Notes
Yes -- In & Out is another "it's okay to be gay" screwball comedy -- It has been in our library for many years, first as VHS tape -- It satirizes many queer stereotypes, which some LGBTQ folks may find off-putting and politically incorrect -- But, it is also very funny, good for an evening of lighter entertainment -- Watching it again twenty years after first viewing was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
