Film from 2000-2003. Boy falls in love with a girl over the phone. He wants to meet her. She resists, then relents. He goes on a road trip with a friend, arriving at the place they were to meet, it transpires the girl is a boy. Turns out that’s not a problem, or at least, the boy isn’t angry.
Those are the details I have, and they may be a little out of sync. For certain there’s a road trip. For certain, their relationship is made over the phone. For certain, they meet and the boy is empathetic.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

In a different branch of the multiverse that might’ve been the move I went to see. But in this one, no, definitely not.
Thanks!
do you consider the movie a gay romance?
– VHS_LivesThe way I remember it, it was more about having the courage and strength to be yourself. The love story was hetero from the perspective of the audience and the protagonist. As I remember it, the male character pretending to be female was homosexual. The elements of the story which play off each other -- the love story which turns out not to be a romantic love story, the drama of the betrayal, the courage to be honest in that context, and the empathy on display (as I remember it) when the protagonist supports the other character's feelings of isolation and fear are all remarkable.
