Adam (Evan Todd) is a single mechanic in Albany, NY. As he turns 24 he decides to come out, first to his three drinking buddies, then to his family. They go through the initial shock, but after they figure out it wasn't the Taylor Swift concert, they decide to be supportive, going that extra mile to make him feel accepted.
Adam does not display the stereotypical "gayness," but other characters in the film do. If anything the film blasts through many of the false notions Hollywood and society have about gay people in an entertaining drama/comedy.

Love is what you make it
Four best friends ... but one of them is different. Well everyone is different from the other guy, but one of them is ... homosexual. But no one knows, apart from himself of course. Cue a coming out, many funny weird situations and a lot of drama. The movie tries to keep it as real as possible. How would some react if they knew or a friend of theirs would come out? It does not take things lightly, though at times you could accuse the movie of taking in cliches a bit too far.
Having said that, it still is grounded in reality. If you are squeamish when it comes to sexual orientation, than obviously this is not for you. There is also male on male kissing. This is not about you enjoying that short moment and I'm just giving a heads up. Not judging nor critisizing nor anything else. Overall though this is really well made and whatever or however you may feel about certain small things should not matter (again I leave this up to you the viewer or not, to decide).
Just four straight blue-collar guys. Only not exactly.
4th Man Out (2015) or Fourth Man Out (original title) is a film directed by Andrew Nackman. The four men are blue collar guys who have been friends since high school. They hang out in bars and strip clubs, play poker together, and have girlfriends whom they might just marry some day.
That's all pretty standard, until one of them tells them that he's gay. The other three guys don't know how to act, what to say, and what not to say. That's the premise of the film-- you've known this guy all your life, and suddenly, he's not exactly the same guy you knew.
Coming out stories are never simple--in real life or in movies. Coming out to your parents is one thing. Coming out to three guys who don't hang out with gays is another matter again.
The film really worked for me, because I thought that the reactions of the three friends were realistic. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad. The three sit around saying, "He's our friend, he's still the same guy. No, he isn't."
There some overwrought moments, and my wife thought that the denouement of one of the sub-plots at the end of the movie was unbelievable. However, we both liked this film, and we think it will appeal to straights as well as to gays.
We saw this film on the large screen at ImageOut, the very successful Rochester LGBTQ Film Festival. It will work very well on the small screen also.
