Review of In & Out (1997) by Franz P — 27 Oct 2007
Gay stereotypes are abound in this movie but it works somehow. I found myself laughing at more than half of the jokes because I realized that this is supposed to be a light-hearted, fluffy film. I also know that this was released in 1997 so I think it makes a powerful statement on how gay people are seen back then as opposed to now.
When one really thinks about it, a lot of things have changed... yet a lot of things remained the same. The best character here that helped this film from sinking in its own narcissism is Joan Cusack's character.
She was freakin' hilarious in this movie as a fiance who is about to marry a gay guy. My favourite line of hers (among many) is "Is everybody gay?! Is this 'The Twilight Zone'?!" Her delivery of that line is spot-on.
Thinking about it now makes me snicker. If you're into gay movies, check this one out. It won't disappoint.
