You'll Get Over It (French: À cause d'un garçon) is a gay-themed coming of age film released in 2002. The literal translation of the French title is Because of a Boy.
Vincent (Baumgartner) is a shy boy who is on the swim team and is also a good student with his girlfriend Noémie (Maraval) and a best friend, Stéphane (Comar), life in school can't be better for him. But then, he suddenly starts to have encounters with the new boy, Benjamin (Elkaïm). They have a private meeting and then some boys write on a wall "Molina is a fag". Vincent starts getting bullied at high school, changing his life and his relationships with family and friends in ways he will have to accept.
Reviewing the translated version released in the United States in 2004, Dave Kehr of the New York Times called the film "well-meaning and hopelessly bland".[1]
