Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: The great improvisational comedy team of Mike Nichols and Elaine May reunited to (respectively) direct and write this update of the French comedy La Cage Aux Folles. Robin Williams stars as a gay Miami nightclub owner who is forced to play it straight and ask his drag-queen partner (Nathan Lane) to hide out when Williams's son invites his prospective--and highly conservative--in-laws and fiancée to a meet-and-greet dinner party. Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest play the straight-laced senator and his wife, and Calista Flockhart (from television's Ally McBeal) plays their daughter in a culture-clash with outrageous consequences. May's witty screenplay incorporates some pointed observations about the political landscape of the 1990s and takes a sensitive approach to the comedy's underlying drama. Topping off the action is Hank Azaria in a scene-stealing role as Williams's and Lane's flamboyant housekeeper, "Agador Spartacus." --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great!Brand new movie, still in packaging. I watched the movie the same night I received it. The DVD was in perfect condition. I received this movie shortly after I ordered. The delivery was fast! Rating: - Review of BirdcageI always thought that the movie was greatest movie of Robin Williams. I had been looking for aDVD of the movie for quite sometime now but was always looking in stores who carried DVD's. Then it dawned on me. Look on Amazon.com. I'm glad I did. Rating: - Review of the BirdcageThe movie is one of Robin Williams better movies. I also liked the role that Gene Hackman played. Nathen Lane was great in his role. Rating: - John Wayne's BESTOddly, I can't stand the stars of this film. Robin Williams exudes an arrogance that is so annoying to me that I can't watch him. Nathan Lane is a bore. Hackman is an old favorite, but other that that, there isn't anyone is in this picture who is a favorite. Yet, I love this picture and think Williams and Lane together are brilliant. Only in this picture do I think Williams' peculiar talent for pretentiousness really works. He's a show-off type, a pseudo-intellectual, and a gifted mimic. Here it ...

I can be in the nastiest, most foul mood ever, pop in this DVD, and laugh my head off. It never gets old, either. Watching the entire cast at the top of their game is quite a treat. Mike Nichols struck comic gold with this film in 1996. I saw it in the theatres when it came out, and it has been a favorite of mine ever since! Why this film wasn't nominated for several Oscars is beyond me. You'll never see a funnier ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
