Eating Out

eating outI’ve thrown a bunch of gay-themed titles in my Netflix queue, and this one was among the first I wanted to see.  Fortunately, Eating Out, while not memorable, is funny and entertaining.  And full of hot guys.

The story isn’t terribly original and it certainly borrows heavily from the sexual fantasies of any average gay man who’s ever had a fling for a straight friend, but it holds its own.

By the end of the movie, you feel  satisfied and grateful that the campiness was tasteful and not overwhelming, that the acting was decent, and that you’re actually smiling.

You can’t say all those things of too many comedies out there nowadays.

This might actually be a good movie to watch even for straight guys who are open-minded and aren’t afraid to peer into what might go on into the minds of gay men.

Grade: 6
