Get Real reviews

Get Real holds a 7.0/10 average from 194 TMDB ratings.

This is the quintessential gay movie. If you are interested in gay cinema, this is a must-watch. I won't give away anything, but it is the story of a young teen who has long accepted that he's gay, but goes to great lengths to hide that from everyone except his female best friend. When an unexpected romance presents itself, his life will never be the same again. The acting was perfect and every scene was compelling…

Sensitive rural town model student Steven Carter hides his gay feelings, except with his neighbor and best friend Linda. Suddenly his desperate search for partners leads to a blind date with golden boy John Dixon, bound for an Oxbridge career.
