RULES OF ATTRACTION
Today's gay movie, not on the "favorite" but a pretty good one:
Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss (1998)
with Sean Hayes (pre Will and Grace) nudges the ball a few steps forward on the "gays are good" scale with a nicely even romantic comedy.
BIlly, unlucky in love, learns that he is not following the rules of attraction. Meaning that you really need to find someone who likes you as much as you like them.
Along the way there is a lot of fun with gay clichés and a few actually wonderful drag queens.
For those to whom this matters, there is a Hollywood ending just to make it all worthwhile.
We saw his when it came out and it is as fresh today as then. I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5. I wouldn't mind seeing it again if you give me a couple of months.
