Synopsis |
|
British novelist Giles De'Ath, a
stuffy man who is completely
oblivious to modern life and
technologies, gets locked out of his
house and settles for a visit to the
cinema. Instead of the E.M. Forster
adaptation that he intended to view,
he is shocked to discover that he
accidentally purchased a ticket to "Hotpants
College 2." But before he can flee
the theatre, he becomes mesmerized
by the appearance of teen idol Ronny
Bostock. Unable to shake or quench
his thirst for the actor, he
eventually travels to Long Island
with the intentions of meeting him
face to face. What begins as an
awkward, distant relationship slowly
becomes a mutual friendship that
eventually concludes when the truth
comes out. A funny and touching film
based on the novel by Gilbert Adair. |
