Fourth Man Out is a coming-out tale with well-worn themes, but its blue-collar spin and appealing cast give it a charm that’s hard to resist.

I really enjoyed this movie. It showed a **** lead character that wasn't a stereotype that so many fall into. I very rarely identify with any **** guys I see in film, but this one felt different almost. I would recommend this movie to about anyone because it is a movie with a **** male lead but does it without being tragic or overly campy which is pretty rare I think.

I enjoyed this movie very much! I saw it at a film festival where it won the audience award and we all loved it. Funny, heartfelt at the right times and well-acted. I'd recommend it to pretty much anybody since it plays like the kind of movie that people from any background could appreciate.

The director, Andrew Nackman, in making a super-mainstream film, leans so far toward the feel-good end of the spectrum that he forgoes the opportunity to make something that is more real, more fraught, more complex.
Old stereotypes are trotted out for humor's sake, and it's not a question of offensiveness, just that the jokes feel 10 years old.
Despite arriving a decade too late, there’s a version of the small-town coming-out comedy 4th Man Out...that could feel relevant. But first-time director Andrew Nackman’s emotionally shallow, vaguely misogynistic take isn’t it.
A gay auto mechanic comes out to his straight buddies in Fourth Man Out, but the shortage of dramatic texture, psychological insight or credible sexual tension in this toothless brom-com means he might as well be telling them he has a cold.
It's a bizarre and retrograde spectacle, as clueless and incurious about friendship as it is about the rudiments of composition and screenwriting
Someone made a movie that is funny and cute and tries to tell bros to accept it when a bro comes out to them. It also says parents can easily accept their **** children without any stupid drama. The lead is also not a **** walking stereotype and just a normal dude with average Joe tendencies. This is so bad. What a vile movie!
Seriously I don't get all these low scores and negative reviews.

A man decides to come out to his group of bros with interesting and funny results. Things of course change but they try and be their most accommodating by taking him to **** clubs and even on double dates. But an accidental misreading tears the group apart and he does his best to bring them all together. All the while trying to find someone of his very own. The movie is fun and heartfelt but there's nothing really new here. The approach is however refreshing and the film feels genuine.

No matter what comes between, the friendship remains forever!
I had seen lots of **** themed films, but this one was different and way better I felt. This was not about the romance, sex or the social struggle, it was about the friendship and nothing else. When one of four friends reveal that he's a ****, how the remaining three reacts to it and what are all damages done to their longstanding friendship is the film.
I don't know any of these actors, but I liked their performance. And for the first timer, the direction was not bad which was done in just 17 days. Obviously not a greatest film of the year or the best **** film ever, but it had some great moments. A simple story about the four ordinary friends, and their unexpected situation to deal with. Something they're not used to it, but trying their best to adapt forth in the life.
Only occasional use of a few obscene lines, so the film is safe to watch for all. It avoids the some usual **** related cliché, and provides with a fresh storyline. The laughs were not big, especially it avoids the offendable joke topics the most. So overall a decent comedy. For its low budget, the film actually looked like a big production film with a quality narration. Maybe you're not interested in the **** films, but if you do, then don't miss this little gem.

Mildly entertaining movie with a not so great storyline and so so acting. We only watched it because it had a **** theme. WIshed we watched another movie, but my husband was laughing occasionally, so we kept watching.
