Product Description
This hilarious parody about coming to terms with one's heterosexuality opens with best friends David and Eric leaving their small town in Kansas after graduating from high school. The two move in with David's aunt in cosmopolitan Louisville, Kentucky, where they spend their days earning their keep by landscaping Aunt Collette's yard, and their evenings acting in an all male community theater production of, The Importance Of Singing Earnest David, finds himself struggling with accepting that all his new friends are gay; his strife is further complicated when Eric comes out by admitting his crush on the costume designer, Brenton. Suddenly, David is caught in a circle where heterosexuality is not the norm, and is further confused by complications experienced with the show's stage manager and his female love interest, Lauren. Coupled with a freakish homoerotic nightmare, David decides that he too must be gay. Fake ID is a whirl-about movie of non-stop fun where one can learn that it¹s okay to be straight.

4.0 out of 5 stars What would you do to fit in?, June 8, 2004

By A Customer

Excellent indie film reversing the idea of a gay guy trying to fit in with his majority straight community. When you think theatre community, what comes to mind? After cravats? There you go. This film follows a straight burgening actor as he struggles to fit in with his majority homosexual theatre community.

I'm not going to go into more detail - just watch it. But to pick out favourites, the score and sound track are great, and the 'Ernest' insert adds a hilarious sureality.

In all, have to say you need to get this film. Now. Go on.

This is one of those gay indie films that is nothing but fun. It's got drama, drag queens, cuties and camp. What more could you ask for!

By	Roland (Bozeman, MT) - See all my reviews

This is one of my fave films of all time. It's seriously funny you guys. I bought this based on a recommendation from my cousin Peter. Peter may be functionally retarded but the goofy bastard sure knows his indie--fish-out-of-water--gay--comedies.
