At least "Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds" is better than the first movie, which is small praise indeed. It's actually fairly competently made. There are no takes that go on for too long this time, where you expect the actors to look at each other confused, and nor is there an obnoxious soundtrack over every scene, drowning out the actors.
"Eating Out 2" also has one legendary scene that I have never forgotten. It's a CFNM scene where poor Rebekah Kochan (the only actor unfortunate enough to appear in every movie in the franchise) gets up close and personal with the beautiful Marco Dapper's penis.
The movie also limits the amount of homophobia and misogyny that was bizarrely present in the previous flick. Kochan's character, Tiffany von der Sloot, is still mostly just comic relief for her sex drive, but at least Gwen (Emily Styles) isn't the homophobe she was in the previous film.
The movie still does kind of have a problem with homophobia though. It has been praised for showing the so-called "ex-gay movement", ie. Cultists who try to brainwash same-sex attracted people into thinking they're really straight. The director and co-writer Phillip Bartell has said that he thought homophobes' minds might be changed by seeing this "movement" exposed for the sham anybody with half a brain knows it is. But why would they be watching this movie in the first place?
I thought the inclusion of the Christian far-right into a goofy LGBT sex comedy was a little awkward, and detracted from the fun atmosphere the movie cultivates.
