"Love and Death On Long Island" has a fascinating story to tell. The hero is John Hurt as Giles De'Ath, a cultured, stuffy English writer with no grasp whatsoever on modern technology (he doesn't know you can't use a VCR without a TV!). He accidentally sees the slob comedy movie "Hotpants College II," and becomes enraptured with pretty-boy actor Ronnie Bostock, played by Jason Priestly. This inspires an obsession in Giles seen more commonly in teenage girls. This sudden burst of celebrity worship in Giles brings him to put forth the concept of finding beauty where one least expects it. The whole movie presents an intelligent story that Giles De'Ath himself would admire.
