El novio ideal

I was in the audience for Eating Out (Part One) at the LGBT Frameline film festival and, frankly, would have walked out if I hadn't been trapped in the middle of the row. That having been said, I really enjoyed this sequel to a sequel of a sequel. The downside is that either the acting is still facile and sophomoric (the fatal flaw in the earlier film) or the direction was lacking. The upside is that the snappy one-liners are now really zingy one-liners, which may indicate that the problem was with the direction and not the cast. Confessionally, the nudity was a huge(okay, pun intended) plus. Michael E.R. Walker, in a supporting role,does double duty. If you want a deep,thought-provoking film that probes the gay psyche, this is not your film. If you would like to laugh (a lot) and, yes, be titillated, you won't go wrong.

Young, cute, thin and gay Casey (Daniel Skelton) lusts after hunky Zack (Chris Salvatore). With the help of friend Tiffani (Rebekah Kochan) he makes a profile online and uses the pics of her str8 stripper ex-boyfriend Ryan (Michael E.R. Walker) to lure Zach. Zach falls for "Ryan"...but the REAL Ryan show up.

The plot is completely predictable and the events like this would never happen in real life. Also most of the comedy falls flat. But, I liked this! It's quick (only 80 minutes including the credits), it has a friendly "feel" to it and the cast is rearing to go. Kochan has been in all three of these "Eating Out" movies and she's fun...if a little over the top. Skelton isn't TOO nerdy as Casey (I mean that in a good way). Salvatore is incredibly handsome. He's not all pumped up but he's so good-looking you won't notice! His acting is just OK. Walker IS all pumped up and incredibly good-looking as Ryan...but his acting seems a little unsure. Also there's impressive full frontals of Salvatore AND Walker! So it isn't good but I liked it. I give it an 8.

This movie is a hilarious soft core porn romp and Rebekah is a hoot. She's incapable of deadpan anything and always has the tiniest little smirk on her face. Chris Salvatore is probably one of the most gorgeous specimens of men, gay or straight, I've ever seen. He is so extraordinarily universally handsome that it should be a crime. The eating out series is well done with good production values and better than mediocre acting. We need more fun in gay themed movies like this rather than the BS dramas with all the tragedy everyone believes typifies the gay experience. Ok. So they believe This one does too. Who cares?

This film is about a shy man who meets the man of his dreams. Yet he is too shy and fears rejection for the person he is, hence he comes up with a plan with unexpected results.

"Eating Out All You Can Eat" is very entertaining! The story is positive, though there are many clichés but they are not overdone. Acting is good, especially by Rebekah Kochan who plays the character Tiffani. The jokes are funny without being rude, which is refreshing. I find the ending very heartwarming and touching, as a very pleasing ending is seen. There is an extra scene at the end after the credits, make sure you stay behind for it!

I love these series of flicks, very good for lonely nights or with partner when feeling frisky ;)
