Fourth Man Out

The piece this movie gets right is the straight friends' concern and compassion for their gay friend. This movie finds its heart when the straight friends start worrying that their gay friend is lonely. They realize that the key piece is that we're all lonely, and their gay friend is more susceptible to that loneliness. And they love him and try to protect him.

Evan Todd gives a stellar performance, in this average movie, of just a normal work-a-day guy coming out to his friends. He's tired of living the lie so he spills the beans to his life long buddies and they learn to live with it. Each one has his own female 'relationship issues' so now their adult life bring a new relationship issue between themselves.

Director: Andrew Nackman & Writer: Aaron Dancik keep the gay issue lite because this shouldn't be an issue between friends that have been friends since childhood. There are funny moments as Adam (Evan Todd) tries to meet up with other guys. Some are just too weird for words. Nothing seems to go well and his friends want to help - but how?

4th Man Out is easy entertainment. A coming out flick that doesn't throw challenging scenes in the story. It's just about an average guy, who everyone seem to like, becoming himself.

Maybe, the honesty is the lead virtue of this film about friendship, coming up , a small town, nice drops of humor and ordinary events. It is not a manifesto, it has not the desire to be a heartbreaking movie . But a simple, honest portrait of few characters and the connection between them. And , sure, the consequences of a not so comfortable words.

I was taken by surprise with this movie. I know that it is classified as a "gay" movie but in truth it is a "human" movie. It is a story of acceptance and finding our way in life. I could relate to this movie on so many different levels.

It was touching, heartfelt,romantic, and had some truly funny moments.

This dealt with an average guy who had an awakening in his life and he decided to share it with his friends.

It then became a journey for everyone around him - some who accepted and others who did not.

There needs to be more movies like this as the script was well-developed, the actors truly cared about their roles, the production quality was top-notch, and there was a genuine heart to the movie.

A coming out story not featuring high school kids and there is a ton of them, which is fine, just nice to see one involving young adults. Think this was the first time I have seen a coming out scene with a demonstration.that whole scene with the noesy neighbor and priest is, just great! And his father, hey I was eating that.... Lots of laughs..
