I honestly thought this was going to be one of the worst gay films I've ever seen out there because of the comedy sacastic jolly theme to it but it however did prove me wrong. I really liked how there was some scenes that made you laugh, cry and dance to the "macho man". Seriously Kevin Kline has got some moves because honestly, that scene where he dances made you dance.Add to that, they did get good well-known stars to appear into this such as Joan Cusack, Tom Selleck, Matt Dillon, Glenn Close, Jay Leno, Whoopi Goldberg and the late Debbie Reynolds. I really didn't think Cusacks and Dillions characters were going to end up together, I really thought Dillions and Klines characters were going to be happily ever after. Ah well, sure it's best to have Dillions character with someone else lol!Tom Selleck and Kevin Klines characters made a great couple on this even if they are straight married men in real life. I thought either Kline and Selleck were gay but it was such a surprise that they aren't with guys for real! Anyways sure they are great actors anyhow!This movie would be good if you're bored by doing nothing because it's one heck of romance ride! I give this 8/10!

If you're not anti-LGBT, this is a great movie. It has an outstanding cast AND it comes with a very serious guide to not being a sissy-man because manly-men neither dance nor laugh. It is an excellent study in the efficacy of conversion therapy. Watch it, you'll survive.This is a must see for Kline fans. I can watch this every 2 - 3 years.

Howard Brackett (Kevin Kline) is a popular English teacher and coach in Greenleaf Indiana. His past student Cameron Drake (Matt Dillon) is a big star up for the academy awards. In his acceptance speech, he dedicates the award for his homosexual soldier performance to his gay teacher Howard. This brings all kinds of entertainment reporters including Peter Malloy (Tom Selleck) and shocks everybody in town including his fiancée Emily (Joan Cusack).This has some funny moments. It's almost killing homosexuality with kindness playing up Howard's inoffensive effeminate traits. The massive news coverage is ridiculously over the top. Its heart is in the right place and so is most of the townfolks. The movie is filled with homosexual clichés and hasn't really aged well. It tries to take on homophobia with such a finger tip light touch. Kevin Kline walks a very fine line. In the end, this is an one joke movie that doesn't quite work anymore.

In 'In and Out', Kevin Kline plays a repressed gay teacher inadvertently outed by a former student on national television. (The Oscars, no less) He finally comes out with the truth - at the altar on his wedding day. Of course there is a happy ending with him accepting his sexuality, the townfolk accepting him, and, as a sort of bonus prize, his ending up with Tom Selleck, the most perfect man in the universe. Sounds just like real life, doesn't it? Of course a movie can't shatter stereotypes without depicting a few. Our hero is a neat freak and obsessed with Barbra Streisand. His pals even show 'Funny Lady' at his bachelor party. (Odd, most of the gay guys I know are a bit on the sloppy side and can't stand La Streisand.) At times this movie is so sweet your teeth ache, but it is saved by hilarious performances by Joan Cusack as the bride-not-to-be and Matt Dillon as the former student. And Tom Selleck is about as handsome and charming as a human being can be. Oh, and to really up the cute quotient, there is a quartet of little old ladies dacing to Macho Man with their walkers.
