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.

To set expectations, it’s best to think of “My Fake Boyfriend” as two movies.

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.

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.

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.

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.
