Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss: Review

BILLY'S HOLLYWOOD SCREEN KISS
starstarstarstar
A fresh and funny trifle, fluffy, brightly colored and utterly inconsequential but so personable you kind of have to love it. Billy (Sean P. Hayes), a photographer who specializes in Polaroid works, has a knack for falling in love with the wrong men. Like Gabriel (Brad Rowe), a handsome, hunky and self-professed straight waiter/musician who's sending a veritable flash flood of mixed messages. Bankrolled by old friend and mentor Perry (Richard Ganoung), Billy is shooting a series of images based on famous screen clinches, and pegs Gabriel as the Burt Lancaster stand-in for his homage to From Here to Eternity's famous full-body kiss on the beach. But Gabriel is also being wooed by fashionable photographer Rex Webster (Paul Bartel) for a high-profile underwear ad that will have to be shot the same weekend: Quelle crise! Add in Billy's best friend George (Meredith Scott Lynn), short for Georgianna, her on-again off-again boyfriend Andrew (Christopher Bradley) and supporting cast of drag queens, lipstick lesbians, surfer studs, butch dykes, stoners, beach bums and scenemakers -- Carmine D. Giovinazzo stands out in the role of drug-addled Gundy, who tries to woo Georgianna by composing an impromptu and hilariously vulgar love song -- and the stage is set for frisky romantic farce, complete with running commentary. There's a danger in overpraising Tommy O' Haver's debut feature: It's such a modest little thing that it could easily be crushed under the weight of great expectations. But it's a sweet little breath of fresh air, all attitude and bubbly neuroses: Only a churl could resist its cracked Holly Golightly vibe. leave a comment --Maitland McDonagh
