July 31, 2010Stereotypical and sometimes plain absurd, IN & OUT does manage to cause a few laughs, mostly due to Kevin Kline and Joan Cusack's performances. Debbie Reynolds and Matt Dillon have their moments as well.
For its climactic scene, the film demands a suspension of disbelief and, if... read more -
July 28, 2010Kevin Kline is one of my favorite actors, so I may sound biased when I say his performance was spot on, and it was. It was great, hilarious, and unexpected. Still, the plot had something to be desired, and mostly it was downright depressing at certain times. Still, good film.

October 8, 2009Sat through the whole thing but never really got into it. I didn't think it was fun or funny, except for funny queer. The ending is nothing but gay acceptance crap.

October 1, 2009If people want to watch these kinds of films in the privacy of their own homes then fine, I just don't want this kind of rubbish on my TV and shoved in my face! ;o) Directed by Miss Piggy.

June 2, 2009This movie comes from a list of movie that were shown at the 1997 Toronto International Film Festival. It starts off a little slow, but found myself caught up before it was all over. We are in small town America, and Kevin Kline plays Mr. Brackett who is a English teacher at a l... read more

January 31, 2009A touching and funny film, dealing with ostracising nature of small-town America against gays and anyone else thought of as ?different? and not in the community's interests. Kline is hilarious and demonstrated to be a brilliant dancer/mover ? the scene with the self-help tape is ... read more

January 8, 2009Comedy about a teacher (Kevin Kline) who is "outed" by a former student. The problem is, he doesn't even know himself that he might be gay.
One of the funniest scenes in the movie is when he is listening to a cassette tape which will help him become more masculine. The tape ... read more -

Actually, the funniest parts of the movie are excerpts from the film that Cameron is originally nominated for. Full Review

Todd McCarthy, Variety
Basically a one-joke farce that plays around with a once-delicate subject that by now is a mainstay even on TV. Full Review

Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
The Hollywood stuff at the beginning with Glenn Close as an Oscar presenter and Matt Dillon as a puffed-up star on the rise is as funny and as nasty as anything in Libby Gelman-Waxner's columns. Full Review

[Delivers] laughs and skewer a few stereotypes, thanks to extremely sly wit and a fine cast. Full Review

From the very first scene, you know that In and Out has struck a rich satirical vein. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
In a year when good comedies seem as hard to make as ever, In and Out is one of the best. Full Review

For the most part, this hilarious caper's gay characters are knee-deep in the American mainstream. Full Review
