Critics Consensus: An authentic portrayal of homosexuality in high school, Get Real is an engaging dramedy that doesn't sermonize its audience nor trivialize its characters.

The strength of this agreeable comedy, directed by Simon Shore from a screenplay by Patrick Wilde, is that it makes even the tiniest sexual encounters seem emotionally momentous.
Fresh, funny and thoroughly engaging.
An issue movie, a comedy, and a love story, this is pretty good at being all three.
The film is grounded in genuine emotions and its knowing humour serves it well. I laughed like a drain.
The movie bravely goes where too many other films have gone before.
Yes, we've heard the tale before, but somehow it just never gets stale: Welcome to another instalment of Romeo and Romeo.
Simon Shore's feature directing debut displays considerable confidence and aplomb. But his fairly hackneyed sense of storytelling seems to value accessibility above complexity, so don't expect any surprises.
Charming and romantic enough to get by.
The performances are solid throughout, and the writing is straightforward and tight.
The rather unoriginal script, co-written by Shore and Patrick Wilde (who wrote the stage play upon which the film is based), has roughly an equal number of clever lines and embarrassing clunkers.
succeeds in conveying the misery that always results when people try to hide their true selves to impress others.
A by-the-numbers coming-out flick that's rescued by a bit of insight into human nature and some heartfelt performances.
It's not perfect, but the film features an interesting plot and generally strong performances, especially from the lead character.
Super Reviewer
This is a coming of age and coming out story, even though it is set in the U.K., is still close to something I relate to. Well written and acted. There is no drama for drama sake. Very accurate for real life gay teen experience - even down to the chubby friend-girl! I even thing from the point of the parents is well told. Great movie, a lot of fun and very lovable characters!
Loved this film! It's hilarious. This is on my sis's favorite movies list. Right, Wan!?
