still wonder if we need to compare this film with beautiful thing . i guess because theyre both british and come of age . actually beautiful thing have some cheesy acting and some dull moment while hey guy remember wild reed hu . and that be a come of age movie too and close to the same plot line a get real . get real be well direct and very good acting and script adaptation from a play . with some twisted moment and i be sure that people and especially gay dude and will find themselves relate and empathize with the main character while a totally big plus in a movie . but and get real have a few fault as well . some of the score be too contrive and the scene when they be slow dancing and you be so beautiful to me song play while aretha franklin sing the word freedom after the come out scenario and etc . i be put myself in the jock place and and no way this dude will go for a 100 pound and pale and goofy gay guy while another thing be would you cruise a public bathroom for a quickie leave your private school uniform on . if you want to be so discreet about your sexual preference and hey get your butt across town and or if you be so in love with the good look jock and man and you would do anything to keep the relationship . some of the scene contradict themselves in such obvious way that through the flick you find yourself ask and what be go on . however and get real with all it fault and save itself because it give you good insight of how others feel be alianated and estrange and how to deal with society for be themselves . a good moral in the end while an all around feel good scene while remind me of slc punk and which i find myself totally relate to .
