Rotten Tomatoes
Gay man falls for straight man who is pretending to be gay man to win
the heart of straight girl in this raunchy and offbeat romantic comedy.
Attractive but bitchy college student Gwen (Emily Stiles) shares an
apartment with her friend Marc (Ryan Carnes), a gay man with a
hyperactive social life. Keeping track of Marc's lovers has given Gwen a
taste for gay men, or at the very least men who look and act gay. Kyle
(Jim Verraros), who is also gay, learns about Gwen's unique preference
at a party
also attended by his
straight and newly single pal Caleb (Scott Lunsford), who wants to hook
up with her. Kyle gets the bright idea that Caleb should pretend to be
gay in order to attract Gwen's attention, but this plan seriously
backfires when Marc develops a major crush on Caleb -- and Gwen decides
they make a perfect couple. Eating Out marked the screen acting debut of
Jim Verraros, who was a finalist on the 2002 season of American Idol. ~

Romantic Comedy With a Queer Eye

"We talk normally -- in English."
That's gay college student Kyle (Jim Verraros), explaining to his
clueless, straight roommate, Caleb (Scott Lunsford), how to communicate
with Marc (Ryan Carnes) during Caleb's first boy-boy date in "Eating
Out," a silly romantic farce about sex-orientation switcheroos from
first-time feature writer-director Q. Allan Brocka. Ah, if only that
were true. Most of the gay characters here -- and even a few of the
straight ones -- talk anything
but normally, batting such a
barrage of zingers, bon mots and pop culture references back and forth
that each of them winds up sounding like a cross between Bruce Vilanch,
Carson Kressley, Steven Cojocaru and a reincarnated Oscar Wilde.
"When he's around, my heart beats like a trailer-park husband," says
Marc about Caleb, the heterosexual object of his homosexual affection
who has recently been pretending to be gay to get the attention of Gwen
(Emily Stiles), Marc's straight best friend and roommate, who has a
thing for gays and gay-acting guys. Kyle, meanwhile, secretly likes Marc
but is too shy to tell him. Confused? Wait till you get to the scene
where Caleb, who's still pretending to be gay (and really well, I might
add) has phone sex with Gwen while allowing himself to be, ahem,
"serviced" by Marc. It may just be one of the hottest -- not to mention
weirdest -- sex scenes I've seen lately.
My favorite moment, though? That comes later, when the still-straight
Caleb is forced to "come out" during a dinner with his parents and
little sister. The family's reaction, a parody of open-armed tolerance
and acceptance, is hilarious, as well as a sweet touch of wishful
thinking. Which, come to think of it, pretty much describes "Eating
Out," a sweet and funny take on the crossed-wire romantic couplings of
"A Midsummer Night's Dream," albeit one that, as filmmaker Brocka freely
admits in his own production notes, is "way too gay" for Middle
America.
