(2009, 80 min)
Country: U.S.
Director: Glenn Gaylord
Studio: Ariztical Entertainment
SYNOPSIS:
Absolutely essential, Eating Out: All You Can Eat is the story of Casey, a naive new arrival in
West Hollywood, and his misadventures trying to score a date with the super-hot Zack. Filled with
disgustingly hysterical jokes, EA3 is a rare breed, it works as both a romance and a sex comedy.
REVIEW:
A raunchy sex comedy or a gay romance, however you see this third entry in the highly successful series,
it's a wonderful film, filled with laughs, hot guys and a beautiful love story. Beside the requisite dirty
jokes, director Glenn Gaylord and writer Phillip J. Bartell developed this story as a love story, a gamble
that paid off big-time.
Sexy temptress/fag hag Tiffani (Rebekah Kochan reprising her role) and her boyishly cute friend Casey
try to lure the buff and sweet Zack with a phony online profile using the image of Tiffani's buff ex, Ryan.
That works fine until the real Ryan shows up and chaos ensues. Only through some fancy footwork, advice
from his Aunt Helen (Mink Stole) and mentor Harry (Leslie Jordan, "Sordid Lives"), and a particularly
photogenic hook-up, can Casey figure out how to set things right and date Zack.
Besides the gay icons in the film, Eating Out: All You Can Eat introduces six openly gay actors
in lead roles including: Daniel Skelton, Chris Salvatore, Michael Walker, John C. Stallings ("The Janice
Dickinson Modelling Agency"), Maximiliano Torandell, and Rick D'Agostino.
Taking inspiration from the classic screwball comedies of the thirties, the writers and directors have
taken the decades-old formula of mistaken identities and turned it on its head and brought the concept
into the twenty-first century. Judging by the ecstatic crowd reaction at the screening we were at,
Eating Out: All You Can Eat is a major hit -- and even better than the second edition.
