I really want to like each new installment of the Eating Out series. I really truly do. I appreciate the work that goes into making a feature film and this series is pretty much the only one of its kind, the gay romantic comedy series. But they're just getting progressively worse and worse. The formula is getting entirely repetitive and in this fourth installment the repetition is literal, with the constant re-doing and re-doing of a scene from "The Taming of the Shrew". It's like the film is on its own internal loop. A character has a breakthrough in one scene and in the next they're right back where they started, as if the first scene never happened. I struggle through one scene and I literally have to stop the film to gather myself up enough to get through the next one. The man-candy is great but I can see screen caps on the Internet. I know the next film is already in the can, but if there's going to be a part 6 then Brocka needs to take a break, regroup and rethink his approach.
