Kiss Loves You (2004)
Not "Trekkies" for KISS Fans
An absolutely brilliant documentary about the absurdity of idol worship.
If you buy "KISS Loves You" expecting to laugh at kooky KISS fans you may be disappointed. Although the film does use subtle humor throughout, it manages to avoid the condescending tone of "Trekkies" altogether.
The film's three basic stories unfold hypnotically. The first thread follows a family that calls themselves "The KISS Family" on their quest to meet Paul Stanley, the second is best described as "The War of the Tribute Bands" while The third is "The Bill Baker Story". This one deals with an obsessed Ace Frehely collector/impersonator/friend, who gets a little to close to his idol and burns. All three stories unfold slowly over the years and each share the same story arc- down, down & downer.
Buy & cry.
