Better the Second Time October 28, 2008
Jeff Fuhrman (IN)
A friend introduced me to the first Eating Out film a few years ago and I embraced it, although not as much as he did. I liked the film, but it wasn't up to par even by independent-gay-comedy standards. I enjoyed it enough, but when I saw that there was a sequel available I was pretty sure it was just cashing in on the first film's success and would be even worse. By my calculations, this would should have been a terrible film. br / br /I won't go into total detail with the plot, although it is as crazy as the first film. Kyle and Marc are breaking up. New guy Troy (a nude model for Kyle's art class) isn't sure what orientation he is. Returning from the first film, Tiffani and Gwen convince Kyle he should pretend to be an ex-gay to get Marc in the sack. He goes along with the plot, no matter how unsure, and hilarity ensues. What is better here, though, is the filmmakers have a better hold on what is happening on-screen. br / br /I was completely surprised that almost immediately I started cracking up. This is the Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, or Godfather 2 of gay comedies. The script is better, the acting is more confident and assured (although you can tell Marco Dapper as Troy is a newcomer), and the direction moves the story along so well that I was never thinking it should have been more or less. The replacement of Ryan Carnes (no matter how hot he is) as Marc is a smart one. The new Marc, played by Brett Chukerman, is better even though I resisted it at first. Over the course of the movie his charm came through. Honestly, the sequel could be a stand alone film as you don't necessarily need to know the happenings of the first film to get into this one, but it does help. br / br / br /It may not have been a blockbuster, or the best next hit indie film, or the even the next big gay film. But those of us who seek out smart and hilarious entertainment for our homo film collections should pick this one up, no matter your feelings about the original. I loved it from start to finish. It made the first film seem like our own first time: Uncomfortable, embarassing, and unsure. The second time around we know what we're doing. The film is no different.
 Yum! (spoiler alert! don't read if you don't want to know the end) September 2, 2008

I really enjoyed this movie for so many reasons. The male characters were delicious, and the nude scenes were well worth the price of admission. The females were hilarious, and the teacher? Well, too funny for words, and soooo typical. I found it a fun frolic and fully lived up to its reviews. Great fun to watch again and again. Only complaint was the last bit. Come on, Troy was so gay! Give me a break.
Very amusing gay film August 27, 2008

I really did not like the first Eating Out movie at all. I thought the acting was terrible and the movie just poorly made. But Eating Out 2 is a breath of fresh air and just the type of gay film we need. It is not a message film - not a serious coming out film or a serious aids film. Instead it is a well acted hilarious, fun-filled joy ride. br / br /The characters are all so likable and the plot very fun and amusing. Cute guys, sexy scenes - what more can one look for? The film manages to be very pro gay, pro monogamy and pro sexual expression. br / br /I highly recommend this film for any gay person or open minded person just looking for a fun film that will provide lots of healthy laughs.
Even more satisfying the second time around May 6, 2008

Touted as "the first American gay sequel", "Sloppy Seconds" achieves the rare trick of sequels---it surpasses the original. Don't get me wrong; the first was enjoyable, yet it didn't quite meet its potential. Their were flaws in the writing, acting directing. br /"Sloppy Seconds" seems to be a more fully realized production, bringing back the characters Kyle, Gwen Tiffany in starring status. Blonde hunk Ryan Cairnes is absent this time around, with the role of Marc filled by a brunette hunk and capable actor named Brett Chukerman. The object of desire this time is an unbelievably gorgeous stud named Troy, who is modeling nude for a life drawing class. Marco Dapper is quite the find, beautiful to look at from head to toe. It's discovered that Troy is sexually ambiguous as he confesses his attractions for both sexes. Upon hearing this, the game's afoot as Kyle (the adorable Jim Verraros) Tiffany strive to bed the stud. Complicating matters is Kyle's estranged boyfriend Marc, who plans his own strategy to bag Troy---by being his gay self. As in the first film, Gwen manipulates Troy into a steamy photo session with Marc, with interesting results. br /Being a modern screwball comedy like the first film, things spiral out of control as each party screws things up big time with Troy as he discovers their duplicity. Add to this a hilarious subplot about an "ex-gay" therapy group on campus (in which poor Kyle masquerades as a "reformed" guy dating Tiffany *?!?* as part of the plan to get Troy) and "Sloppy Seconds" comes off as a hysterically funny "Friends" episode. br /Helmed by a different director this time (with Allan Q. Brocka staying on as producer), "Sloppy Seconds" looks more confident in execution. Deftly directed, with good performances and even sharper dialogue, "Sloppy Seconds" is a feast for the ears as well as the eyes (although the yummy guys in this one can't be beat!). br /And c'mon, guys--a third movie would be great! (Wink wink, nudge nudge!)
Great Movie! February 23, 2008

I own both Eating Out movies and I loved this one the best. The first one is very sexually charged but this one is both sexy and funny. It's not often that I enjoy a sequel better than the original. My advice, Buy This Movie!
