| Connor might do it as a joke, especially as a gay joke. However, in the show it's really only Connor's mother who believes (or wants to believe unconditionally) that her son wrote the letter. I actually knew a young guy in my office (decades ago, probably in the late 90's) who was straight but liked to send gay-sounding e-mails to other straight guys. He worked in customer service back then. Today he is a fairly well known comic/actor in Chicago. He appeared on Letterman twice, Chicago PD once, a couple of TV commercials, PBS, and the U. He's a good friend of mine. A lot of people in my office actually did think he was gay. If this actor friend of mine were younger, I could imagine him knocking the song "Sincerely Me" out of the park on YouTube. I might just suggest it to him. |

| Yes, but that happens toward the end of the movie. Initially only Cynthia Murphy and Larry have seen the letter. Cynthia gives the letter back to Evan in the principal's office. Cynthia is so overwrought at the loss of her troubled son, possibly on the verge of a nervous breakdown, that she isn't going to analyze the format of the letter. She wants to believe that Connor wrote it to Evan. I disagree with Roeper's analysis. | |

| ‘liked to send gay-sounding e-mails to other straight guys’ This “comic” fiend of yours sounds like a real laugh riot. However well known he is in Chicago he should stay there. 🙄 |

| No. He's a really nice guy, well-liked and respected in the Chicago community. The e-mails were not mean spirited. He would portray himself as faux-gay. He was only about 21 or so when he did stuff like that. The things he did reminded me of the e-mails that Jared concocts for his imaginary Connor. Jared suggests (jokingly) that Evan and Connor were secretly gay friends. The actual gay guys in our office were not offended by him. They thought he was funny and harmless. I wouldn't consider Jared's actions in Hansen to be offensive. He's funny. As I said before, David Letterman featured him on his show twice. |

| Would the waiters at the Harmonia Gardens, who haven't seen Dolly Levi for many years, really feel comfortable greeting her by her first name? Wouldn't it be frowned upon at a ritzy restaurant for the waiters to take that liberty? Shouldn't the title of the musical be, Hello Mrs Levi? | |
