Absolutely hilarious
I've watched this movie so many times, that it's practically reached classic status for me. This is one of my favorite comedies.Whatever direction it takes, and no matter how many times I've seen it, I still find myself delighted and uporoarious at all the kitschy,quirky one-liners, the hard-to forget characters and performances, and just the all around fun-filled,geneuinely humor filled atmosphere that is created.

This movie is about an English college professor(Kevin Kline) who spends the whole film trying to decide if he's gay or not after one of his students "outs" him to the entire town.The whole cast is a joy to watch, not just Kevin Kline, and the sublime Joan Cusack (as his confused bride-to-be)-the entire cast,absolutely down to the last stunt all make this film all the more zany and hilarious.

If you like no-frills, genuinely laugh=out loud comedy, then check out In and Out.It's guaranteed to make you laugh- a LOT.It's light, and hilarious, and hilarious, and doesn't lose it's enjoyability after multiple viewings.Trust me, I've seen it about 80 times.

A feel-good riot
What a hoot this endearing comedy is. Kevin Kline is excellent as the high school teacher, who may or may not be gay, but the entire cast is outstanding from Joan Cusack, as his long-suffering fiancee, to Debbie Reynolds, as his wedding-addicted mother. ("I want this wedding," she tells Kline. "It's like heroin.")

Paul Rudnick's wickedly clever script takes its cue from Tom Hanks' real-life acceptance speech at the 1994 Oscars, in which the latter thanked his GAY high school teacher for inspiring him to make the movie Philadelphia. In the movie it is Matt Dillon who makes the same speech after winning the Best Actor Award in another supposedly "breakthrough" gay-themed film. (This movie-within-a-movie is itself a gay parody of Born on the Fourth of July.)

Rudnick's gift for creating memorable characters and hilarious dialogue make this the kind of movie that can be watched over and over again. At the same time, he also achieves what no "serious" gay movie has succeeded in doing: he exposes the absurdity of homophobia. Humour, rather than preaching, is his weapon.

Special mention should be made of Tom Selleck, whose jaded trash reporter is one of his most enjoyable - and daring - portrayals.

A riot from start to finish.

Wonderful film commands short but sweet laughs throughout.
"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.
