"In & Out" is a very nice and interesting comedy with a subject that probably no straight man would like to see happening to himself: being called gay and everybody believing it. Still, if it happens in a good movie like this one, it is a guarantee for plenty of laughter at the right moments.
Howard Brackett has a beautiful life: his got a wonderful job as an English teacher in a high school, he's respected by everybody and he's about to marry a beautiful woman. But than something unfortunate happens to him. One of his ex-students has become an actor and wins an Acadamy Award for his portrayal of a homosexual army soldier. During his speech he tells to the whole world that Mr. Bracket was his big inspiration and that the man is gay. An entire media circus is started and Mr. Brackett has the greatest difficulties to convince everybody that he isn't gay, but that it is all based on one big misunderstanding...
"In & Out" would probably have gone by completely unnoticed if it hadn't been for the story. The acting is very nice and it offers enough laughter, but if it hadn't been for the story, this movie might have been one of many ... worth a watch, but too easy to forget. This time however, I had a great time watching it and it stayed with me long after I had seen it. That's why I give this movie a 7.5/10. It's a nice comedy and good entertainment for the entire family.
