The Birdcage
Lies and deceptionit's all in the family when Robin Williams must convince his future in-laws that he's as upstanding and uptight as they are in "the funniest comedy you'll see this year" (Gene Shalit, "Today Show"). Co-starring Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane, Dianne Wiest, Christine Baranski and Calista Flockhart, The Birdcage is an uproarious comedy that will send your spirits soaring. Armand (Williams) and Albert (Lane) have built the perfect life for themselves tending to their gaudy Miami nightclub. But their pastel tranquility is shaken when Armand's son announces that he's getting married to the daughter of ultra-conservative Senator Keeley (Hackman)...and they're all getting together for dinner! Can Armand and Albert transform themselves into Mr.and Mrs. Family Values in time? It'll take the performance of their lives, but they'll do anythingand everythingto pull the chiffon over Keeley's eyes! more

The Bottom Line:A delightful comedy that's also one of the few remakes to hold a candle to the original, The Birdcage is consistently funny (often side-splittingly so) while also managing to be warm and smart; also notable for featuring...

The Birdcage starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane is a funny film but not the best. This film is a bit dated and you kind of lose interest after an hour. Calista Flockhart stars in this as well, pre-Ally McBeal. This comedy is a mixed...

- Gets More Annoying With Time
The more I watch "Birdcage" the more it annoys me. The REALLY slow pacing of the story, not to mention the absolutely obnoxious son of two gay men who seem so I'll suited to one another, and Nathan Lane's over-the-top, whinning queen act...
