That was an excellent one.

hyped garbage

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

After reading all of the bad reviews I was sure this movie was going to be horrible. I have to say I was quite surprised.The movie was much better than I expected. I mean, sure there were some moments of bad acting, but really: this is a date movie and it succeeds as such.Marc does a great job as a sensitive, but very sexual guy. He does a great job playing his role without being a characture.My only major complaint is about Caleb. He does a good job of being the "bungling" straight guy, but he was a little too "hard to get" when it comes to the girl he wants.

This is a truly remarkable, very funny & yet sensitive movie. Ryan Carnes (Marc) and Scott Lunsford (Caleb) gave the best performance among the cast. Both were so natural on their acting abilities that it didn't surprise me when I heard that this movie won multiple awards.Scott Lunsford created a perfect fit for this character "Caleb" as a reluctant straight guy pretending to be gay so that he can bed down this girl named Gwen(played by Emily Stiles) that he likes who happened to be the best friend and roommate of Marc (Ryan Carnes) who's gay and attracted to Caleb. It's a perfect love triangle so to speak.Emily Stiles did a very good job too playing the role of a fag hug who speaks her mind. The only disappointment to this movie was the acting of Jim Verraros who played the role of Kyle. He may be a good singer but his acting ability apparently shows that he's quite an amateur.Nonetheless, the movie was directed really well. It's truly remarkable that they cast 2 lead actors such as Lunsford and Carnes who are not just good actors but very good looking too. Carnes' acting was worth an academy award while Lunsford's stunning good looks, perfect body shape and dazzling, seductive eyes are total turn ON!!!

As I have spent time catching up on gay films lately --- I found "Eating Out" to be a fresh nice piece of fun gay film- gentle and easy. Fun to watch. I found it thoughtful and insightful to the realities that gay men face and approachable enough my straight friends enjoyed it - . Eating Out represents a sweet nice refreshing drink of water filmed in the hot Tucson sun. The writers use of contemporary gay slang, and situations makes you wonder what will be around the next corner. The characters represent folks you know in your every day life and the situations a cross between reality and Queer As Folk - are believable and yet funny-the cast is well mated and plays well off each other and is damned cute too!- when I compare it to other 2004/2005 releases I have found it more enjoyable than certain mainstream gay releases and certainly way less depressing.

Some other person posted this is the worst gay film since "All over they guy," which struck me as a very bad point since "All over the guy" is well received and amongst netflix top rented 20 gay & lesbian film charts, and has remained a top rented for over 2 years. Yes, "Eating Out" is very amateur. Yes, it is a no budgeter, silly plot, and some of it is badly edited. But, ya know what? I enjoyed every minute of it. Part of the reason is I really love Ryan Carnes. I have liked him ever since he appeared on "Desperate Housewives." Ryan is a natural actor and physically a major turn on for me. And there were quite a few funny site gags as well. No, there is no message in this film, there is nothing very realistic in terms of how us gay dudes live, and the entire plot was beyond silly. But among all the low low budget straight to video gay themed comedies flooding the DVD market, this is one I really enjoyed. Yup,many will not agree, but I don't really care. To each their own, right? I liked "eating out."
