    Hilarious story of gay men, one being a transsexual, who must put their lives on hold and dawn a facade of being a typical family for their son's young fiance and her ultra-conservative family. Hysterical from beginning to end!

    Although my theater professor would argue that this is the better, I love the American version best. Probably because of Williams and Lane, but this isn't bad.

    I was a little disappointed by the quality fo this production in comparision to the musical that hit Broadway. If you want a musical, this is not the movie for you...but this movie does showcase a moving story nonetheless. This is worth seeing once, but that's about ti in my book...

    Its amazing how similar and yet how really different this and the birdcage ( which was based on this) can be. This funny for different reasons then the birdcage is and yet the birdcage lifts whole scene and gets different laughs.

    I lovely film, and as camp as tits. I do think that Nathan Lane and Robin Williams out-shine these original stars, but this is a great movie.

    Hilarious french origianl copy of 'The Birdcage' is much better than its english remake. Everything is better the first time around, subtitles notwithstanding.

    A better film than the 1996 remake with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, though Williams' and Lane's extroverted comedic performances are more notable.
