If Only "Straight" Romantic Comedies Were This Good!
19 July 1999
"Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss" is something I think gays have been missing for a while; that is, a simple, fluffy, light-hearted, funny love story. This isn't a complicated film, and if you're looking for a movie that gets all angst-filled and dramatic with its portrayals of gay relationships, this isn't it. This is just a very charming and delightful movie about the bittersweet longing for someone you fear you can't have. I think the ending, sometimes maligned, is simply saying that the quest for love is universal and unending. You just gotta keep looking. It seems that very few people actually ever find true love, so the rest of us just have to make do the best we can with the journey. BHSK is, up to a point, also about that.
