(Gretchen Vanduzer-ludovice, 2009-09-25) This movie was so funny and the scenes in the movie just took my breathe away.
(Christopher W. Humphrey, 2009-09-22) If any comedies with Kevin Kline have gone wrong, this Frank Oz (!) vehicle isn't one of them. With a plot that could have gone to absurdity, this is a charmer that actually is a heart-warmer as well. Kevin veers between calm and nervous breakdown as the news spreads, Joan Cusack delivers a character in Emily that's fun to watch ("IS EVERYBODY GAY!!!???") and even Bob Newhart delivers some deadpan laughs. Oh, did I mention the only really steamy kiss in the film belongs to Kline and Tom Selleck? (whoa)And Kevin's dance number to "I Will Survive" is priceless. This is a good way to spend 90 minutes.
(One-Line Film Reviews, 2009-02-05) The Bottom Line: In and Out is humming along merrily before a gut-wrenchingly awful scene in the school's auditorium grinds the pleasantly-amusing comedy to a screeching halt; if I think a little I can remember the scenes in the film that made me laugh, but the first thing that comes to mind is that shamelessly terrible and agonizingly long sequence near the end.
(N. W. Carle, 2008-10-21) An amusing and tender-hearted take on self-discovery and acceptance of differences. Every cast member is terrific: Kline at his best, Cusack incredibly funny, Reynolds seniorly sparkling, and Newhart -- well, Newhart.
(ADRIENNE MILLER, 2008-10-18) In & Out starring Kevin Kline is a pretty tame and predictable film. Kline is a talented actor so his performance is clever and memorable but the plot and jokes fall flat, everyone raved about this film when it was released in 1997, but I found this "coming out" story completely shallow and lifeless. Matt Dillion is also good in this, wish his character was in the film more. So-so comedy that left me bored, decide for yourself.
