Comendo Pelas Bordas 3: Comendo de Tudo

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.

The first thing that strikes you about Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat is the cast. It's the hottest assembly of twinks and flawless beefcake in cinema history! Yes, they tend to overact, and use sarcasm in place of witty dialogue, but the players are so likable that you tend to overlook minor flaws, and you're swept along with the erotic story.

The inconsequential storyline is virtually irrelevant. Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat is nothing but eye candy, beautiful moving male images to enjoy. Productions values are excellent, editing is sharp, there is no dead space and no wasted time. EO3: AYCE rewards you for your continued viewing.

Blond, slim, boyish, hairless body Daniel Skelton as Casey is the very personification of the term twink. Chris Salvatore as Zack, with his heavy five o'clock shadow and deep-set, deep-blue eyes, is the prototype of young beefcake. Not daddy material quite yet, but someday he'll make a superb transition to the next stage of gay male stereotypes. Frequent Divine costar (Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble) Mink Stole makes a welcome appearance as Aunt Helen.

Who needs Viagra? When you're in the mood for mindless sensual visual stimulation, watch Eating Out 3: 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).

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?

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.
