OMG!! Is He Actually Reviewing Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds?

Eating Out was a pleasant little diversion with some excellent eye candy, warmth, a little humor and that gay guy from American Idol, Jim Verraros. Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds is also a pleasant little diversion with some excellent eye candy, more warmth, a little more humor and that gay guy from....

The film definitely has its appeal. The acting is mostly subpar, but Q. Allan Brocka and Phillip Bartel have put something together that is pleasantly engaging. Marc, played in the first film by Ryan Carnes is now played by Brett Chukerman. So, it did take me a good half hour to realize he was playing the same character. The nudity is just as plentiful, too.

Don't get me wrong. This is not a great film. But everyone I watched it with found it charming. Of course, any film with Mink Stole has to have some redeeming value. Brocka and Bartel are making a targeted film for a very specific audience and it more than succeeds. The in-jokes are mostly funny and the stereotypes are mostly turned on their heads.
