[A] tender, funny, but none too daring film ...

40/100

Outdated, unfunny and unappealingly bro-y, this Outfest favorite only works if you're invested in one very specific way of being gay.

This briskly edited film never fails to be entertaining, and appealing to all audiences.

3/5

As Buddy Movies go, this certainly has an edge, but where its initial scenes take tentative steps into interesting territory, it doesn't take long before it finds itself wandering into tired narrative tropes and a clichéd vilification of effeminacy.

4th Man Out is a heartfelt coming-out comedy with genuine true-to-life awkwardness felt between lifelong friends, family and community as they support the sexual orientation of one of their own.

A canny twist on the typical 'dude comedy.'

It's a little gem. I rewatched it again after several years in between and it totally holds up. It's silly, clever, giggle funny, so relatable (to me anyway), heartwarming and heartbreaking. It's a well constructed little film with colorful yet believable characters and it moves along nicely. Casting is absolutely perfect. I have to single out one particular scene, however, between the main character, Adam, and his mother and father in the family kitchen. Its tenderness and vulnerability are, imo, right up there with the best acting I've ever scene in gay cinema. Hell, in any cinema. Of course, these great actors are reciting some very well written lines. It's one of those you remember. If you're looking for a sweet movie to lift you up a bit in these troubled times - and there's zero wrong with wanting a little mental respite on occasion - clock out for an hour and a half or so, kick back and enjoy yourself. If nothing else, the eye candy will rot your teeth out. Enjoy!
