PLOT DESCRIPTION
When the death of his parents prompts Billy to move back home in order to better care for his mentally challenged younger brother Johnny, the experiences that follow leave the caring brother forever changed in this small-town tale of courage and friendship from director Jeff London. Upon returning to his quaint east-coast village home, Billy not only reconnects with his brother Johnny, but with his childhood best-friend Dean - who is currently home recovering from injuries sustained during military duty in Iraq - as well. When Billy begins to realize that his feelings for Dean have grown beyond friendship into something far deeper, the fear of his secret getting out paralyzes him from acting on his emotions. Dean has his own secrets though, and when the truth about Billy's true desires come out, the lives of all three men will be changed forever. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide



Review
"If you want to experience a "feel good" love story, especially around Christmastime, then you need to see "Regarding Billy." The principal character, Billy, played by Ronnie Kerr, is a truly believable--and loveable--person who always puts the needs of others before his own, as seen in his unselfish love toward his mentally challenged brother, Johnny, played by Jack Sway, after the death of their parents. Billy's unspoken and unexpressed love for his boyhood friend Dean, played by Jason Van Eman, brings just the right amount of tension to the storyline to keep everything interesting. And, of course, we are rewarded with a great ending when Billy summons his courage to tell Dean how he truly feels about him, and discovers that Dean feels the same way. Yes, indeed, it's always great to see the good guys win every now and then. If you're a hopeless romantic at heart, then check out "Regarding Billy." You won't be disappointed."
