Manuel Betancourt Variety 09/28/2022
No matter its contemporary setting, [My Fake Boyfriend] feels like a throwback to an earlier era of Drew/Sandra/Julia-led vehicles. For better and for worse. Go to Full Review Lena Wilson New York Times 06/16/2022
To set expectations, it’s best to think of “My Fake Boyfriend” as two movies. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 06/09/2022
3/5
An accomplished and beautifully judged performance by Australian Keiynan Lonsdale elevates this preposterous romantic comedy, which could easily have been a complete turkey. Go to Full Review Eric Langberg Everything's Interesting 07/20/2022
Gay people deserve cheesy romcoms, too. It’s very rare that we see films like this, ones with recognizable stars, raunchy humor, and eye candy to spare; it’s even more rare that both romantic leads are men of color. Go to Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media 06/29/2022
2/5
The cast of My Fake Boyfriend is an energetic and likable bunch and their collective charm and enthusiasm makes this far more watchable than it has any right to be. Go to Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens 06/27/2022
3/5
If you’re willing to overlook logic and reality, then this is a hilarious and well-written comedy. But if you’re not… maybe watch some mumblecore. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Shamil M Jul 7 This is a very funny romantic comedy that made me smile. I like this movie. Keiylan,dylan and samer playing their characters was absolutely the stand outs. See more Rachel K 11/09/2024 This movie is extremely cute. Watching this movie as part of the LGBTQIA+ community I can see some serious themes in this romcom without being a serious movie. One of my favorite LGBTQIA+ movies to date. See more jose c 11/16/2022 es entretenida y me parecio graciosa. mi novio y yo la vimos un par de veces. See more Excel A 11/12/2022 My fake boyfriend I feel this movie could have been better, way way better, because the entire story can best be described as Incredulous. The characters are mostly one dimensional, and this isn't on the cast but on the plot they have to work with. It's light-hearted and easygoing if you can forget how Incredulous the premise of the movie is. If you don't watch My Fake Boyfriend, I have to say, you're missing out on nothing. See more 08/12/2022 Fresh and fun dating story! Grab some popcorn and enjoy a good time. See more 07/20/2022 Seriously not even Disney movies for tweens are so ridiculous. See more Read all reviews
