Set in the Arizona Sonoran desert EATING OUT stars Scott Lunsford as Caleb, a hunky straight college student, who falls for Gwen (Emily Stiles). Caleb's gay roommate, Kyle (Jim Verraros), convinces him that pretending to be gay will get Gwen's attention, and it does. But instead of hooking up with Caleb, Gwen decides to fix him up with her own gay best friend, Marc (Ryan Carnes). Meanwhile Gwen’s latest boyfriend Joey (Billy Shepard) confesses to her that he is actually gay. Puzzled by her attraction to gay men, Gwen sadly wonders if she'll ever fall for a straight guy. When Caleb agrees to go on a “date” with Marc, Kyle gives Caleb some pointers, secretly hoping this will eventually bring him closer to his own desire: Marc. But things get complicated and Caleb is faced with a confusing situation -- how does he reveal his true feelings for Gwen without hurting Kyle or Marc? Marc can't tell why the new guy is so hot and cold while Kyle watches the two loves of his life leave him behind. EATING OUT is writer/director Allan Brocka's feature debut and was shot on location in Tucson, Arizona in only ten days. -- © Ariztical Entertainment [More]

Reviews for Eating Out
Eating Out is a sometimes-enjoyable trifle. But make no mistake. It's a trifle.
It's too formulaic, much too obvious and features some of the most unpleasant characters in recent film history.
You almost want a sequel just to see how hot and heavy it gets when all the characters are finally matched up with their appropriate partners.
While there’s zero chemistry between any of them in any combination, there is an awful lot of the excruciatingly shrill Gwen.
A slight sex comedy that would work far better on stage than screen, where it seems far too talky and too slow.
The story doesn't make any real sense, and the production values are home movie-cheap.
