Very well executed

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I could sum up this movie in just a few words: awkward, plot-less, and cliché.Do yourself a favor and don't waste an hour and a half of your life watching this movie. That is, unless you enjoy straight men awkwardly pretending to be gay to win the hearts girls who unrealistically flirt with them despite the fact that the men have declared their complete gayness. This movie was a complete mess.I seriously had no idea where the plot (if it can so be called) was taking me throughout the entire movie. By the end, I was just horribly annoyed.The only remotely entertaining part of this movie was the main guy's ex-girlfriend, who is the only character who actually has a believable personality. She actually made me lol a few times toward the end.Other than that, I seriously hate this movie with a passion. If you want to see a good gay move, rent Trick, Latter Days, or Boy Culture.

Some writers are trying so hard to create good gay drama or for that matter good gay comedies...they simply don't understand that there is a fine line between gay comedies and gay drama...most gay movies nowadays have nothing to do with real life...very few actually get a point across and deal more with real life... Eating Out is a terrible movie...the acting is pretty bad, the actors have no chemistry and all the performances seem forced and just out of sync...the plot is all over the place and is one of those movies that make the overused, ridiculous and dumb assumption that "anyone can go gay." Crap like "Eating Out" should be banned...movies like this create an illusive yet really ridiculous scenarios that anyone and everyone can be gay for the sake of entertainment or whatever in the movie...And It Doesn't Work...this movie goes down the line with "Eating Out" "Prom Queen" and "Touch of Pink" and "testosterone"---as all really Bad gay movies...i know there's tons of good and bad str8 movies...but considering that movies with gay themes have less opportunities to go mainstream and on the big screen...at least writers should make an effort to make them better than the rest so they can stand out and More people can see them and not just gay people....oh and that other movie "Ski trip" about the black gay guys who well go on a ski trip...which they keep showing on logo channel...is a horrible movie (they were just begging for laughs in this movie...the flamboyant guys didn't look gay at all and in one part some guy is eating his buggers...out of nowhere..so tasteless and stupid!) I just saw "Brother to Brother" and "The Mudge Boy" (although this one wasn't so much about being gay)...as well as "Brokeback mountain" which were all great awesomely gay movies...they were real and easy to relate to! with all this talk about gay issues i think films with gay themes owe it to themselves to make their films both plausible, entertaining and ways to relate to a wide spectrum of people...Sex is a wonderful thing with the opposite or same sex...but i am really tired of the gratuitous sex scenes in some of these gay movies...they are absurd and dumb...once again watching "eating out" made me wanna throw up! Queer as folk was a good series overall...but it was just too much gratuitous and senseless sex...it made it extremely difficult for me to watch as a gay man..can u imagine a str8 person? there was no reason for that whatsoever...and the fact that they had like 5 seasons and there wasn't a single minority in the show with actual drama was just Appalling...considering that gay minorities in America deal with double the problems! that one show "Noah's arc" in Logo was awful too...just really really bad!

Contrary to the other posting this is actually a great flick with some great music by Jim Verraros (and no I can't stand American Idol!). It was witty and succinct.It's that type of movie which is supposed to make us giggle, smirk and smile as Gay men as the reality of many of the witticisms and the underlying truths that it presents.If you are looking for dissertation on the way gay men think or a self help analysis, well, this isn't the movie for you. It's intended to get you to relax, enjoy and smile at the absurdity of what goes along with being who you are; GAY!

I have a hard time understanding why gay male moviegoers would react so harshly to this film.My partner & I first saw "Eating Out" at the NYC LGBT Film Festival two years ago. We immediately watched it again with a friend who enjoyed it as much as we did. A year ago, we saw the movie during its commercial run with a group of 6 gay men, all of whom enjoyed it AND then we bought the video once it was released. Finally, we showed "Eating Out" to a close friend just this afternoon & he shared our delight with the movie.Anyone willing to overlook intermittently schlocky writing and awkward acting will find the story so sweet, the jokes so funny, the cast so appealing & sexy, the bodies so muscular & good looking, & one extended sex scene so erotic as to justify the time & money commitment. The full frontal nudity involving the two male leads is icing on the cake.Watch the movie & let your only intention be a desire to be entertained. Don't compare it to "The Citizen Kane". Let your inner gay child enjoy! Hopefully, you'll feel the way we do about "Eating Out".
