BILLY'S HOLLYWOOD SCREEN KISS (1998)

With this cherry tart of a story about a boyfriend-less photographer (the very likable Sean P. Hayes) with a crush on a dishy L.A. newcomer for whom the sexual-orientation jury is still out (Brad Rowe), writer-director Tommy O'Haver has come up with a gay, as in homosexual, romantic comedy that's also gay, as in sparkling, high-spirited, debonair. For such a teeny premise, O'Haver piles his after-dinner plate awfully high -- characters living life like a Hollywood melodrama, music by Petula Clark and Nina Simone, a color palette out of an old MGM extravaganza, transvestites, general fabulousness. But, hey, have a bite, it's just dessert.
