Fake ID (2003) User Reviews

Gay Deceivers

[geraldjones1959 · 1/10 · 18 May 2008]

Wow, just when you think you have seen the worst movie ever made you find one like Fake ID!!! This movies gives new meaning to the word "Bad" - The acting was awful, the story even worst and the singing enough to make you reach for the earplugs. The whole concept was inane and was more than likely a project by a local Kentucky theatre group. The stereotypes were insulting and while probably not intended to be homophobic sure come across that way. The Gay characters are flitty and shallow, but then again every character is in this film! Even as a spoof which it obviously is, it is BAD!!! Don't waste one second of your life watching this BOMB!

No.

This movie is neither hilarious nor fabulous. It is boring. The only reason I kept watching was to see the Supermodel Asia, but she too was mindnumbingly boring. I started to fall asleep. Don't watch this movie ever. Also, I am dubious of the claim that this film is satire. Satire of what, please? Perhaps the filmmakers are confusing dumb boring jokes and stereotypes with satire. Satire is meant to expose the failings of individuals, institutions, or societies to ridicule or scorn. While there was much to scorn in this movie, I don't think that what I found ridiculous (i.e. everything) was what the filmmakers intended. The large African American woman jerking off a huge dildo should have the first signal to turn off the film posthaste. Just sayin!

One of the worst movies I ever saw

A move about a straight man with gay manners and his gay friend with somewhat more straight manners. It breaks down almost at once. I suspect this is some local gay acting club (because even those that are playing straight are behaving in the way you would expect your prototypical gay man to act) that somehow got a movie financed. Horrible acting all around and the script is so poor it makes your skin crawl.

I bet these amateurs had a great time making this movie.

Why on earth they wish to subject others to it is beyond me. Even if it's the only thing on TV, it would not be worth watching.

Score: 1/10.

Fake ID - The Movie Not To See!

[commercebusiness · 1/10 · 25 May 2007]

Wasted money renting this film! The only fun part was using a real Fake ID I got from 'www.nextdayid.com' to rent it! Why did I rent a movie about a straight man with gay manners? Well the answer is that someone gay recommended it who I have found out has not actually seen it! He used me as a sort of reviewer! Anyway this film has a weak plot, under paid actors and is rather dull by modern standards! There are much better films to see - I recommend that you check out the IMDb top rated films, look for films highly regarded - the more votes the better! I really like this website and hope it keeps on allowing people to review films the way it does!

A wonderful spin on coming out

"Fake I.D." was recommended by a friend of a friend, and my first thought was "Oh great, another cliché gay comedy." I was happily surprised. "Fake I.D." takes coming out of the closet to a new level. It's hilarious, touching, and fantastically ironic. There are also a plethora of subtle nuances that you won't get until the second or third time you see it. Be sure to watch for the scene in the restaurant. The waiter's cameo is priceless!

Awesome!

So funny, so hot, so wonderfully ironic. Max and Mikey are the best! and Evil Candy Jo is the best drag queen I have ever seen!

It puts a great new spin on the coming out experience in a way that anybody can identify with. I recommend this to anyone who has had to come out of the closet or anyone who has known someone who has.

Lots of shirtless scenes and subtle sexuality without crossing the line into smut. Thank God!

The supporting cast is hilarious and Brian Gligor and Stuart Plfanfgjlang are so hot and hilarious.

Watch this movie!

So fabulous!!!!

It's funny, it's hot, and it's eye-opening without being preachy. Everyone should see this movie, gay or straight or other. Move over Rupaul, Asia's Candy Jo is so-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o evil. Where did this cast come from? Perelmuter and Gligor are absolutely adorable. Michael Cyril Creighton and Jason Decker are HI-LARIOUS as the mentor couple Max and Mikey.

The movie completely flips the tables on how society deals with sexuality and actually had me feeling for the straight boy. If more people saw this movie, the world would be a better place. I hope these guys keep making movies. If you are reading this and you have money, give it Reyes and Perelmuter. They no what they're doing.

I laughed a lot, and learnt even more

Another reviewer, very hostile and rather sad or maybe sour, did at least have the grace to say: "I bet these amateurs had a great time making this movie." Yepper, and I had a great time watching it. So it's wacky, so it's over the top more often than it's grounded, but who cares? It's not just an escapist fling - there's a real, common and important story being told here. Not just another gloomy take on identity, confusion, indecision, learning about selves and others, and exactly what we are to them, and they to us, but one full of exuberance. For over an hour I delighted in escaping with them. The pace never slackens, and I didn't stop laughing or gasping at the sheer inventiveness of their take on investigating the nature of homosexual adolescence-getting-to-adulthood, and the various personas that embody it. No spoilers, I promise: you just get in there with this gang and work out where David ended up for yourself (and it won't necessarily be easy or obvious). Just watch him, and his buddy, and their interactions with the others, watch their fun as they get to self-realisations, and have a ball yourself on the way. Buy it - you won't catch it all at first time, or maybe even second-time round. I'm up for my third viewing tonight, and expect to enjoy it just as much.
