Review of Eating Out

Eating Out (I) (2004)
7/10
a piece of fluff, but not that bad

**this may contain spoilers** I wonder if i saw the same movie some of the other reviews did. Granted, this is no Oscar caliber motion picture, it will win no awards. And when you think about it, every major character is dishonest and in some way lying to someone else. But really, taken for what it is: a piece of fluff, its enjoyable. I myself found the phone sex scene well done, and the full frontals were surprising. And the confusion of sexual orientations reminded me somewhat of some English farces I've seen on the stage.

The actors are all cute, some more built and defined, some twinks. The acting, well it is lacking sometimes. And there are plot holes large enough to drive a Mack Truck through.

But seriously, despite all this, I'll recommend the movie, just as a bit of fun. Not every movie has to be an in-depth character study. I saw this with another gay man and a straight woman, all of us with divergent tastes in movies, and we did all enjoy it. The worst movie ever made...nah, not even close.

So if you go see it, don't expect a cerebral thought provoking movie. Just go for the fun, the silliness and the cute guys, and you'll probably enjoy it as well.
