Eating Out Reviews
A great movie to have on while you do something else. For a reported 50K budget this movie is a spectacular achievement. Sort of a gay or bi sexy indie flick the guys are attractive enough to make you watch but the plot is slight enough that it doesn't demand your full attention.
Hölzernes und mieses Schauspiel, uninspirierte Dialoge, grottige Kameraführung und Schnitt, dämliche Geschichte. Ohne Worte! Einzig wegen Scott Lunsford gibt es den halben Stern.
A camp gay comedy flick that looks like a school project with a high budget. Gets more points for showing dicks.
Bordering on the obnoxious, or more like difficult to digest, EATING OUT thinks itself as witty but is in fact filled with over the top performances, cardboard characterizations and some flatline humour. Although sexual confusion that causes misunderstanding between three men is the gist of the matter, unfortunately at its heart is Gwen, the mean spirited, unreasonably vicious and vacuous friend, that becomes the film's burden and, I hate to say it, an act that's hard to swallow. Here, as portrayed by Emily Stiles, she outdoes the drama queens as played by the three male leads.
Sure it has some cringe-worthy moments, plenty of absurdist humour, and I wanted the plot to turn out completely opposite to how it unfolded, but it's a good gay movie. http://gtvlondon.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/movie-review-eating-out-2004.html
Although it is unfortunate for its eccentric cast of characters, Eating Out has two left feet while balancing on a tight rope between camp and romance, which was destined to either fall or snap itself on the rope, eventually.
Don't believe the rotten reviews, they're just looking for too much out of a film. It may not be the best film, but it is a cheesy comical film that had me laughing right the way through with it's stereotypical gay jokes and bitchy characters.
Typical and yea it had it's moments, but it wasn't enough to make it an actual outstanding gay flick!
