Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds

Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds is a 2006 American sex comedy film directed by Phillip J. Bartell. It is the sequel to Eating Out (2004) and the second installment in the franchise. Q. Allan Brocka, who wrote and directed the first film, returned to co-write the screenplay alongside Bartell. The film stars Jim Verraros, Emily Brooke Hands, Rebekah Kochan, Brett Chukerman, Marco Dapper, and Mink Stole. Verraros, Hands, and Kochan reprise their roles from the first film as Kyle, Gwen, and Tiffani, respectively, while Chukerman replaces Ryan Carnes as Marc. Dapper portrays nude art model Troy, while Stole plays Kyle's mother Helen. Following the first film, Kyle and Marc break up, with both setting their sights on Troy, who is questioning his sexuality. In his attempt to approach him, Kyle pretends to be an ex-gay man, with Tiffani posing as his girlfriend, and attends meetings at a support group with Troy; conversely, Marc decides to seduce Troy by being his out gay self.

Production on the movie began quickly after the first Eating Out proved to be a financial success. Due to scheduling conflicts, Brocka was unable to return as director, handing the duties to Bartell, who started to write the script in January 2006. It was finished by May. The ex-gay movement's inclusion in the film stemmed from both writers. Bartell wished to include political themes in the film, believing that comedy can shift one's viewpoint. Brocka had past experience with such organizations. As Carnes was unavailable, Chukerman, who had previously worked with Bartell, was cast as Marc. The casting of roles such as Troy and Octavio—played by Adrián Quiñonez—proved challenging, particularly due to the sex scenes and nudity involved. It took 10 days to film.

Following its premiere at Outfest on July 13, Eating Out 2 received a limited release in cinemas in the United States on November 24. It was released on DVD on May 29, 2007. The film gained mixed reviews from critics. Its quality, plot, and humor received a mixed response, though its political themes and subplot involving the ex-gay group was praised. The performances garnered a mixed response, although Stole was overwhelmingly praised. The film also received attention for the sexualization of its male cast members, with much attention afforded to Dapper's sex appeal.
