One of the other posters here refers to "harsh and unsubstantiated" reviews - how right you are. I'm not sure what people were expecting from a film called Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds, but I found the whole thing delightful from start to finish.There is ample eye candy in the shape of Marco Dapper and Brett Chukerman. (Although Ryan Carnes is sorely missed. The boy is a subtle and sensitive actor trapped in the body of an Abercrombie & Fitch model.) Yes, there is a totally unbelievable plot, but this is a farce, after all. Rebekah Kochan seems to be channeling Jennifer Coolidge, and I mean that as a huge compliment, and kept me laughing all the way through the film's brisk and breezy ninety minutes.Great fun.

The previous poster had a real disdain for this movie because it was superficial and insulting and not considered 'art'. He then goes on to insult the director and the writer and that's when I stopped reading. The intent of movies like Eating Out and this superior sequel is to entertain and tittilate. It's not even considered a 'no-brainer' because there is actually a lot of wit packed into the screenplay. Why on earth would someone expect anything less from a film title 'Eating Out' in the first place? Give me a break! This movie is sexy, funny, offensive and silly. Exactly what what we should expect. What we SHOULDN'T expect is the wonderful comedic performances from the cast especially from Rebekah Kochan as sex pot Tiffani and American Idol castoff Jim Verraros (who is way too cute to be playing the 'average' guy). The only thing that saved this film from getting a perfect score from me was the running time was much too short, perhaps when they release the DVD they could give us a director's cut of more Tiffani and more gratuitous nudity by the terrific looking Marco Dapper and Brett Chuckerman!

Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds.You have to hand it to writer/director Philip J. Bartel, the Uwe Boll of the gay niche market, for giving critics such easy ammunition in the title. This wanna be raucous sex comedy is sloppy all right - the screenplay contains dialogue that made me wince, the actors are unbelievably bad (poor Mink Stole, is she aware that she's being used in such a nefarious way? John Waters loved his subversive characters, Bartell only loves the idea of debasing them), well, I could go on with the poor quality of the tech credits but the people who lack self-respect and want to see claptrap like this won't be dissuaded by any criticism. I can only urge anyone reading this to do yourself a favor and rent a porn instead. trust me, you'll have more dignity afterward.

Although the title references a meal, Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds leaves the viewer starved for something resembling entertainment. Phillip J. Bartell -- remember the name. This hack has written and directed (for want of a better term) possibly the year's worst film. It even makes Open Cam and Sideline Secrets seem like masterpieces. There is not one funny scene in this film, not ONE. He directs the cast to recite their lines exactly the way they did at the table read.The insultingly banal plot follows Kyle (poorly acted by American Idol's Jim Verraros) who gets dumped and then is turned on by a nude male model in his art class, who claims to be straight. Kyle's pals Gwen (Emily Brooke Hands, surely the shrillest actress on the planet) and Tiffani (Rebekah Kochan) aim to find out so Kyle takes him to a "going straight" session. Ugh! Why can't gay filmmakers and producers write films that don't insult us? Why are the quality gay-themed films all made by straight writers and directors? This is 2006 and saddens me.Quite accurately the title points out this is a sloppy film. Do yourself a favor and skip this cinematic meal.
