evasions at school, getting picked up by the police in a park, goofing around in a heated swimming pool, grappling with coming out to the world at large--it lays out a bit of contrast with Steve's best friend Linda (Charlotte Brittain), who's as unapologetically fat as Steve is gay, and who's having an affair with her driving instructor. Excellent performances all around, funny, sexy, charming--if only straight teen comedies were half this good. Get Real even demonstrates the proper etiquette when soliciting sex in public restrooms; what more can you ask for? --Bret FetzerArt House & International DVD Video
