Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss

Rating:
Summary: MUST SEE MOVIE
Review: This is one of my all time favorite movies. To not love it, you must be a living corpse. Sean Hayes shines in this movie. The soundtrack is just as awesome. Too bad to buy the video is so expensive! Although it is worth the $90, I vote to rent it to your hearts content until amazon.com lowers the price.

Summary: New Queer Cinema? How about just a great film?
Review: Sean Hayes is awesome. Imagine a story that puts all of your hip, witty, weird and cool friends together and explores relationships and the snappy comments and cynicism that goes along with it. Add some great photography and the requisite beautiful people and you have a great movie. I want a copy of this to show friends. There is just too much to like here! Maybe there really is someone for everyone...keep looking!

Summary: Excellent story with hidden twists
Review: I loved this movie! The real-ness of the storyline and the passion that Billy had for his art and his subject (Gabriel) made this movie even more realistic. I will say the ending was not what I wanted, and it left me with several questions, but all in all -- I really enjoyed the movie and would see it again.

Summary: Self exploring , thought provoking and simply irresistable.
Review: This movie is one of the most beautiful movie that explores and tries to give better understanding to some of us out there. I remember watching "Beautiful Thing" two years ago. It was great . However, I find Tommy O' Haver's movie as a combination of brilliant ideas.His movie has this humane touch and it deals with feeling more sensetively. I thought the ending as harsh. Well life is not bed of roses afterall. The script has a light tone and the movie overall was hilarious and the message potrayed was an important one. I would strongly suggest this movie to my friends. And they loved it too. However, I don't think that everyone out there would be able to appreciate it. Well, to bad for them , then.

Summary: Longing to kiss someone who may or may not want to kiss back
Review: Billy's first Hollywood kiss is the first enchanting romance to come out of the burgeoning gay-themed canon of mainline cinema. And Sean Hayes, who plays Billy, is the character who gives it that charm. What's even more impressive is that Billy maintains this interesting charm smack dab in the middle of a movie with some marginally sympathetic and some downright unpleasant characters wrapped in barbed wire. There's a repugnant Paul Bartels playing a hideous chicken hawk photographer that everyone fawns all over who, in reality, would be thrown off the nearest cliff. And then there's Gabriel who plays the object of Billy's affection, who indeed is kissable, but that's about it. This character is played by Brad Rowe, a jarringly distracting Brad Pitt clone, and I do mean clone. But once you've sorted all this out, and waited patiently through a couple of subplots you're ready to sit back and root for Billy. He's as tied up in knots about love as any of us, but he's so good natured and hopeful, even when he's convinced he will never be kissed at all. There is one universal scene that will cause every gay man who has ever spent the night in the same bed with a beautiful boy you weren't totally sure was gay, and longed all night, awake and heart racing, lightly touching shoulders and panting. Billy managed to get through that, and more, but you keep rooting. This movie is so good, it transcends labels and is just a romance and a good slice of twenty-something life, albeit pre-career, a good date movie, for any couple combination. It has a couple of technical production problems, and a few too many affectations, but Sean Hayes gives a near-perfect take on good natured angst. This movie gets a recommendation from me. See you at the cineplex.

Summary: GAY FILM IS NICE SURPRISE.
Review: Sean Hayes from NBCs "Will & Grace" stars in this film about a young gay male whose passion is in photography, trying to find himself and his lovepartner for life. Sean Hayes shows his true acting ability as a male struggling with his day to day life trying to survive financially, and also feels disconnected without a true relationship. He meets up with a young blonde who resembles Brad Pitt so much it is scary. A matter of fact the actors first name is Brad. However throughout the picture the Hayes character shows his true vulnerability, yet takes a chance with this man, knowing he may get hurt in the process, but takes a chance...on life. An excellent little picture that deserved more attention than it received. Don't get confused with Sean Hayes - he plays a deeper, more emotional gay male in this picture than he plays as the catty scratching Jack on NBCs "Will and Grace".....a definite one to rent.

Summary: See it.
Review: This was a really awesome movie, ranging from the highly erotic to the hysterically funny to the sniffly tender. The story is both new and familiar to many a gay man, or to many a human being for that matter if interpreted liberally. See it, for certain sure. (However, don't pay eighty bucks for it; you can get it used for ten.)

Summary: Too stero-typical, i think

Summary: A fabulous film!!
Review: Such a fantastic movie! I saw this at a time when I needed a pick-me-up, and it worked! I have gone through what Billy has, and to see a movie based on my problems (not personally, but you know what I mean) was a real comfort! The acting is superb, as well as the casting. A definite must see film!!

Summary: I Love L.A.
Review: Great location picks around my hometown of Los Angeles and Catalina Island, whew! I'm proud of it. Very humorous with all the heartbreaks and pains after all the effort a gay person had done to impress a guy who is not for him. Very typical gay life romance. But what hurts from my point of view is that not even a one night stand romance happened in this film. Not even a B.J.! I guess that's the way love hurts in this hilarious comedy. A collector's item for gay viewers.
