Il mio finto ragazzo

This movie has an entertaining storyline with characters who are a lot of fun to watch. Where it falls short for me is the lack of depth. We know that the two best friends, Andrew and Jake, are insecure and lacking confidence, but we never really learn why that is. And at the end when everything comes to a head, there's not really any self-reflection. The consequences come as a result hurting the people they cared about, but not really for lying to a ton of people. So for me, it was just missing that extra layer to have me invested in the characters. I feel like I didn't know much about them other than what was happening in their lives in that moment. Overall, the movie was entertaining enough, but it made no sort of impact on any level, at all.

I got intrigued when I read the synopsis. Creating a fake boyfriend to keep away a toxic one? That's interesting and potentially funny. And while it was pretty funny to see the reality of social media users portrayed in this film (dumb and quick to judge something or someone), but I still can stop myself from thinking that the story isn't acceptable or logical. In real life, you couldn't actually get away with creating an imaginary person, especially when it involves money. I'm not an expert in law, but I'm pretty sure it can be called fraud and it's illegal. So why did I give it a 6? Because it's not an amateur work and the comedy is still pretty good, not to mention that it's decently acted and has a good ending. I'm a sucker for good endings. So in my opinion, this movie is still good enough to watch.

Swooned throughout!!! Amazing chemistry between the leads, super funny and cute story. Also, Dylan Sprouse is HILARIOUS in this. I already want to watch it again. Hope there is a sequel!

This movie don't deserve the hate, it is a good lighthearted romantic comedy, lots of laughs, bromance, good acting and of course it is not realistic. I haven't watch a realistic romcom 🤔

Anyways, it is on prime video!

Deception is rewarded and everything else in this film is vaguely incoherent and incomprehensible. At times the characters come across as if the screenwriter had never met a human.

Cast diversity is nice for pride month, just wish the film was better.
