   I'm gonna go ahead and give In & Out a positive review, but it's kind of dated. I say "kind of" because no way would teenagers these days react like this to a teacher being outed (at the Oscars no less - don't worry, it was the 68th Academy Awards, so Matt Dillon only stole Nicholas Cage's place in the timeline). But there are parts of the U.S. where maybe a teacher could get fired for being gay, or where people would be very awkward about this indeed, so it might ring true, I don't know. If it works it's that the cute cast is quite charming, and director Frank Oz delivers a lot of good jokes that have nothing to do with being gay, and even some, like the audio tape that teaches virility, that work very well too. At times, it challenges stereotypes, but ultimately leans into them, so yeah, I have somewhat ambivalent feelings towards it now that I probably didn't in 1997 when it came out. Ultimately, no harm done. It's just not ambitious enough to truly be controversial. And Lauren Ambrose is in it in an early role. That's good for something, right? 4 years 2 months ago

   Until the audio tape. That part is hilarious! Just that one scene makes the movie! 8 years 8 months ago
