There's no time quite as awkward as adolescence. Between the sky-high expectations of parents, the constant scrutiny of peers, and one's own raging hormones, something's got to give. And if, like Steven Carter, you also happen to be gay, navigating your way through adolescence can be like hiking through a minefield! Ben Silverstone (Adrian Lyne's Lolita) stars as Steven Carter in this charming and compelling comedy that drew raves at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival. A cinematic valentine about coming of age and coming to terms with who you are, Get Real "shouldn't be missed. It mingles laughter and tears, and like it's hero, is determined to make love soar above everything," (Richard Rayner, Harper's Bazaar). (English), There's no time quite as awkward as adolescence.

get real

Ich finde Englischen Humor einfach sehens- und fühlenswert. In diesem Film kommt er so richtig gut zum Zuge. Ist es doch eigentlich ein recht heikles Thema. Nur englische Filmemacher können ein so ernsthaftes Thema so humorvoll und doch ernst darstellen.

Wäre ein absolut toller Film, ich liebe "get real", aber nicht in englisch, wenn es keine deutschen Untertitel gibt.
Zwischentöne

So lustig finde ich den Film nicht. Da und dort drückt zwar Humor durch, aber der Film zeigt doch sehr gut unter welchem Druck gerade Jugendliche stehen. Ein Outing als Teenager ist der absolute Ausnahmefall!
Gerade deshalb finde ich den Film auch für Jugendliche sehenswert.
Witziges aus England

Eine wunderbare Komödie aus England mit viel Humor, welche das Thema des Outings und Schwulseins locker angeht. Auch für Heteros sehenswert ;)
