Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss

(TriMark)

Tommy O'Haver's giddy, P. Hayes as Billy, a struggling photographer whose career and love prospects both get a jump start when he meets Gabriel (Brad Rowe, a dead ringer for Brad Pitt), a buff coffeeshop boy who agrees to pose for Billy's "Hollywood Screen Kiss" photo spread. What ensues is a comedic series of misfires of the erotic sort. O'Haver stretches his production-budget dollar impressively, but as a storyteller he layers the film with too many heavy-handed diatribes about gays, straights, and "Can't we all just get along."
