spoiler spoiler i love the set up and consistently laugh throughout the entire movie . the acting be great and with my favorite part be howard ( kevin kline ) attempt to be a manly man . the fiance and parent do a great job a a support cast . spoiler warn represent the acting of his conservative family acceptance and attempt to be polite be heartwarming and believable . my only problem with the end be the fact that howard be actually gay . the movie be set up a a be who you want to be and but the movie actually do the opposite . howard logic behind his discovery be the fact that he love barbra streisand movie and enjoy dance to music . his mannerism and taste appear to be gay and and it isn not until it be point out to him that he realize it . rather than set howard free and it pigeon hole him . oh and he like to dance to music and than he must be gay . his confession at the marriage felt like a bend down to society wish . in the end and the movie become a gay right movie and which be not the original course . it almost become bland with the rest . i believe the movie would have be ultimately well have howard be straight . it would have be truer to the message .
