Watch: In & Out 1997 123movies, Full Movie Online – All of Greenleaf, Indiana is watching this year’s telecast of the Oscars as Hollywood heartthrob and local boy made good Cameron Drake has been nominated for his first ever Best Actor Oscar for his latest movie role as a gay soldier. Cameron’s high school English teacher Howard Brackett is overjoyed when Cameron wins the award and mentions Howard’s contribution in his acting life. That joy turns to horror when Cameron mentions to the worldwide audience that Howard is gay, especially horrific to Howard as he is engaged to fellow teacher Emily Montgomery, a woman with self-esteem issues as she had battled weight issues most of her life before she lost seventy-five pounds for the wedding. Howard’s life is totally disrupted as Hollywood media descends on Greenleaf in order to get Howard’s story. The rest of Greenleaf also openly wonders if Howard is indeed gay, as he exhibits many stereotypical gay tendencies, such as being neat, and loving music, dancing, poetry and Barbra Streisand. His cause is not helped in that his and Emily’s relationship has not yet been consummated. The one person not concerned is Emily, who trusts Howard. As Howard continues to deny being gay to his family, friends and colleagues, he begins to examine himself hypercritically if only because if others believe he’s gay, there may be some merit to the claim, as well as because of an incident that occurs with Hollywood reporter Peter Malloy, who is doing a week-long piece on Howard leading up to his and Emily’s wedding. But Cameron Drake may be able to provide some overall perspective to what is happening to Howard and the frenzy he has caused..
Plot: A midwestern teacher questions his sexuality after a former student makes a comment about him at the Academy Awards.

Light at heart for subject and comedy.
Frank Oz has done a wonderful job in directing this comedy that, for the 90s, is one notch above average. I believe the nineties was a gay decade (I have never seen so much publicity before it), and here comes a charming, sometimes funny view about it. Mind you, the main idea really came from Tom Hanks’ acceptance speech, where after winning the Academy Award for Philadelphia, he thanked his gay drama teacher. So imagine an English teacher, who loves sonnets and is getting married in three days, getting the same treatment. It’s a good set up.After being awarded an Oscar for the portrayal of a gay soldier, Cameron Drake thanks his English teacher for being his gay inspiration. Problem is, he’s not.
The way Kline tackles sexual preference is also how one would confront the ending of a relationship, which could be what this movie is about on a smaller level. Denial, anger, experimentation … it’s a much more thoughtful movie than others. Everyone gets a happy ending here on some level. Between the bachelor party and the masculinity assessment, I have to choose the guy’s night out as the funniest part in the film. In & Out is a good movie and I would recommend it if you were curious.
Still Laugh Out Loud Funny
Inspired by Tom Hanks’s tearful speech when he accepted his 1994 Oscar (for his role in Philadelphia), in which he mentioned his high-school drama coach Rawley Farnsworth, and his former classmate John Gilkerson, “two of the finest gay Americans, two wonderful men that I had the good fortune to be associated with.” Comes on of Hollywood’s first mainstream “Gay” comedies.Plot In A Paragraph: Howard Brackett (Kevin Kline) is a high school teacher with an attractive fiancé named Emily and respect from everyone. Everything changes in one night when a former high school student of his, named Cameron Drake (Matt Dillon), now a famous Hollywood actor wins an Academy Award for his portrayal of a homosexual army soldier and ‘outs’ Howard Brackett as his inspiration for his role. The media circus immediately begins as Howard desperately keeps protesting that he is not gay and that the whole thing is a simple misunderstanding.
All the cast do a great job, with the stand outs being Kevin Kline and Joan Cusack. Matt Dillon, Tom Selleck, Debbie Reynolds, Bob Newhart, and Wilford Brimley all give great support, and are a lot of fun. Joan Cusack (Whom I have loved since I first saw “Working Girl”) was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance, and can consider herself unlucky to lose to Kim Basinger for “L.A Confidential”.
The end is a bit weak, but that is only nit picking!! And it does not spoil the enjoyment of this movie.
