Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds

This movie really pleasantly surprised me. I expected that its sole redeeming feature would be the eye candy, as was the case with the original. But it was well written, capably directed, and Verraros, Hand, and Kochan gave good, hysterically funny performances. I wouldn't have guessed the latter two had any talent based on Eating Out, but it seems that was all Q. Allan Brocka's doing rather than the fault of the actresses. Working with Bartell's words and direction they're a delight to watch. Brett Chuckerman isn't quite as charismatic as Ryan Carnes was in the same role, but he does a good job. And Marco Dapper... is very, very good looking. (Hey, just because it turned out to be a good movie doesn't mean they forgot the eye candy...)

I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a funny, sexy movie to spend some time with.

This film is about an attractive but sexually confused new guy in town, who is pursued separately by an ex-gay couple using vastly different methods.

"Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds" is a lot of fun. It uses a light hearted approach to go about the topic. I like the script, it is entertaining, fun and radiates positivity. It even hits back at homophobia with style. Characters are clichéd but very likable, providing the cheesy and at times visually stimulating entertainment. Production is above average given the low budget, which is not very usual for a gay film. It's a delightful and fun film to watch, if you want a laugh.

Lovers Kyle and Marc have a silly lover's quarrel and each go their separate ways. By chance both come upon superhot male model Troy and each is looking to nail him.

For Kyle, he's even willing to go so far as to pretend to join an ex-gay campus group headed by Jacob. Troy's kind of unsure about his own sexuality. He seems one obliging dude, willing to share sex with just about anyone.

This leads to a whole lot of trouble all around, but in the end all the boys and girls in the film seem to be nicely paired off. I do so love happy endings.

There are lots of laughs in this film, but it actually takes a look at a very serious topic, the preying on impressionable kids just starting to find out about their sexuality by some very uptight people. There's a whole lot of new thinking about human sexuality over the past century and a half, but don't try and tell the fundamentalists anything in that regard.

Best performance in the film is Scott Vickaryous as the ex-gay leader of the campus group. The unveiling of the inner Jacob is something to behold, as is the disrobing of Marco Dapper as Troy.

Worth the price of admission alone.

A gay man and his two girl friends hatch a plan to discover a sexy male model's orientation. Kyle the male member of the trio takes the model to a seminar about "going straight" and hijinks ensue. This is a bit more entertaining than the first and like that one it's funny and sexy with a bunch of eye candy. Although it's all quite predictable its more than amusing and is another somewhat successful entry in the growing queer sex comedy franchise.

6.5/10

One of the other posters here refers to "harsh and unsubstantiated" reviews - how right you are. I'm not sure what people were expecting from a film called Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds, but I found the whole thing delightful from start to finish.

There is ample eye candy in the shape of Marco Dapper and Brett Chukerman. (Although Ryan Carnes is sorely missed. The boy is a subtle and sensitive actor trapped in the body of an Abercrombie & Fitch model.) Yes, there is a totally unbelievable plot, but this is a farce, after all. Rebekah Kochan seems to be channeling Jennifer Coolidge, and I mean that as a huge compliment, and kept me laughing all the way through the film's brisk and breezy ninety minutes.

Great fun.
