From my favorite movies..

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This film is about a shy man who meets the man of his dreams. Yet he is too shy and fears rejection for the person he is, hence he comes up with a plan with unexpected results."Eating Out All You Can Eat" is very entertaining! The story is positive, though there are many clichés but they are not overdone. Acting is good, especially by Rebekah Kochan who plays the character Tiffani. The jokes are funny without being rude, which is refreshing. I find the ending very heartwarming and touching, as a very pleasing ending is seen. There is an extra scene at the end after the credits, make sure you stay behind for it!

I was in the audience for Eating Out (Part One) at the LGBT Frameline film festival and, frankly, would have walked out if I hadn't been trapped in the middle of the row. That having been said, I really enjoyed this sequel to a sequel of a sequel. The downside is that either the acting is still facile and sophomoric (the fatal flaw in the earlier film) or the direction was lacking. The upside is that the snappy one-liners are now really zingy one-liners, which may indicate that the problem was with the direction and not the cast. Confessionally, the nudity was a huge(okay, pun intended) plus. Michael E.R. Walker, in a supporting role,does double duty. If you want a deep,thought-provoking film that probes the gay psyche, this is not your film. If you would like to laugh (a lot) and, yes, be titillated, you won't go wrong.

The story was not new at all and the dialogue was not executed perfectly (some jokes could have been funnier if executed better, some of the story more believable...), but this movie has other qualities that redeem it. Ryan (Michael) did quite well in this movie. He shows promise as an actor (and isn't hard on the eyes). Zack (Chris Salvatore) is not only (REALLY) attractive and likable, that's him signing over the credits and he's got some talent. I really hope to see both of them go further. And... without spoiling... the, let's call it "couch" scene is pretty hot.Tiffani gave a good contribution. I feel like Tandy was under-utilized. The lead was a little too... low-key. But likable.As a quality story... this movie does not make it. Predictable and it was not executed well enough. I also hate speeches (not to imply there was one at any point in the movie, that is just a random comment, perhaps). But this wasn't an attempt at art and it was enjoyable.As a place for new talent to emerge... that may be where this movies finds its success. I think the best thing to come out of this movie would be more work for Michael (Ryan) and Chris (Zack).

I was a big fan of the first Eating Out; I thought it was very original and funny. The second one (Sloppy Seconds) was a big disappointment. Well, the third time is a charm. All You Can Eat revives the fresh originality of the first one with pretty much an all new cast and characters and setting. The two main leads are certainly easy on the eyes, which is always helpful, but are surprisingly good. All You Can Eat probably has the biggest budget of the three and definitely the best production quality. Very funny, and very touching at the end. Love all the little hidden gems, like just a sign that reads "Larry Craig LGBT Center", LOL! Give All You Can Eat a shot, you won't be sorry.
