Mink Stole delivers this line toward the end of this film, and I have to agree with her.
Eating Out was sold as a gay parody franchise, a wasteland where promiscuous sex, nudity and sensuality were not only permitted, but accepted. This film dials that down to near oblivion.
The audio mixing of this film is atrocious, the script is horrendous and the drama is bland and boring. As someone who was practically raised on teen drama series, the fact that the drama couldn't maintain my interest is a testament to just how bad this film truly is.
The beautiful Daniel Skelton appears as Casey, reprising his role from the previous film... but his character is really wasted. Skelton himself has upped his acting chops in this film, but unfortunately the direction seemed very odd for his character in this film. A character that I cared so much for in the previous entry is now as bland and boring as the rest of the characters in this hit-or-miss (but largely miss) franchise.
The problem as to why this movie had such a huge dip in quality can be attributed to one particular thing, that I've observed. The best entry in this franchise is directed by Glenn Gaylord, who directed the third entry exclusively. This entry, the direct follow-up, is directed by Q. Allan Brocka, who also directed the first entry. This may be a project he's passionate about (generally the director of the original is the original mastermind), but this is neither a genre nor franchise he should be involved with.
This was a huge letdown. It's impossible to follow the plot when it sounds like you have plastic cups taped over the microphones. If you were going for the "bootleg cam" style, you got it, but most normal people aren't going to want to sit through that. Sorry.
