A h, the memories — It just
seemed like yesterday
when Matt from “Melrose
Place” was the only homosexual
in the media.
Today however, is different.
Over the past nine months, gays
and lesbians have come to the
forefront of the national media.
First, Ellen DeGeneres “outs” her
character on prime time televi
sion. Then Chasing Amy is re
leased, a film about a guy who
falls in love with a lesbian. As if
that wasn’t enough, even the ac
tor who played Jonathan from the
’80s television series “Who’s the
Boss?” announced he is gay. Poor
Angela. .
In the new film In and Out,
Kevin Kline plays Howard, the
proverbial Streisand-loving, mu
sical-watching, disco-dancing
homosexual. He just does not
know it yet. Some people are the
luckiest people in the world.
The film opens with Howard’s
hometown abuzz with the up
coming Academy Awards. It
seems a local boy named
Cameron Drake (Matt Dillon) has
been nominated for an Oscar.
Hello, gorgeous!
Cameron wins the Oscar and
in his acceptance speech thanks
none other than Howard, who
was his high school English
teacher. Then Cameron an
nounces Howard is gay.
After the Oscars, the townis
shocked by the news, including
Howard and his fiance Emily,
played by the perennially funny
girl, Joan Cusack.
Soon, the town is mobbed by
reporters eager to get the scoopo-
1 loward, who only wants things
the way we — I mean they—wen
In and Out is neither the “out
and out” comedy as the trailers
proclaim, nor is it a sappy taleof;
closeted homosexual. It is
mildly cute film with a charming
cast that doesn’t deliver.
Kline does a fine job as there
pressed Howard. While he make
the character believably effemi
nate, there is something lacking
in his performance. Thehumord
the role is there, but knowing
Kline’s past performances infr
such as A Fish Called Wanda,l
and Out is below par for Kline.
A tremendous supportingcas
accompanies Kline. Cusackdel
ers In and Out’s most memoraki
role. Her character’s mental
fragility and sexual confusion
bring out Cusack’s tremendous
acting abilities. Her actingtowar;
the end of the film is the bestfe
male comedic performancesof
the year. The audience seesthi
woman who wants the simple
things in life. What this woman
needs is a good circus; send in
the clowns.
Debbie Reynolds, Tom Selled
and Wilford Brimley all con
tribute to the ensemble cast,
the glimpses of them are too
small to be satisfying.
Frank Oz, of Muppet fame,
rects the film with the crisp it
and brightness it deserves.\\T:
he does not flinch at In and Oil
subject matter, he does treatii
lightly, as a comedy should be
treated.
In the end, In and Ozrf just
does not add up. A promising
cast, a legendary director anda
funny premise should delivera
solid movie. The only thing thi
delivered is a limp film.
