Howard Brackett's high school English students are astonished. Is it really true that their favorite high school teacher may be gay? But hey, he can't be gay; he's about to get married! Then again, he also teaches the drama class and boy, does he love those Barbra Streisand records... It all happened to Howard faster than you could say "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." One of his former students became a Hollywood superstar, and clumsily called Howard's sexuality into question -- on the Academy Awards telecast, no less. Instantly Howard's tranquil life in Greenleaf, Indiana has turned upside down. Greenleaf has now become the scene of a media-feeding frenzy with Howard as bait. Peter Malloy, a slick and aggressive TV reporter, is determined to move in for the kill and get Howard to speak the truth. Meanwhile, Howard is only days away from his wedding to Emily Montgomery, the fiancee he's managed to hold at bay a full three years. (official distributor synopsis)

Straightforward, simple humor that nonetheless never falls below the threshold of good taste and surprisingly worked well for me. Pleasant cast and respectable acting icons. Overall impression: 70%.
