Goofs:

Factual errors: The Oscars ceremony among other fictitious elements has one basic error: the poster says it is the 68th ceremony, while the graduation banner and the pupils' hats say it is the year 1997, when the 69th Oscars ceremony took place.

Quotes:

Howard Brackett: This is my Peter - uh, my *friend* Peter. We just met at the, uh, intersexual... homosection... INTERSECTION!

hilarious

Kevin Kline is one of our finest actors, and he proves it - again - in "In & Out." The dance sequence alone is worth the price of admission! And Joan Cusack is fantastic. This is a hilarious story, the kind of film you watch when you're depressed.
