Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

witheredmind 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.

xxray_77 Eating Out is a very good looking film with sexy guys who look great on camera. They also turn in very credible performances. The females in the cast did a very good job also. This film is one of the best low budget films I've seen. They hide the fact that it is low budget very well. It's amazing what decent lighting and nice camera work can do! After reading some of the horrible reviews I was expecting the worst. I was pleasantly surprised. It's a funny, light, and just a fun tale of boy-wants-girl-who-wants boy-who- wants-boy. Very reminiscent of the teen comedies of the 80's and 90's, but of course with a gay twist. The film had some great memorable one liners and witty observations that kept me smiling throughout the film. Definitely worth a watch!

Colette Corr Eating Out is a warped college sex comedy from up-and-coming indie US director, Q Allan Brocka.Shot in ten days on MD, it's about Caleb, who falls for fag hag Gwen, infamous for turning all her previous boyfriends gay. The way for Caleb to steal her heart? To pretend that he's gay, according to his roomie, Kyle. But the plan backfires when Gwen decides to set Caleb up with her best friend, Marc.The cast includes Scott Lunsford as Caleb, Emily Stiles as Gwen, Ryan Carnes as Marc and Jim Verraros as Kyle. Rebekah Kochan has a memorable cameo as Caleb's kinky bonk-buddy Tiffani.Eating Out is light, pacey and funny, although it's obviously been made on a shoestring budget. In addition, the actors never transcend caricature to behave like real people. In one scene Caleb and Marc get it on, with Caleb only able to do so while Gwen whispers phone sex talk in his ear. It's clear that Marc's being used here, but he barely even notices.If that doesn't faze you, you'll probably enjoy Eating Out, which screens as part of the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, running from March 11-21.

wadeboi If you're looking for trite gay cinema stereotypes like drag queens, karaoke singing elder queens, disco dancing circuit boys and everyone dying of AIDS, you're going to be extremely disappointed because "Eating Out" is just a delightful gay date film, reminiscent of screwball comedies like the Doris Day-Rock Hudson classics. Some have complained this is an "odd" film. Indeed it is, and thank God for that. The "Godfather" is an odd film. So is "Citizen Kane," for that matter. The characters are well drawn and all genuinely likable in their own quirky ways. Yes, it's a low-budget indie with the usual production quality compromises and it could have used a script polish, but its rough edges are appealing in their own way – like the gritty, raw feel of a reality TV show. The actors give their all. The direction is perfectly understated and never distracts from the story. The ending, while perfectly logical, could have been foreshadowed a bit better and we never really buy into the notion that Kyle is an unattractive, C-list boyfriend prospect for Marc. Perhaps he's not as buffed as Caleb, but he's far from unattractive and he has a much more delightful personality. My only major complaint with "Eating Out" is that we didn't spend more time with Kyle's (Jim Verraros) character. (Pop singer Verraros also provides music on the soundtrack).
