To me, this movie is perfection.

Please don't spend money on this.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Billy: Portrait of a Street Kid is the kind of movie that stays with you for a long time. It's a look at the life of a young man living in the ghettos of a large city but he wants desperately to be a veterinarian and make a good life for himself. As he tries his best at his job, he finds himself despising his street life and how people from the suburbs have more of a chance than he does, but when his beloved girlfriend Roseanne dies during a botched abortion and he tries to kill himself with a hypodermic needle, only the psychiatrist he's been forced to speak to can help him.This movie is slightly outdated, but it carries a powerful message about a brave person who is finally able to make his dreams come true. It had excellent actors, especially for a low-budget movie. LeVar Burton, Michael Constantine and Chick Vennera are especially good at their roles. The 1970's jazz/disco type soundtrack was really catchy and cool to listen to during the whole film as well. If you're looking for a movie that you'll remember forever about one person's struggle to achieve his dream career, look no further. This movie is amazing and really deserves a better rep.
