Ella L @EllaLLPB Jan 19 Classic! Excellent cast, just a lovely movie See more Mark D @markdowd1959 Sep 29 Seen it five times already... Acute, funny, fabulous performances See more Avalon T @Avalon604 Jun 27 This is definitely one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. How could you go wrong with a cast like this? Debbie Reynolds, Walter Blimley, Kevin Kline, Tom Sellick, and Bob Newhart. Many laugh out loud moments in this well written smart script. Well worth watching and a really enjoyable way to spend an evening. See more Michael V @RT01374702 10/04/2024 An out-and-out comedy.

I could only watch about a third and then put it out of it's misery. The whole stupid premise of this movie was concerning a topic I seldom think about and couldn't care less about. Don't bother with this one. See more jon c 09/20/2022 Is it better to be in the closet or completely out in the open no matter how much there's to deny? Frank Oz directs Kevin Kline, Matt Dillion, Debbie Reynolds, Bob Newhart, Wilford Brimley, Dan Hedeya, Whoopi Goldberg, Glenn Close, Tom Sellick, and Joan Cusack Kline stars as Professor Howard Bracket A former student of his becomes a very successful superstar actor During an awards ceremony he gives a speech and out of the blue declares his professor Howard is actually gay of all things! Howard is distressed by this bombshell and naturally tries to deny it His wife Emily is distraught as are the townfolk and he's scrambling to assert his manliness determined to prove he is straight The film has enough wacky hijinks to tickle the funny bone But for some reason it keeps going and when the focus shifts away from Kline it's a bit distracting But it gives enough in the script for declaring yourself, being part of the LGBTQ community isn't a bad thing or contagious, it's okay to truly be yourself instead of bottling it up, and just learning to love and accept is much easier than to put it aside Keep in mind: the film doesn't always find comfortable ground between broad comedy and social commentary, but lively performances -- especially from Kline and Cusack -- enrich the mixture of laughs and sexual tolerance This could've wrapped up quicker and by todays standards it feels quaint — a time capsule of the late '90s, its prejudices, stereotypes and worth-lampooning gay cliches But it gets points for being satirical as it can be See more Read all reviews
