Distributor:MGM
 
Starring:Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane
 
Synopsis
Mike Nichols' hilarious reworking of the classic French farce La Cage
aux Folles is a treat, spiced up with additional moments of contemporary
political satire. Nathan Lane and Robin Williams are marvelous as two
gay lovers who run a South Beach nightclub featuring Lane's female
impersonations. Williams has a grown son from a previous marriage, who
is engaged to the daughter of a stodgy right-wing politician (Gene Hackman).
When it comes time for the two families to meet, the fur flies in an uproariously
funny dinner scene which is the film's highlight. Also featuring a wonderful turn
by Hank Azaria as Williams' flamboyant chef, whose attempts at "butching it
up" for the dinner go scandalously awry, The Birdcage is a delightfully engaging
comedy. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
