In & Out

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful film commands short but sweet laughs throughout.
Review: "In & Out" is the kind of film that is actually fun to watch. In a time when so much is stressed on the way a film looks, who's in the film, and other pointless things like that, "In & Out" shines as a light film that is not a burden to watch. This is the kind of film perfect for watching on an airplane or on one of those TV's they have on buses because it is written well and hilarious, and you could start watching it from any point in the film and you'd still get it and love what you saw. The cast is superb (Kevin Kline is an ingenious actor and works well with comedy; Joan Cusack is a wonder, despite not having an extremely "fun" part here) and the jokes are funny. While many people might be up in arms about how the movie clings onto the stereotypes for homosexuals, that's what the movie is about: How people are always accused of being gay just because they fit these stereotypes. There is nothing to be upset about at all in this film. My only complaint is that the film is in too much of a hurry to get from one joke to the next. Yes, it's true, many jokes were missed because the film didn't spend enough time on a topic as it could of because it was always in such a hurry to move on to another funny topic. Other than that, "In & Out" is a superb and light movie to watch.

Summary: BREEZY, SLIM
Review: IN & OUT tries a bit too hard to be all things to all people, and kind of loses steam in the final reel, but up until then, there are lots of well-earned laughs and fun performances. Joan Cusack needs to win the Oscar one of these years; she manages to be an outrageously effective comic actor AND empathetic and sweetly feminine all at the same time. Kevin Kline does a lot with a painfully thin role; Tom Selleck is surprisingly light on his feet. Yet the premise never quite delivers on its promise of comic mayhem and some realistic resolve that doesn't feel like a let-down. The locations, production values and score seem designed to resemble a Hallmark greeting card, so as to make the homosexuality-infused plot line more palatable to the masses.

Summary: Great Comedy
Review: I really loved this film..It may look some people as a soap comedy but I dont think so..It is really very funny, especially Oscar Ceremony Night and Audio Lesson to be a Macho Man!

This film is one of the best comedies I have ever watched and I advise people who likes comedy films, to archive In & Out..

Summary: Really 3.5 stars - funny but gets annoying
Review: This movie IS funny to watch, but the over-stereotyping gets a bit too much after a while. Only the US could think this is such an "out-there" movie.

Summary: Too, too funny
Review: Tears rolling down my face! This movie was great, but my favorite line has to be, 'Is EVERYONE gay!'. Also many other great one liners to use at parties, 'But you're so tall', 'Arnold S. can't dance, he can barely walk!', 'I NEED this wedding, it's like heroin'.The ending was very cute, I love the way they teased the audence. My only complaint, how can you put the two moustache icons in THIS movie without their 'staches!

Summary: Hilarious film is ruined in the end
Review: I read all the various reviews of the film and some people are labeling it propaganda and attacking other's views. Well I have a negative review too!

How can anyone put together such a great cast of actors and turn out such a stupid film. My views on homosexuality are very conservative but that is not the point. The film is very amusing at first but it ends up being just a pointless drama at the end. I mean the comedy just stopped and I felt cheated out of a film that could have been truly great if it kept up the comedy.

Movies don't have to be so preachy. Especially when their comedies.

Summary: A Good Movie
Review: Though I have strong feelings opposing homosexuality, I enjoyed this movie very much. Kevin Kline is superb as Howard Brackett, as the teacher who is "outed" on national television. With a good supporting cast, a good director (Frank Oz, memorable to me as the voice of Bert and Cookie Monster),and a script that really works, it is an enjoyable piece of work. It is nice the way the whole town stands up for Kevin Kline at the end, that everyone liked him that much to do what they did, a nice gesture. I have got an aunt in another country...she is gay but just does not want to admit it. Well Aunt "Wisemicky"-- as Tom Selleck said "Sometimes the worst thing you think can happen turns out to be the best thing."

Summary: If Only All Propaganda was Done As Well
Review: If this was propaganda, then I would only hope all propaganada was as intelligently and humorously done. Sometimes it's okay to go to the movies just to enjoy the film, and that's certainly where In&Out fits. A wonderfully fun movie that deals with a sensitive issue and puts it in perspective. Enjoy the film, and stop reading so much into it. We're all people, after all.

Summary: Fun!
Review: I was pleasantly surprised by this film. I wasn't sure what to expect from the author of "Jeffrey" and was really hoping that this wouldn't be a horrible film. Kevin Kline plays the quietly gay personality to perfection and I was surprised how well Tom Selleck did in playing a slightly swishy gay male. He had me thoroughly convinced. Throw in the funniest screen kiss I've seen in a good long while and lots of Barbra Streisand (whom I can't stand so the stereotype doesn't always hold here, folks), and you've got a charming film. The best scene in the film is arguably the post-wedding scene where the older women are sharing secrets. The ending was very cliched in the style of most men-done-wrong comedies, though, so if this kind of denoument makes you hate a film, you may want to skip this.

Summary: Religious Right, Stay Away
Review: I am voting five stars for this movie to counter-act the hateful pigs that gave it one star, labelling it 'propaganda'. What you people preach is hate; this movie teaches acceptance. You wouldn't know human decency if it bit you. The movie was very funny and I enjoyed it. It does not endorse or condone; it tells a story, and a warped mind might choose to see things that are not there. If that is the case, keep it to yourself!
