“Eating Out: All You Can Eat” features hot actors and a comedy showcase for Rebekah Kochan

Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat has many funny lines but none funnier than this one uttered by leading lady Rebekah Kochen: “You’re dumber than a flock of Palins!”

These movies don’t get much respect but they sure get laughs. In the latest entry of the Eating Out franchise, the only holdover from the first and second films is Kochan and she gets her best showcase to date. Her character will pretty much say whatever is on her mind and usually it’s something wildly offensive and rude – and very funny.

Because of her ability to anchor the film so deftly, director Glenn Gaylord was able to surround her with several newcomers all making their feature film debuts including Daniel Skelton, Chris Salvatore, Michael Walker,  John C. Stallings, Maximiliano Torandell, and Rick D’Agostino. – all openly gay actors.

Hooray!

Then you add the great Leslie Jordan popping in and out of the movie and Mink Stole too and you end up with a surprisingiy solid comedy. What elevates it and makes it really buzz-worthy though is the leading lady. The jokes come so fast and furious that I’m sure I will catch more on my second viewing.

Here’s the crazy plot which is just as silly as the previous two: Wacky Tiffani (Kochan) and her friend Casey (Skelton) try to lure the gorgeous Zack (Salvatore) with a phony online profile using the image of Tiffani’s buff ex, Ryan… which works fine until the real Ryan shows up. Only through some fancy footwork, advice from his Aunt Helen (Mink Stole) and mentor Harry (Jordan), and a daring sexual escapade can Casey figure out how to set things right and perhaps even find the love he’s been seeking.

The movie wrapped in early July after an 11-day shoot. It appears to already be in good shape and kudos to writers Allan Brocka and Phillip J. Bartell for a fun script.

Three jokes, however, we very off-putting and I hope do not make the film’s final cut when it is released on DVD in November. They include the line about something being “as serious as AIDS,” a 9/11 joke that makes everyone uncomfortable and a comic reference to rape.

There is nothing funny about those three subjects -ever. Pushing the envelope is one thing but this film has enougb outrageous humor going for it that those three references are so not needed.
