Billy's
Hollywood Screen Kiss - Kiss Me, Baby!
by Tallulah
Givehead
Sean Hayes' film debut as Billy - just a regular
gay guy looking for love and longing to connect in
this crazy world - shows us exactly the star he
would become. He falls hard for Gabrie l ... is he or
isn't he. And let Ta tell you any film that features
the
Goddess Holly Woodlawn and some of mah
girlfriends in fabulous outfits gets five stars in
mah book! A well done, superbly acted, fun, feel
good movie.
The road to romance is anything but straight in this
delightfully campy comedy that takes a hilarious
look at the 90's. Billy Collier, a handsome goateed
photographer, has dreams of success in his
viewfinder with
no love in the picture. But all that
changes when he meets and falls for handsome
"is-he-or-isn't-he" coffeehouse waiter Gabriel (Brad
Rowe, an eerie Brad Pitt look-alike who may or
may not be gay himself, and asks him to pose for a
series of photos recreating great Hollywood screen
kisses. Gaining support from his helpful roommate
Georgina (Meredith
Scott Lynn), Billy tries mightily to win the
heart of his dreamy object of affection. We follow
Billy's often frantic attempts to figure out whether
Gabriel might be interested in him romantically. The
highpoint is a hilarious scene with the two men in
bed together. See what develops in this warm and
witty film.
