Oh, well... The festival was a great time and quality was pretty consistently right up there with the best...
Until the very end, when this clunker came along.
OMG, what a waste of time.
LOL....OMG, Bill...your comment made me literally laugh right out loud! Thank you so much for confirming my fears and further validating my/our decision not to attend this film and to let "Mary Lou" be the official close of ImageOut 2011 for us!
I actually enjoyed this one. Yes, it was campy, and light, and focused on the sex more than the plot. But then this is part 5 of a series which was pretty much consistent in what it delivered. It was a nice light comedy that you didn't have to think about a lot to enjoy, with some nice eye candy.
That said, it's not one I'll probably pick up, and it's not something I'd think of to recommend to someone right off. It's not thought provoking, nor does it have a particularly strong message. So I can see where some would find it dull, or too simple.
For me, this was like frosting decorations on a cake. They're fun, pretty, and top things off well. If it was missing, it wouldn't be a big deal. And if you don't like frosting, or frilly decorations, it's probably too much for you. But then who wants to end a party with a shot of espresso vs some cute light-hearted frosting? ;)
I just can't see what is so great about these movies. The acting was really bad and the director totally missed the opportunity to leverage Jennifer Elise Cox's wonderful comedic talent. She is always hilarius in whatever she does so what a shame that she only appeared in a few minutes of the the movie.
I agree that Mary Lou was the true and rightful closing of the festival.
Very disappointing. The series started relatively strong, but has degenerated into the worst of gay moviedom-- ie. toss in a cast of pretty boys mix in absurd sexual situations and vomit on to film. It's insulting to the gay community to have this type of movie presented at a film festival.
I have to agree with most of the posters here. This film was bad to the point of insulting its audience. I liked the first two Eating Out movies, and I loved the third one. A big difference (in addition to the horrible script) was the absence of Rebekah Kochan, who elevated the earlier films into hilarious camp. I was glad to hear that Eating Out 6 will focus on her character again--that's almost worth sitting through this one (but not worth the $10 per ticket).
I agree with Woody's comments. I enjoyed this film, but by now you should pretty much know what to expect from the Eating Out series.
