Eating Out: Drama Camp

This film is about Casey and Zack going to a summer drama camp to learn acting. Soon enough, they find out they get a lot more than acting lessons.

"Eating Out: Drama Camp" is a pleasant surprise. I like the plot a lot, as it is full of bubblegum, lighthearted happiness. It is a film to sit back and relax, then enjoy, laugh and have a good time. Apart from the brain off entertainment, there are deeper subplots of self acceptance, courage and the heart to let go when love is gone. It can bring a tear to your eyes among all the laughter. That's the beauty of "Eating Out: Drama Camp", and I really like it. I am already looking forward to the next "Eating Out".

The boys end up at drama camp with a whole bunch of new studs with the sexual hijinks to match. This is even better than the others. Although these aren't great films they're very entertaining. Sometimes intentionally so and sometimes not. This time around relationship lines are pushed and the main continuing couple is challenged. There's of course even more eye candy this time around and despite some truly awful performances its funnier and sexier than the others.

7/10

Ok film snobs, this film doesn't make any pretenses about being Ibsen, O'Neill, or even Kaufman. Take it for what is and enjoy. Chris Salvatore is incredibly easy on the eyes, and there is a solid, warm performance by Tiffany Santana.

Because the only moments that were funny in the slightest were due to Mink Stole doing her Dirty Old Lady shtick. There were a few halfway decent dramatic scenes by Daniel Skelton - who's much improved from the last movie - and Garikayi Mutambirwa as their characters dealt with their respective romantic troubles. However, Chris Salvatore's acting and singing have gotten worse (not helped by his apparent new venture as a Fonzie impersonator) and it's painfully obvious most of the supporting cast were chosen based solely on what they look like with their clothes off.

I appreciate that the script tried to deal with trans issues in a relatively sensitive and informative manner, but Harmony Santana was barely intelligible and seemed to be in a heated competition with Ronnie Kroell for a Razzie award. (Seriously, the actual porn star they cast was a more natural actor than either of those two.)

The downward spiral of this movie series has me wondering if Q Allan Brocka is our generation's Ed Wood.

I think this film is a pretty good follow up to the last 3 Eating out series. This film is a typical gay cheesy guilty pleasure film but trust me these kind of films are also needed in addition to some serious thoughtful cinema. Sometimes asa viewer I don't want to think too much and just want to be entrained. And this film very successfully did that. And not just entertainment, this film has a pretty good helping of eye candy as well which by now you have started to expect from the eating out films.

In this series, the gang heads out for a special thetarical camp headed by experienced Dick Dickey, a weird dude who hasn't had sex for 7 years now. He has one rule hat there will be no sex on the camp for the duration of the camp which in turn only builds up the sexual tenion. Casey and Zack are going through a rough patch in their relationship. The situation worsens when Zack has instant attraction for another camper Benji. Benji initially comes out too strong towards Zack but he pretends to be straight the moment he figures out that Zack has a boyfriend. The duo are signed up for a Shakespeare modern twist on a story where they are supposed to pplay gay lovers. The film focuses on how both casey and Zack have to come to terms with the fact that there relationship is almost over and is time for them to move on. We also have Jason , the straight director who is starting to fall for Lilly, the transgendered girl. Of course, the film ends with everything fit and fine in place, new friendships, relationships made and a hot sexy camp finished.

As said above, the film is an over the top raunchy comedy which tickles your humour cells in the right places. There are so many places where I just burst out laughing. It will be very difficult to put them all here but trust me they were funny. Most actors in the film are supposed to look smoking hot which they do. As far as acting is concerned, they fit well in the realm of this movie but the real test would come if they did something more, outside this to explore their acting abilities. The surprise part of the film was Lilly's character. I am glad that the filmmakers decided to keep this angle as well because not many people have dealt with this subject.

This film is a total guilty pleasure whose aim is just for fun with its many witty one liners.
