In And Out (1997) **

Flawed, but often hilarious comedy about homophobia. Inspired by Tom Hanks' Oscar-acceptance speech for "Philadelphia", it tells a story of a small-town teacher outed on national television by his former student. Comic highlights include: dialing a rotary phone, listening to a self-motivation audio tape and getting into a brawl over Barbra Streisand ("Yentl sucks !"). Tom Selleck steals the movie as an openly gay TV reporter.
