Get Real

I say get real. This is romantic clap trap. Yea, yea, I know, it is refreshing for us gays to see young love in all its glory. I got news for you: even if the school hunk was gay, he still wouldn't fall in love with the class nerd. He would instead try to consummate with another jock. In the end, this was sentimental BS. As for coming out in front of the entire school and parents, again, I say, get real. This would not happen in a million years. Finally, I was bored by this manipulative movie. "As for Get Real, I say get real. This is romantic clap trap ....In the end, this was sentimental BS." Response by Glendajean: Kind of harsh, Benear, given that most movies that focus on teenage love tend to be unlinked from reality. Did you really think that Molly Ringwald always got the hot guy? Of course, a movie like that is no work of art. But I found it sweet. Agree with you about the the boy's speech before his school. It reminded me of the "I'm a homosexual, too" scene in "In & Out," although deadlier. I did like the mom's remark to the class bully that if he continued to pick on her son she would wear his balls for ear rings, something again that possibly doesn't happen in real life, but should. As far as "hot sex," there are videos for that. I am not sure we needed to see more than we did for this story. Still, it got an R rating. Homo kids are hot potatoes. I am looking forward to seeing the more edgy "Edge of Seventeen."
