Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Such a frustrating disappointment

An action-packed slog

Blistering performances.

Simply enjoy this modern comedy. Really well acted with a screenplay that confronts some modern relationship dilemmas. (viewed 8/16)

It's a really nice comedy/drama about coming out of the closet. The movie follows a four friends group examining their relationships with each other with their families and with lovers.The main character is shown as a shy, timid boy searching for love. This is probably the most wanted thing amongst us. We all try to find the wonderful prince charming - the true love of our lives. Usually it leads to misunderstandings and failures, but trying and failing makes us worth the prize.After a wild night in a gay club the main character and one of his best friends get to an awkward situation. The friendship balances on very tiny rope. Despite all misunderstandings friends stay friends.The most fantastic scene in the move was Adam's mom tells him that he is her son and nothing will change that, she will always love him. It's the most wonderful thing that every gay person would love to hear from their parents.Light and nice comedy guarantees a good time to the viewer.

Few and far between are films that put gay characters in a sharp, naturalistic, authentic light. Its great production values portray the lead Adam in as flattering a way as first impressions can afford. The weaknesses of this film overcome its strengths by a mile. The usage of the line "I'm gay" seemed endless, running through the entirety of the film so that you are beaten over the head with it. The film feels like a rehearsal of the line. The character seems like he is trying to feel what it is to be gay as he repeats the line to himself and to others.We get some insight into how Adam's straight friends feel about it all and some insight into how Adam feels about them. Not much insight into anything else Adam feels besides largely concern for what his friends think. This is too simple.And for good reason. Every last other character including supporting cast falls very flat. At some later point or another a series of hard C- grade walking stereotypes from the 90's show the film for the embarrassing mess that it is. Narcissistic, one-note, crass, obsessive, perverse guys all there in name to date Adam.It is really silly. Take the production values and make something more interesting for everyone involved. A script should not have its apex center around a series of caricature dates between someone who is freshly out and token gay stereotypes.

Director Andrew Nackman crafts a very engaging and moving portrait of a small town bromance as a car mechanic comes out to his unsuspecting friends. Adam (Evan Todd) and childhood friend Chris (Parker Young) are the front and center of this bromance as Chris attempts to reconcile and engage his buddy Adam in helping him find true love. Very comedic dating scenarios turn powerful additives to a story that feeds on the feelings & trepidation of both men as they stumble and awkwardly deal with one another during this trying time of their friendship. Their love is unconditional, sometimes messy, as they don't quite know how to share or communicate their feelings. But this is what makes this bromance so much more charming. On many occasions during the film, you feel the love both men share for each other bursting out of the screen with sometime as little as a look or the withholding of words. The acting is powerful, and stirring causing a yearning and hoping that both Chris & Adam would find each other instead of someone else as Chris helps Adam find an appropriate mate. The other drinking buddies Ortu (Jon Gabrus) and Nick (Chord Overstreet) really try their darndest not to embarrass themselves in an attempt to camouflage their homophobic fears to comic results. Fourth Man Out is a breath of fresh air for a story that has been told many times before in many different languages, however writer Aaron Dancik throws you several curve-balls throughout the film that unhinge a deep seeded desire to see Chris reconcile with Adam on another level as other small town issues surrounding Adam's coming out resolve themselves to a satisfying final act. A beautiful film, splendidly shot with outstanding performances from a very capable cast making Fourth Man Out an unforgettable film.
