Entertaining

This very nicely photographed film is not going to go down as a great classic.

But it is entertaining with very likable characters.

Actor/Director Paul Bartel (Eating Raoul, Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills) has a good role as a gay photographer.

The fantasy movies that run in Billy's head are very nicely done. The tacky drag all through the film are the only laugh-out-loud scenes.

All-in-all quite an enjoyable, low-budget film.
