Similar to TV show "Faking it"


Not bashing this movie or anything, but judging by the trailer, I realized that this concept is already on TV for the 2nd season this year already. The Tv show, called "Faking it" is also about 2 best friends and one of them is lesbian who falls in love with the other girl. Their friendship is put to test when the other girl falls in love with a guy. Well that is my short info about the show pardon me if you find it wrong somehow(but you can tell it is similar to this movie). Just hoping that this would be good enough to pull it off on a big screen for a short period of time it is shown.

I watch Faking It, so after watching the trailer I was looking forward to comparing this movie and the TV show. I totally agree, the trailer does make it seem a lot like Faking It, but after watching it I didn't really get that vibe at all. I think there was some misinterpreted sexual tension at the beginning of the movie for me, but that is likely due to the fact that I was expecting the girls to get together at least once. The only thing I found similar to the show was Leighton Meester's feelings of loneliness and jealousy at Gillian having a boyfriend. I don't think Leighton's character was actually in love with Gillian's, unlike the girls in Faking It. . Overall though, I really enjoyed the movie and I would recommend it.

In 'Faking It', 2 straight girls pretend to be gay, but then one of them actually falls in love with the other one...
In 'Life Partners', 2 lifelong best friend, one straight and one gay, are in a wonderful friendship. The straight one then falls for a new guy, making the gay one fear she will be losing her best friend...
Two different stories...
