Martynas Vanagas It's a really nice comedy/drama about coming out of the closet. The movie follows a four friends group examining their relationships with each other with their families and with lovers.The main character is shown as a shy, timid boy searching for love. This is probably the most wanted thing amongst us. We all try to find the wonderful prince charming - the true love of our lives. Usually it leads to misunderstandings and failures, but trying and failing makes us worth the prize.After a wild night in a gay club the main character and one of his best friends get to an awkward situation. The friendship balances on very tiny rope. Despite all misunderstandings friends stay friends.The most fantastic scene in the move was Adam's mom tells him that he is her son and nothing will change that, she will always love him. It's the most wonderful thing that every gay person would love to hear from their parents.Light and nice comedy guarantees a good time to the viewer.

ozjosh03 There's a richly promising premise here that, amazingly, few other coming out films have tackled: how do you come out without losing your best buddies, especially if they're regular working-class, beer-drinking, pussy-chasing guys. Unfortunately, Fourth Man Out doesn't manage to negotiate the territory without resorting to the most annoying and lazy stereotypes. So just about every other gay man that our hero Adam meets is a snippy queen. And the only one that's not a snippy queen is a lying, cheating, sleazy douche-gag. Okay, this is a comedy, but seriously... does the core audience for this kind of film really find the pretentious fairy that amusing? The chorus of straight best friends are no less stereotypical, but somewhat better drawn, and the humour less forced. Still, Fourth Man Out never quite lives up to its early promise, and the definitive film about how best buddies survive one of them coming out is still to be written.

jaroslaw99 (Spoilers) This a story about a guy portrayed as very "normal" who at 24 y/o tells his lifelong buddies he is Gay. Well, he starts with his best friend.There were a number of things here that were very good - his friends were generally supportive, the dialogue was mostly realistic, the picture quality, scenery and filming was well done. Three of the four main characters were very good looking, in shape, fairly well muscled. The story was entertaining and there were several pretty good comical situations. I really liked the part where his best friend is acting funny upon hearing the news and the lead says "I'm still the same guy." I applaud the inclusion of common sense, which we need more of.However, this is supposed to be present day - it is hard to imagine that his friends, sister, or parents did not have the slightest inkling he wasn't straight after knowing him all his life. There were a number of places where I wasn't sure what message was being given by the film or was it just poor attempts at humor? For example, the lead's first date was with an unattractive man who misrepresented his online dating photo. When the lead isn't interested, the date asks the lead character if he is shallow, only wanting someone good looking. Uh, no, the date is obnoxious and quirky as well. This date pops up a couple more times and far too much time is wasted on him, again poor attempts at humor. But later when the lead (finally) meets someone presumably not loaded with personal issues, they talk for about 15 seconds and the movie is over.I didn't understand why the lead, when explaining he was Gay and his parents didn't seem to get it, he had to put something in his mouth and simulate oral sex. "that kind of Gay" he explains. (????) I found the mother's instant acceptance strange, the only thing she was "upset" about was they missed out on sharing his "real" life. Really? How could our lead have completely missed that his parents have been totally accepting/non-judgemental for his entire 24 years? I suppose its possible.It was funny enough and the guys were plenty good looking that I'll probably watch it again. But as others have said, the stereotypes just won't go away.

George Moujaes Few and far between are films that put gay characters in a sharp, naturalistic, authentic light. Its great production values portray the lead Adam in as flattering a way as first impressions can afford. The weaknesses of this film overcome its strengths by a mile. The usage of the line "I'm gay" seemed endless, running through the entirety of the film so that you are beaten over the head with it. The film feels like a rehearsal of the line. The character seems like he is trying to feel what it is to be gay as he repeats the line to himself and to others.We get some insight into how Adam's straight friends feel about it all and some insight into how Adam feels about them. Not much insight into anything else Adam feels besides largely concern for what his friends think. This is too simple.And for good reason. Every last other character including supporting cast falls very flat. At some later point or another a series of hard C- grade walking stereotypes from the 90's show the film for the embarrassing mess that it is. Narcissistic, one-note, crass, obsessive, perverse guys all there in name to date Adam.It is really silly. Take the production values and make something more interesting for everyone involved. A script should not have its apex center around a series of caricature dates between someone who is freshly out and token gay stereotypes.
