I rarely concern myself with the sexuality of characters in film, I think nine times out of ten a romance hinders more than it helps, but with _Get the Girl_ I'd like to float you the idea of how drastically the script would be changed if the lead was gay. Keep everything else the same, but change is sexuality and you have (in my opinion) a much more enjoyable film. Obviously, that is not the case, so instead my takeaway from _Get the Girl_ is two simple facts, the first was some new information, and the second was just confirming something I already knew: 1) There is a person on this Earth by the name of Jerry Purpdrank, and 2) Adi Shankar is a weird fuckin' dude. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
