12/21: In & Out is one of those movies that were good back then but are stupid now.

In the pseudo Oscar-winning clip, Matt Dillon gives a horrendous performance; in comparison, he was way better in Crash. Either it must have been a weak year or the quality of acting has degraded so much that it requires no effort anymore. Now, what's with his laughable NSYNC look?

Mustache-less Tom Selleck's appearance is even worse. He used to be Thomas Magnum? On the other hand, who the fuck finds Joan Cusack attractive? Anyone who plans to marry her must be getting a beard instead of an actual wife.

When Peter Malloy told Howard Brackett, "Yep, you are gay," I suddenly hated the movie. It feels so forced and inappropriate because of the multitude of stereotypes. Only the guy himself will be the judge of it. By the way, the Oscar given to Kevin Kline in the film was really his from A Fish Called Wanda.

All in all, In & Out can sometimes be fresh and funny but, on the whole, doesn't work and is more offensive than anything.
