The horny gay and straight young folks from "Eating Out" continue to crack wise and sniff out partners in "Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds" -- and the filmmaking (unfortunately) continues to be just as sloppy. This sequel is no more than a cheapo campy goof, but while this time round the film does contain a higher quota of laugh lines and hunks, an unsubtle message that efforts to make gay youth "go straight" is destined to fail. Luckily for the filmmakers, the original's popularity in video seems certain to extend to this follow-up, now having a modest spin around gay and lesbian film fests.



The plot sounds just as convoluted this time round. Dumped by b.f. Marc (Brett Chukerman), Kyle (Jim Verraros, reprising his role from the previous pic) is turned on by the new male model in his art class, Troy (Marco Dapper). Troy claims to be hetero, but Kyle and gal pals Gwen (Emily Brooke Hands) and slutty Tiffani (Rebekah Kochan) aren't so sure. To test Troy's leanings, Kyle takes him to a "going straight" session that provides the pic with broad satirical targets. Gay cinema favorites such as Mink Stole add to the party atmosphere, and thesps have fun even if they confuse reciting lines with acting.



What can i say? Rent this video for its hunk factor, but don't expect to take it too seriously. The lack of a cameo from Ryan Carnes also may turn some fans off, but on the whole, this is a fun romp for a Friday night when you are tired of "eating out" at the local gay bar.
