nolirizali-1 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!!!

drflox99204 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.

John Seger 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."

anibal_pazos I got this movie yesterday, after read several comments of this movie being really bad. I am a art and film student, just began to shot my short 15 minutes film and nervous about the final result. I can certainly hope it won't be as bad as this movie is ! I know sometimes in comedy you can't create a really close connection between the actors. However this movie took me to another level... Even in a comedy type of movie, anyone could think that a straight guy recently been blown by a gay guy, and kissed his flatmate and tells him that "If he was gay a little" he would be his boyfriend, could question his sexuality a bit, don't you think? I found this movie very hard to digest, from every point of view you wanna see it. No much to see of Caleb(Scott Lunsford)questioning his sexuality, or even face the fact that he might as well being a bit confuse after all. If there is anything worth in this movie, it has to be the scene where Caleb and Marc(Ryan Carnes) going for a barbecue together at Marc's friends. I was looking forward to see the connection growing between these two guys, and just when you think they are getting there, they decided to get a video together. Then we are taken to another level here when the phones ring and is Caleb's flatmate (Jim Verranos) who can't honestly act (sorry to say this, sounds like a nice guy though) and the very hard to take Gwen, Marc's flatmate. I found her character very annoying to point I couldn't feel any sympathy for her character at the end. The end, I can't began to describe how bad it is. Honestly Gwen and Kyle, deserve one other. I feel sorry for Marc, as he is portrait as the "uncommited gay guy". However we could see that in fact Caleb feels a bit for him after the party they got together and the scene in the video store where Caleb confessed to Marc 'You are just awesome in the piano"....Certainly this is something that if I was directing the movie I would like to explore more. Let's these two guys end together, correct me if I am wrong, but I got the impression that if Caleb didn't move any faster to Marc, was not only because he confessed to be straight, it was because he felt he was betraying his roommate and flatmate Kyle. Very disappointing film it was for me, the end was abrupt and confusing, the acting was at times over the top, specially by Emily Stiles and Jim Verraros, but the scene where Caleb's parents came for dinner is out question one of the worst...!
