It is a performances centric movie
hyped garbage
I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

View MoreBest friends Karma Ashcroft (Katie Stevens) and Amy Raudenfeld (Rita Volk) get mistaken for a lesbian couple by gay student Shane Harvey (Michael Willett) and nominated for Homecoming Queens in the aggressively progressive Austin high school. Karma is desperate to be popular and maintains the ruse. Karma is straight and pining for hunky Liam Booker (Gregg Sulkin). On the other hand, Amy is discovering her sexuality and her attraction to Karma. Opposing them is Amy's self-obsessed righteous step-sister Lauren Cooper (Bailey De Young).This has an appealing young cast. The characters are fun. The premise is digging into serious issues but at times, it threatens to treat it in less-than-serious ways. The best part continues to be the friendship of Karma and Amy. Lauren is a hilarious villain until she softened her edge later on. There is a good group of friends here. It could have continued after the three seasons but it's also a bit repetitive dealing with Karma and Amy's relationship.
View MoreI think I have to stop watching MTV shows.Maybe I was expecting something more but I actually find the concept really horrible. Not only are they lying to everyone at their school just to be noticed and popular but also, I think it was in the second episode, they both told their parents that they are lesbians.I seemed like in every episode of the first half of the season that they would start off okay, then have a fight and 'break up' before making up again before the episode ended.I kind of find Karma to be really selfish and inconsiderate, mainly towards her best friend/'girlfriend' Amy, always using their friendship to talk Amy into doing things for their cover.Pretty much the only entertainment and laughs came from Shane (Michael Willett), the rest of the cast is just bland and boring, nothing really special about them including the 'evil stepsister' Lauren (Bailey De Young).Pretty much the only thing I liked about this show was that these teenagers swore, albeit it was beeped, at least it was more still realistic but nothing compared to the swearing I was doing watching this show!Don't waste your time, I won't be watching any more of this!
View MoreWhere do I even start? In the beginning of the series, the story develops way too quickly. It felt forced and rushed. Every story require some background, and this one was just so superficial.It's also pretty unrealistic and I don't think the writers really cared about making it such. An extremely accepting high school in the US. Really? There are several unrealistic plots throughout the series as well.Things are over exaggerated and over simplified. I'm not sure how this has gotten any positive reviews.The acting isn't outstanding from any of the cast, and Katie Stevens does not look anywhere near 15 years old.
View MoreFaking It is amazing at start , It's interesting funny, arousing and most off all heart warming. lesbian ruse clearly won't carry the show forever. That's okay, because other stories are also going on at this weird alt-high school. Mean girl Lauren (Bailey Buntain) gets no traction here. "In any other school in Texas, I would rule," she accurately grumbles. Hester's rulers include Shane (Michael Willett), a comedy-focused version of Kurt on "Glee." "Faking It'' starts off sounding gimmicky and ends up being rather sweet. In a good way. Amy (Rita Volk) and Karma (Katie Stevens) are besties at Hester High School in Austin, Tex., which rewards rebellion rather than conformity. Amy and Karma are harmlessly anonymous, a situation Karma burns to change. So when a series of offhand random remarks gets them tagged as lesbians, Karma persuades Amy to go along. They have a brand! They're popular! The plan creates a few dilemmas, of course. Like how to parlay their new popularity into, say, a boyfriend when it's contingent on their not being interested in boys. Yet many of the fundamental things still apply. Parents are oblivious and barely tolerable. Prom matters. There's still nothing like a hunky guy, in this case Liam (Gregg Sulkin). "Faking It" also has cartoonish moments. It is, after all, a comedy.But beyond the joke, the show's premise is encouraging: that being gay is no big deal. Besides, that isn't what "Faking It" is really about. The engine driving this show is female friendship, the kind strong enough I absolutely love this brand new show I hope everyone will to.
