The best comedies mine cultural conflict for every possible laugh--as this film does by colliding big media and quiet small-town life. The fun comes not only in seeing the hero explain himself, but by watching woke big city people dictate how he should out himself. Kevin Kline continues to be the greatest (and most underrated) comic actor out there, simply by reacting to the farcical plot. The picture moves with grace and exudes a sweet nature throughout. Overlooked & highly recommended.

I thought this movie was hilarious when I saw it as a kid, but I recently rewatched it and I have to admit that it has aged badly. The climactic sequence with everyone in the auditorium proclaiming themselves to be gay is cheesy to a horrifying, peeking-at-the-screen-through-your-fingers degree. Still though, Kevin Kline is undeniably amusing, as is the dancing scene.

Who doesn't love Tom Selleck as a big gay bear, huh?

Kevin Kline seems to be able to make an average film better. An above average film with some heart as well as a few laughs.

having had a numeous amount of wonderful 90's actors, what could go wrong, aside from being a bit too overly dramatic, and underly fantastic, this is one of the great 90's counter-culter films while being with the times.

One of those weird movies I recent more than once from my very local, very small video store. I remember the basic plots and a few random specifics. I should watch it again as a full adult man to see if my tastes as a preteen were as impeccable as I assume they were.

Not the strongest script, short on laughs but high on charm mostly thanks to a likable cast.

A very funny comedy that tackles gay stereotypes in a manner that is both humourous and well-intentioned. Great performances all around, especially from Joan Cusack and Kevin Kline.
