Sequel as ‘Out’ there as first

“Eating Out 2” is just as silly and tedious as the 2005 original. The first dealt with a straight guy pretending to be gay, and now, in a stunning burst of inspiration, the new film has a gay guy (Jim Verraros), a college student, pretending to be straight in his pursuit of a handsome veterinary major (Marco Dapper) who’s none too sure of his sexual orientation but perfectly at ease posing in the nude for art classes. “Eating Out 2” is sweet-natured, but like the first edition, lame and way too talky. John Waters’ longtime cohort Mink Stole provides some snap as Verraros’ earthy mother, and Dapper has plenty of charisma.
