I know that wasn't the intent, but the idea that a nearly middle aged man could have gone through life apparently never questioning his sexuality until one of his students "out" him on television for no reason and he decides it must be true because he fits various stereotypes...yeah, I thought it was really silly.

[(Anonymous)]

+1 There are some people who have realizations about their sexuality and start to explore it more later in life, but I kind of hate how everyone else has to tell him he's gay. The fact that they use stereotypical crap like a love of Barbara Streisand to back it up is just annoying.

Although I actually did really like some of the scenes. I thought Kevin Kline did do a good job with the whole admitting he was gay at the altar thing and made it believable.

I don't think it was the fact that people TOLD him he was gay that made him question that he might have been , I think it was the fact that when Tom Selleck's character kissed him, he liked it....enough to wrap his leg around the guy's thigh. And then that whole scene with the CD where he dances with such carefree abandon, that probably contributed to it as well. But yeah, there was some ridiculous tropes going on in that movie, like the Barbra thing.

I love that movie. I thought Joan Cusack was a riot.

[darknyss.livejournal.com]

Hm. Now that I think about it, anon has a point.

[swaggerdoodle.livejournal.com]

All of this. People are allowed to explore their sexuality but the stereotypes in this movie made it seem like he was just caving to pressure.

[arcadiaego.livejournal.com]

It's one of those films where I appreciate the sentiment but the execution is so simplistic it's laughable. I prefer the Joan Cusack storyline. :D

[vertigomac.livejournal.com]

I remember this movie for Joan Cusack stomping around in a wedding dress... "is anybody in this town STRAIGHT!?!"

Anyway, silly late 90's movie, trying to make the gays not so scary. But I thought Kevin Kline's character came to his final revelation when he kissed Tom Sellack. Didn't KK spend a lot of the film actively trying to fight this? Like the "gay deprograming" tape?

It's been awhile.

[luxshine.livejournal.com]

This. For me, it's not about the stereotypes... in fact, a lot of other people in town fit the stereotypes (Wasn't the mailman who started the fight about Barbra?), but that when he kissed Tom Selleck, he felt something that he didn't feel when he was with Cusack.

And yes, KK spent a lot of the movie fighting that, right up to the wedding when he realized he couldn't do that to her.

(And yes, silly late 90's movie. I prefer Jeffrey as a gay movie from the same timeframe, and the same writer)

[vertigomac.livejournal.com]

Shit, I forgot Paul Rudnick wrote this!

[beeblebabe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I always thought that, too!

[twyla-hime.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It sure did seem that way...*shrug*

[xanykaos.livejournal.com]

It's a product of its time, and it meant well, but...yeah, it always kind of bugged me.

Mostly because, well, my best friend is a very, very straight guy...and between the two of us, he has the more feminine behaviors.

I guess I get kind of antsy when people have to enforce gender stereotypes and say: "Men are like THIS, and if they're not like THIS, then they're probably gay!" And also, any variant of "All gay men are like THIS!" It's awkward.
