Welcome to Greenleaf, a picture-perfect Indiana town where the high school is the proud focus of attention. On the night of the Oscars telecast, the town's center of attention is Greenleaf teacher Howard Brackett when a former student, who's now a winning actor, tells the audience of millions that Howard is gay. Kevin Kline plays stunned Howard, who scrambles to go forth with his wedding to devoted Emily (Joan Cusack) and assert his manliness. (Showtime)

Prioritize:
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%.
