VOD: My Fake Boyfriend (dir: Rose Troche, 2022)

"Don't f**k with love!"

My Fake Boyfriend is another glossy and totally unrealistic NY rom-com, charting the relationships of two best friends (one straight, one gay) as a too-perfect online boyfriend is created to get one of them out of a toxic relationship, but as he goes viral and the real world and fakery begin to blur, the two friends finally learn the meaning of true love.  The film itself is simple, sweet, undemanding and fluffily easy viewing, Keiynan Lonsdale proves to be a charming protagonist, and the whole things breezes along pleasantly enough without leaving much of an impression.
