October theatrical release in NY, LA and SF set for gay comedy sequel “Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat”

In order to qualify for the Academy Awards (sorry! could not resist!), Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat will open in New York at the Quad on October 9. Los Angeles / Sunset 5 and San Francisco Roxy will follow on October 16 and the film will roll out nationally throughout November).

I saw the flick at Outfest in July and it 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.

Then you add the great Leslie Jordan popping in and out of the movie and Mink Stole too and you end up with a 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.

Here is the trailer:
