Synopsis:
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 throuh 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 its hero, is determined to make love soar above everything" (Richard Rayner, Harper`s Bazaar).

Your Opinions and Comments
With great and heartfelt performances, this little movie really shines.
The video transfer is very good. There are no compression signs to be seen.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is good. The surrounds are hardly ever used, but still, totally acceptable for this kind of a movie.
The menus are still and silent.
The disc offers no extras at all. What a shame. A behind the scenes look would`ve been very nice.
Bottom line - a sensitive little movie with a big "get real" message to everyone. Too bad the disc is so bare. Still, well worth a rental.
