Title: A love story with heart and soul
Product review: GET REAL(UK - 1998)Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 (Panavision)Theatrical soundtrack: Dolby Stereo SRA gay teenager finds love in the arms of the school jock, but social pressures frustrate their budding romance.A feel-good movie for gay teenagers (and their parents) everywhere! Bright narrative, instantly likeable characters, and a neatly-observed study of a relationship forged under extreme circumstances, this charming movie balances its dramatic momentum with plenty of comic asides, though the narrative has been stripped of the political dimension which informed the stage play on which it's based. Older cynics may groan at some of the more obvious material, but younger viewers will be enchanted. An unqualified success!
