Han G Mar 2, 2019 3/2/2019 I'm probably rating this on how it aged a couple of decades after release and enjoyability to watch. A lot of movies from that decade did not age well (ehem, Clueless) but this seems to be a moderate exception. Though the topic seemed to be taken more lightly before than how treatment is done today, some of the punchlines would not be too politically correct in the current time. Nevertheless, as a proud gay man belonging to a loving family, the graduation scene had me tearing up a bit. Kevin Kline was the perfect for this role. See more

Feb 1, 2019 The best comedy movie ever made!

Kylo P Dec 13, 2018 To Come Out Of A Closet With A Laugh. In & Out Oz's light hearted concept that grows into heavy intense dramatic showdown is latter a wakeup call for the society but first a beautifully crafted comic delight. What seems at first as a mere joke and gives away its intention of not taking it seriously proves you wrong later in every frame of the screen. It is calculatively constructed with a fresh to-the-point structure that never takes its material for granted. The emotional aspect of the feature is left upon the concept to fill it in, it just communicates with you, the benign idea that boost off this film has its heart in the right place. On humor, Oz never lets you feel that the gag is forcibly imputed, each well timed punchline makes sense, even the pop culture references, you are practically wolfish for more and more. Out of many sketches that follows the idea of the protagonist wrestling itself on his identity, the best one would be the sort of guide manual tape recording that teaches the protagonist to be a man. Now this part is one big sloppy kiss for both the actors and the writers, the writers hitting all the notes they can on mocking themselves in a spoof and satirical tone while the actor has to draw out as much as laugh he can with physical sequences where he doesn't have to share the screen. I think it gives away the surf on performance record, Kilne as a juggling ball that is juggled by the narrow ideologies of the societies holds up for his role along with Selleck as his supporter. And supporting her is Cusack as the real victim of this entire case- or at least that is what she feels- is a pure delight while delivering her frustration over petty things. In & Out is aptly titled, it doesn't ponder over the usual semantics, it couldn't care less. See more

Hagrid M Dec 7, 2018 As a complete comedy it works. But the subject matter of the movie was the selling point at the time. So, if you can appreciate the time (late 90s) then you might like this film. Also, back then, movies like this helped paved the way for acceptance. See more

Kylo W Jul 15, 2018 Love the pacing of this movie, love Kline's and Cusak's performances, it is hilariously gem-packed, yet the story is more or less forgettable See more

Harry L Mar 12, 2018 I watched this film because I wanted something light and not too much demanding. The plot is pretty easy: an emerging actor wins the Oscar and during his acceptance speech he simply says thank to his school teacher, labeling him as gay. The problem is that the teacher is going to get married and his wife-to-be doesn't take it well. It's a shock. The teacher tries to prove he is not gay at all. As I said, the plot is very simple, there are some funny situations, but as a whole this film isn't a masterpiece. For sure the great part of the film is sustained by Kevin Kline who does a remarkable and believable job. Despite it's only an average comedy, it worth to be watched at least one time. See more
