Eating Out: All You Can Eat

The story was not new at all and the dialogue was not executed perfectly (some jokes could have been funnier if executed better, some of the story more believable...), but this movie has other qualities that redeem it. Ryan (Michael) did quite well in this movie. He shows promise as an actor (and isn't hard on the eyes). Zack (Chris Salvatore) is not only (REALLY) attractive and likable, that's him signing over the credits and he's got some talent. I really hope to see both of them go further. And... without spoiling... the, let's call it "couch" scene is pretty hot.

Tiffani gave a good contribution. I feel like Tandy was under-utilized. The lead was a little too... low-key. But likable.

As a quality story... this movie does not make it. Predictable and it was not executed well enough. I also hate speeches (not to imply there was one at any point in the movie, that is just a random comment, perhaps). But this wasn't an attempt at art and it was enjoyable.

As a place for new talent to emerge... that may be where this movies finds its success. I think the best thing to come out of this movie would be more work for Michael (Ryan) and Chris (Zack).

I was a big fan of the first Eating Out; I thought it was very original and funny. The second one (Sloppy Seconds) was a big disappointment. Well, the third time is a charm. All You Can Eat revives the fresh originality of the first one with pretty much an all new cast and characters and setting. The two main leads are certainly easy on the eyes, which is always helpful, but are surprisingly good. All You Can Eat probably has the biggest budget of the three and definitely the best production quality. Very funny, and very touching at the end. Love all the little hidden gems, like just a sign that reads "Larry Craig LGBT Center", LOL! Give All You Can Eat a shot, you won't be sorry.

For the third course, All You Can Eat, I feel like I finally got what I was craving the entire time... except, if I had it my way, I'd have gone back for 3 or 4 more helpings of this masterpiece.

This, the third franchise entry, is missing every single flaw that was in its predecessors. Switching things up and choosing to follow a different storyline with (for the most part) new characters was a genius decision, and they handled it really well, managing to provide an entirely new story without harming the continuity of the franchise entries before it.

This film is actually, genuinely funny and the acting, while campy in parts, feels like it is the way it is as a result of deliberate choice rather than poor writing or bad acting. Everything about this film, from start to finish, was fun, sexy and even heartfelt. It pulls off everything the first 2 wanted to accomplish but just didn't seem to quite hit the mark on.

Shout out to Rebekah Kochan as Tiffani von der Sloot, who provides one of the most entertaining opening scenes I've seen in a movie in quite some time; Mink Stole for being herself and bringing her trademark charm to yet another gay movie (her screen time is criminally minimal but she doesn't disappoint when she's on screen) and Daniel Skelton, the gorgeously delicious eye-candy and talent behind the whole thing. Skelton's Casey was the first sympathetic character in this franchise for me, the very first one I cared about. I don't know if any other actor could've brought exactly what was needed to the table, but he didn't disappoint.

This film is responsible for renewing my excitement and anticipation for the forthcoming entries.

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.

A woman helps a gay friend find love with his crush on a dating website by posting his profile with a pic of her hot ex. But problems arise when her ex arrives and they have to keep the charade up. Although it's really more of the same this is the best entry yet. The two leads have good chemistry, although all of the performances leave something to be desired. There's lots more eye candy this time around and the movies even more raunchy. Hunky Chris Salvatore is a welcome edition and underneath all the whoriness is a heart.
