i remember see this a long while ago and and i know most of the concept and but no detail and so i be glad i watch it again and from director frank oz ( the muppets take manhattan and bowfinger ) . basically new star cameron drake ( matt dillon ) have just win the academy award for his late and where he play a gay soldier and and he do the usual thank yous and he even mention his past school english teacher howard brackett ( golden globe nominate kevin kline ) and and he out him a gay . howard be determine to clear his name and and get out of the medium spotlight a a denying gay man and especially a his marriage to emily montgomery ( oscar and golden globe nominate joan cusack ) be on the way . so it come to the wedding day and and when it come to howard say yes or no and that be when he out himself and and admits to himself and everyone and that he be gay . this of course get him fire a a teacher and but everyone stand at the graduation day to out themselves ( in support ) and and cameron even show up to clear thing up and so that everyone and especially school head tom halliwell ( elf bob newhart ) know it okay to be gay . also star tom selleck a peter malloy and debbie reynolds a berniece brackett and wilford brimley a frank brackett and gregory jbara a walter brackett and glenn close and whoopi goldberg and jay leno . the highlight of the film have to be when kline can not help dance to diana ross version of i will survive and that must have be what convince him of his sexuality . kline be always good and cusack be a surprise oscar nominee and and all support cast member do their bit too in this very funny comedy . very good .
