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.

tempname2552 December 2009The 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). -
rivertam2626 August 2020A woman helps a gay friend find love with his crush on a dating website by posting his profile with a pic of her hot ex. But problems arise when her ex arrives and they have to keep the charade up. Although it's really more of the same this is the best entry yet. The two leads have good chemistry, although all of the performances leave something to be desired. There's lots more eye candy this time around and the movies even more raunchy. Hunky Chris Salvatore is a welcome edition and underneath all the whoriness is a heart.

Gordon-113 October 2010This 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! -
jaybob23 November 2009This is the third film in the EATING OUT series.
The first one was fun & enjoyable.
The second missed (lacked enjoyable comedy.
This is somewhere in between, I mostly enjoyed it.
The acting is overly campy.
The script could have been better, the subject of Internet dating needed better handling.
There are no actual sex scenes,the few in the movie are simulated.
Some real nice bodies, nice male eye candy.
Best thing is that including the credits the running time is a fast 80 minutes.
Stay to end of credits, the last bit is actually quite humorous..
Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4) 68 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10) -
IanRusk4 January 2015First of the Eating Out movies series I have seen and so far the best of the lot. Simple but workable storyline about a guy named Casey who has a crush on a hot hunk (Zack) who has just broken up with his boyfriend and is looking everywhere but in the right place (which would be? the witty Casey). Casey has just moved to town and started work at Nail Me nail salon for his new best friend, Tiffani, who tries to help Casey hook up with the hunk, Zach. Along the way, Tiffani's ex-boyfriend Ryan, a straight male stripper, gets pulled into the mix of trying to hook up Casey and Zack (including a funny 3-way sex scene). In the end, all works out well. Funny and irreverent with great one-liners delivered by Tiffani (Rebekah Kochan) and a great performance by the stripper boyfriend played by Michael E.R. Walker. The story even comes off as a caring exploration of what is true love. (I actually liked this movie better and had more laughs than any of the Seth Rogen movies). For mature audiences as frontal nudity by the hot hunk Zack and the stripper Ryan. Fun for a bored evening.

ninetyninedegrees23 November 2009I 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.

preppy-311 July 2010Young, cute, thin and gay Casey (Daniel Skelton) lusts after hunky Zack (Chris Salvatore). With the help of friend Tiffani (Rebekah Kochan) he makes a profile online and uses the pics of her str8 stripper ex-boyfriend Ryan (Michael E.R. Walker) to lure Zach. Zach falls for "Ryan"...but the REAL Ryan show up.
The plot is completely predictable and the events like this would never happen in real life. Also most of the comedy falls flat. But, I liked this! It's quick (only 80 minutes including the credits), it has a friendly "feel" to it and the cast is rearing to go. Kochan has been in all three of these "Eating Out" movies and she's fun...if a little over the top. Skelton isn't TOO nerdy as Casey (I mean that in a good way). Salvatore is incredibly handsome. He's not all pumped up but he's so good-looking you won't notice! His acting is just OK. Walker IS all pumped up and incredibly good-looking as Ryan...but his acting seems a little unsure. Also there's impressive full frontals of Salvatore AND Walker! So it isn't good but I liked it. I give it an 8. -
tommy567720 February 2019This movie is a hilarious soft core porn romp and Rebekah is a hoot. She's incapable of deadpan anything and always has the tiniest little smirk on her face. Chris Salvatore is probably one of the most gorgeous specimens of men, gay or straight, I've ever seen. He is so extraordinarily universally handsome that it should be a crime. The eating out series is well done with good production values and better than mediocre acting. We need more fun in gay themed movies like this rather than the BS dramas with all the tragedy everyone believes typifies the gay experience. Ok. So they believe This one does too. Who cares?

lavendertraveler15 April 2019The first thing that strikes you about Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat is the cast. It's the hottest assembly of twinks and flawless beefcake in cinema history! Yes, they tend to overact, and use sarcasm in place of witty dialogue, but the players are so likable that you tend to overlook minor flaws, and you're swept along with the erotic story.
The inconsequential storyline is virtually irrelevant. Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat is nothing but eye candy, beautiful moving male images to enjoy. Productions values are excellent, editing is sharp, there is no dead space and no wasted time. EO3: AYCE rewards you for your continued viewing.
Blond, slim, boyish, hairless body Daniel Skelton as Casey is the very personification of the term twink. Chris Salvatore as Zack, with his heavy five o'clock shadow and deep-set, deep-blue eyes, is the prototype of young beefcake. Not daddy material quite yet, but someday he'll make a superb transition to the next stage of gay male stereotypes. Frequent Divine costar (Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble) Mink Stole makes a welcome appearance as Aunt Helen.
Who needs Viagra? When you're in the mood for mindless sensual visual stimulation, watch Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat. -
baileycrawly13 December 2023For the third course, All You Can Eat, I feel like I finally got what I was craving the entire time... except, if I had it my way, I'd have gone back for 3 or 4 more helpings of this masterpiece.
This, the third franchise entry, is missing every single flaw that was in its predecessors. Switching things up and choosing to follow a different storyline with (for the most part) new characters was a genius decision, and they handled it really well, managing to provide an entirely new story without harming the continuity of the franchise entries before it.
This film is actually, genuinely funny and the acting, while campy in parts, feels like it is the way it is as a result of deliberate choice rather than poor writing or bad acting. Everything about this film, from start to finish, was fun, sexy and even heartfelt. It pulls off everything the first 2 wanted to accomplish but just didn't seem to quite hit the mark on.
Shout out to Rebekah Kochan as Tiffani von der Sloot, who provides one of the most entertaining opening scenes I've seen in a movie in quite some time; Mink Stole for being herself and bringing her trademark charm to yet another gay movie (her screen time is criminally minimal but she doesn't disappoint when she's on screen) and Daniel Skelton, the gorgeously delicious eye-candy and talent behind the whole thing. Skelton's Casey was the first sympathetic character in this franchise for me, the very first one I cared about. I don't know if any other actor could've brought exactly what was needed to the table, but he didn't disappoint.
This film is responsible for renewing my excitement and anticipation for the forthcoming entries. -
