Pride Month Movie - Day Twenty One: My Fake Boyfriend

My Fake Boyfriend (2022)

Directed by Rose Troche

Screenplay by Luke Albright, Greg Boaldin, and Joe Wanjai Ross

Stars: Keiynan Lonsdale, Dylan Sprouse, Marcus Rosner, Samer Salem, Sarah Hyland, Karen Robinson, Jaden Goetz and Simon Sinn

The trailer of this movie came out and I thought it would be a sweet movie. I need to stop getting hyped over trailers.

Part-time stuntman/self-defense instructor, Andrew (Lonsdale) is in an on/off relationship with soap opera star, Nico (Rosner). Andrew's friends, Jake and Kelly (Sprouse, Hyland) want to break the cycle of a toxic relationship. Jake's brilliant idea to create a fake boyfriend named 'Cristiano' using his graphic design prowess, but things become complicated when Andrew falls for cook, Rafi (Salem).

Oh, boy. This movie is not funny. All of the jokes are clunkers. I did not care about the plight Andrew's love life. Jake's obsession with the avatar of  'Cristiano' was so stupid. Rafi was wasted in this movie. The movie is so lazy that when the text screens pop up; you can see that Nico was spelled "Niko" the first time and then "Nico" for the subsequent times.

Avoid this movie at all costs.

Rating: 1/10
