Ricky (Michelle Hendley) is a 21-year-old trans girl living in Kentucky. Her only real friend, straight-laced Robby, has been her trusty, totally platonic, confidant for over 15 years.

Boy Meets Girl (2014) Reviews
A charming love story with a likable lead
I had heard about this movie but until today did not have an opportunity to see it. Sadly, as an indie film it does not have the distribution it deserves, but now that we can stream it on vimeo the masses can finally watch. My interest in the film was due to the transgender main character. Having a trans actress playing a trans character is not common today, so this was an exciting opportunity for the community. They pulled it off. Ricky, played by Michelle Hendley is charming and fun. While the character is transgender and the story focuses on that point, she is a fun, sarcastic small town girl and it is easy to forget her anatomy throughout most of the film. While Michelle has a bit of a newcomer feel to her acting, it plays well into the coming of age trans female character. Sadly, her best friend Robby (Michael Welch) was quirky but really stiff. I was left wanting more from his character and kept hoping for a stronger dynamic between two. Acting aside, it's a beautiful story. Somewhat predictable but still a winning formula for a romantic comedy. I cried, I laughed, and I developed a major crush on the Ricky. There's not much more I could have hoped for from an Indie release. Well worth watching and sure to be a classic in the LGBT archives.
A response to the bad reviews
Someone said this movie is a piece of propaganda, and I'm no film expert, but EVERY movie is some kind of propaganda. This is a low budget indie film, no one makes these movies simply for entertainment, the filmmaker had something to say and they SAID IT! So A) if you're homophobic or transphobic you WILL NOT like this movie B) if you expect the main characters to be Sandra Bullock and James Franco, you WILL NOT like this movie. These are young people and for many if not all of them this is their first movie. In the beginning especially the script is rough, the chemistry is questionable, and the plot moves unrealistically fast. BUT about half-way in you can see the characters (and their actors) develop, the chemistry grows between everyone, and the plot is actually very interesting and unexpected. The academy and people who watch movies for technical things are not going to applaud this film, because to be honest it could have used a lot of work. But the subject is fresh, the content is good, and if you're trying to learn more about the transgender (and LGBQ) community this is a great film that I'm sure you will enjoy! PS - someone said this movie is trying to suggest everyone is a little gay, it kind of is. We kind of are :)
What a treat
A movie is the sum of its parts, its got to be interesting, be cast well, be believable even when its science fiction of a fairy tail and the characters... well... you have to care what happens to them. Though the story line is closer to fairy tail in today's world than reality, the performances are so good you don't think about this at the time. Ignore the 1 star from digital pimple, I am yet to see any reviews from said person higher than a 2. Michelle(the lead) was so credible as Ricky it leaves you pondering if the story is autobiographical though it clearly isn't. Just superb.
Adorable and funny
Adorable and unique indie romantic comedy that never quite leaves you knowing exactly how it will turn out. Expect a few intriguing twists. It questions not only modern dating, but gender, sexuality, and the very nature of love, and the struggle for acceptance. The acting was mostly excellent, although I will admit, there are a few times when it's blatantly obvious that this is a movie with a lower budget. A few lines are a bit rigid, but perhaps not the fault of the actors, but the writer. There were parts that weren't deeply moving, while the movie as a whole managed to remain lighthearted and cute, even as controversial topics were discussed. I definitely recommend it to fans of romantic comedies, it might widen your perspective a bit.
Definite must watch - you will gain so much from this movie
This was the most beautiful movie I have seen in years. Wonderful message of acceptance for the young (teenagers) and old. I think that the US desperately needed this movie right now and the world can really benefit from it too. Also, what a fantastic and fearless lead actress! I can't wait to see more work of her and other transgender actors. Overall, a bittersweet story of the struggles of life as a transgender person who is trying to fit into our society. It leaves you wrapped around a fuzzy feel-good feeling. Go watch it, you will not regret it.
