Kevin Kline stars as the soon-to-be-married small town teacher who is outed by an ex-pupil-turned-Hollywood-star (Matt Dillon) during his televised Oscar acceptance speech. Inspired by Tom Hanks' Philadelphia acceptance speech (in which he thanked his gay professor), this has some very funny moments as Kline, his wedding-obsessed mother (Debbie Reynolds) and surprised fiancée (Joan Cusack) struggle with the fact he may be gay, and there's a nice supporting turn from Tom Selleck as the openly gay reporter who comes to town to cover the story. It's a light-hearted comedy from director Frank Oz, and thanks to Kline's sharp but moving performance, what could have been a stereotypical or even camp role is actually a fleshed out and sensitive one.

Enjoyable
This comedy has several laugh out loud moments.
Bob Newhart is excellent as the buttoned up School Principle & Kevin Kline excellent too.
It's not snide or anti-gay & not to be taken too seriously !
