Summary: DISGRACEFUL FILM
Comment: Its sad to see hollywood talent reduced to making pc, vile and immoral films such as this. This is just another film trying to show normalcy where none exists. When will hollywood realise no on wants to see crap like this? America is tired of the pc immoral trying to push there immorality around.Skip this movie if you have morals and intelligence
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great cast
Comment: An amusing and tender-hearted take on self-discovery and acceptance of differences. Every cast member is terrific: Kline at his best, Cusack incredibly funny, Reynolds seniorly sparkling, and Newhart -- well, Newhart.

Summary: Average.
Comment: In & Out starring Kevin Kline is a pretty tame and predictable film. Kline is a talented actor so his performance is clever and memorable but the plot and jokes fall flat, everyone raved about this film when it was released in 1997, but I found this "coming out" story completely shallow and lifeless. Matt Dillion is also good in this, wish his character was in the film more. So-so comedy that left me bored, decide for yourself.

Summary: Comedy was mediocre...but NOT propaganda
Comment: First let me say that i really wanted to like this movie a lot. NOT because it's a gay movie, but because i really like Kevin Kline.
The detractors say it's a propaganda film. How is showing a movie where a gay person is a GOOD person propaganda? Is the Cosby Show black propaganda, because they show a happy, rich black family? Seriously. Don't you right-wing nuts have an abortion doctor to kill or something?
Ok, now on the the movie itself. Kevin Kline did a fairly good job in the movie, as did Newhart and Debbie Reynolds. But to me, the actor who stole the show was Joan Cusack. She was very funny in this role, and that made it watchable. Also, the small town setting & locations were warm and inviting.
But the movie certainly had some problems. With the exception of the supporting cast, the comedy (particularly what they gave Kevin Kline to work with) was pretty weak. It was predictable, easy, old, hacky, and really just played upon the most BASIC stereotypes of gay people. I was offended. But not because of the stereotypes. I was offended comedically because of the lack of clever writing. Yes, yes, we all know many gay people like Streisand, dancing, snappy dressing, and the arts. It's tired. This might have been funny to me 20 or 30 years ago. But now? Uggghhh.... Somehow, they gave Cusack all the best comedy. She played the perfect comedic foil for Kline, as she was so fragile, so lacking in self-esteem, and constantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown. "Is everyone gay?!"
I enjoyed the overall story that was being told. I really just wish the comedic writing was better.

Summary: Oh Mary, this is a fantabulous movie!!
Comment: We have LOVED this movie for years. It's Kevin Kline at his comedy best, playing a gay man thinking he's straight. What a hoot! And Joan Cusack is his beautiful bride to be. Fun for the whole family. We had it on vhs and decided that we loved it so much, we wanted it on dvd. A movie that should not be missed.
