Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

leethomas-11621 Simply enjoy this modern comedy. Really well acted with a screenplay that confronts some modern relationship dilemmas. (viewed 8/16)

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a young man who works as a car mechanic in a blue collar town. He is gay but no one even suspects, hence people are shocked when he finally finds the courage to come out. Fortunately, his friends and family remain supportive of him.The nice thing about "4th Man Out" is that it is real. The characters and their experiences are real life like. They are ordinary people who faces ordinary things. People can easily relate to the story. There are a lot of funny moments too, and they can also be related to be the viewers, such as Bradstar. I enjoyed watching this film a lot. It is very sweet.

gradyharp Director Andrew Nackman has transformed writer Aaron Danick's smart script into a film that deserves wide attention, especially at this time in our history when LGTB issues are finally being addressed. The film features some fine actors – among them the true star of the film handsome and talented Evan Todd who turns in a sensitively nuanced performance as the coming out gay 24 year old - as well as the supporting cast of the fine Parker Young, Chord Overstreet and Jon Gabrus.Yes, there are some stereotypes introduced as Adam (Evan Todd) faces the internet dating game that are a bit beyond comedy, but the cast itself treats the issues of coming out with style. The plot outline - A car mechanic in a small, working class town (? Albany, NY) comes out of the closet to his unsuspecting, blue-collar best friends. But it is not just the struggle Adam faces with his quartet of best friends (Parker Young as the most sensitive Chris, Chord Overstreet as the confused Nick, and Jon Gabrus as the group clown Ortu. It is the manner in which the friendships strengthen as Adam gains the courage to come out (a dance he must also perform for his family and outside acquaintances) that makes the film at once entertaining and funny but also (due to the sensitivity of Evan Todd's acting and relationship with Parker Young) very tender.The movie is a treat for all audiences, but the discovery we come away with is the impressive, talented, and hunky Evan Todd. Watch his career blossom. Highly recommended.

jaroslaw99 (Spoilers) This a story about a guy portrayed as very "normal" who at 24 y/o tells his lifelong buddies he is Gay. Well, he starts with his best friend.There were a number of things here that were very good - his friends were generally supportive, the dialogue was mostly realistic, the picture quality, scenery and filming was well done. Three of the four main characters were very good looking, in shape, fairly well muscled. The story was entertaining and there were several pretty good comical situations. I really liked the part where his best friend is acting funny upon hearing the news and the lead says "I'm still the same guy." I applaud the inclusion of common sense, which we need more of.However, this is supposed to be present day - it is hard to imagine that his friends, sister, or parents did not have the slightest inkling he wasn't straight after knowing him all his life. There were a number of places where I wasn't sure what message was being given by the film or was it just poor attempts at humor? For example, the lead's first date was with an unattractive man who misrepresented his online dating photo. When the lead isn't interested, the date asks the lead character if he is shallow, only wanting someone good looking. Uh, no, the date is obnoxious and quirky as well. This date pops up a couple more times and far too much time is wasted on him, again poor attempts at humor. But later when the lead (finally) meets someone presumably not loaded with personal issues, they talk for about 15 seconds and the movie is over.I didn't understand why the lead, when explaining he was Gay and his parents didn't seem to get it, he had to put something in his mouth and simulate oral sex. "that kind of Gay" he explains. (????) I found the mother's instant acceptance strange, the only thing she was "upset" about was they missed out on sharing his "real" life. Really? How could our lead have completely missed that his parents have been totally accepting/non-judgemental for his entire 24 years? I suppose its possible.It was funny enough and the guys were plenty good looking that I'll probably watch it again. But as others have said, the stereotypes just won't go away.
