Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 34 Average rating: 4.0 "Wee!" I must say, this movie is flippin hilarious. I love all the characters, so funny! "The humor is true to the book." Okey, so it's short in comparison to the anime. So you can't fit all the humorous angst & attempts at scoring into one little DVD, but you can at least have a piece of it to get hooked onto. There's been rumor of Fake OAV2 if it hasn't already happened. I got this last year as an $8 VHS fansub. I didn't care for the dubb when it came out, but at least one of the voices was less annoying in English^_~ "Can we PLEASE get a sequel?" I just have to say that I bought this, and it's awesome. Seen it 3 times so far on DVD. Very romantic and downright hilarious! But it also has it's very sexy and action-packed highlights in the movie. I just want to know if there can be a sequel to this someday. If so, I'll buy two copies. Like some have mentioned before, it doesn't preach, which is good. But it also has a look into our favorite 27th Precinct boys' lives. Very very good, and the fans are hoping for more. Thank you Ms. Sanami Matoh! "A REAL expieriance" If you're a Shonen ai/yaoi anime fan, Fake is definatly for you, I got it because the two main characters are wearing very tight pants on the DVD cover, but anyway,... This is about Dee and Ryo, two New York cops on vacation in rural England, With their basic agndas being relaxing (Ryo) and getting Ryo in to bed (Dee) But both of their plans take the sidebar (well, Ryo's more than Dee's) When Japanese tourists start turning up dead around the hotel, this is a major problem for Ryo, because he is half japanese. So together they have to try and figure out what's going on while battling obsticles such as, annoying admirers, brat kids and much more "As Fake As A Sitcom" There is an implausible script and unanswered questions and an ending that's so convenient it leaves you emotionally removed -- much like a sitcom. Why is Ryo so ambiguous about his feelings for Dee? Is he a role model for frustrated gay Japanese youth who cannot be emotionally honest and decisive with anyone, especially themselves? Maybe I'm asking for too much, and maybe this was for younger audiences. This show offers a lot of colourful animation, the occasional humour, a graphic murder plot (not really suitable for younger audiences, eh?), and no shounen-ai (just a couple semi-romantic kisses). On the political bright-side, it has a positive representation of homosexuals (they are not the enemies) who are respected as normal people (Dee's antics and Ryo's ineptness aside) by the people around them.
