Meet Mark Anderson, a recent stroke victim who is frail and weak. Also, his best friend Thomas, a classic over-the-hill drag queen desperate for love and happiness. Mark and Thomas have a master plan, to find Mark's son, James Anderson, the love of his life once and for all. Meanwhile, Billy Houston, a young gay teenager who has just turned 18, gets his first country kiss from his best friend Rick and is immediately caught and thrown out of his house by his abusive father. With no place to turn, no cash and no contacts, Billy hitchhikes to the big city. Confused, lost and running scared, he soon finds a help wanted ad posted in a local city gay café by James. Billy interviews for the job and soon accepts the challenge as the role of caretaker on the spot. He quickly learns about full responsibility, independence, not to mention real life lessons about being gay. Billy unexpectedly finds himself in love with James and builds a bond with Mark that is unbreakable. "An Angel Named Billy" is a heartwarming, funny and unforgettable story of an abused boy who, in leaving his life of hate and mistrust, is able to come to terms in his own way of being gay in a modern world. Finding new friends, unexpected love and a whole new way of life will never be quite the same again.

| User ReviewBee CIt's really cute, but it would be better if they had a good actor play James. |
| User ReviewGeorge EA truly heart warming story of negative situations turned positive. Though his own father disowned him and kicked him out for being gay, Billy finds love and acceptance in the open arms of strangers he meets. Any parent who would disown their child simply because they are gay has a lot to learn about unconditional love, but it's good to know that everyone is not quite so ignorant and cold hearted. |
| User ReviewThomas JI enjoyed Dustin Belt's performance as Billy, the rest were the result of trailer park acting school. It is a nice story, but other than Dustin Belt, the acting is too distracting to enjoy. |
| User ReviewChris DNice overall story, Dustin Belt is cute, but they seriously needed some help to work it out...this could have been better, and could have been an hour and a half instead of two hours. Another half-arsed gay movie. However, I almost liked it, the story has potential. ...it could have been re-worked if someone(s) had taken the story and made it into a movie instead of a high school play. OR had it been taken with cheap hand-held consumer camcorders documentary style and cut down to 1 1/2 hrs...maybe. |
| User ReviewScott SIt's get one star because of the actor who played Billy was cute. That's the ONLY good thing about this movie. Everything else sucked SO much. The story seemed like a good idea, but the actors were terrible! Avoid this movie if you can. |
| User ReviewHollis GO filme é bem fraco. Fraco mesmo. Os personagens do filme são todos estereótipos batidos de gays: temos o adolescente esquisitinho expulso de casa, a drag excêntrica, a cacura com péssimo corte de cabelo, a pintosa... Só faltou o nerd enrustido. E nem são os personagens que irritam; o aspecto técnico é de uma amadorismo horroroso. E olha que o Dogma mostrou bem que o visual amador pode ser arrebatador, né? Péssimo também é o roteiro: uma incrível sucessão de clichês, com piadinhas imbecis e momentos com a finalidade de emocionar o espectador. Ah, vale lembrar também o péssimo momento musical do filme, que, creio eu, deveria animar o filme e mostrar uma espontaneidade dos personagens. A estrela completa vai de brinde, porque eu imaginei que poderia ser ainda pior. Não sei como, mas acho poderia. |
| User ReviewBrian CBad? Terrifying - but surprisingly good production values for such an obviously amateur production, which means SOMEone spent money on it, which, as an artist, gives me hope: Maybe, somewhere out there someone is insane and desperate to throw their wealth away (on me). |
