In & Out

Hello, 1997! Kevin Kline stars as a high school English teacher in a small Indiana town. Only a few days before Howard (Kline) is supposed to get married, a hometown boy wins an Oscar and outs Howard as gay in his acceptance speech. As is expected in movies, Howard’s life turns upside down as everyone, including himself, struggles with his sexuality. Although the movie was entertaining and made me laugh, I like to think that fourteen years later we are more open to homosexuality and that this premise wouldn’t be successful now. Of course, I could just be an idealist.
