MCT:August 1, 2008Stereotypes abound here, but both Nathan Lane and Robin Williams are at their best when they're completely over the top. It flirts between slapstick and awkward comedy and the balance is perfect. Added with a great supporting cast of charactar actors, it'd be a wonder if you were able to sit through this without laughing out loud once...

MCT:July 31, 2008The American remake of the Frnech story of a wedding, a gay Dad, and his soon to marry straight Son. Not nearly as funny as the first. Hollywood version of the French film misses something in translation.

This is a pretty damn funny movie, but a little dangerous in that it courts all sorts of gay stereotypes without even attempting to break the mold. I think viewers who are LGBT-savvy will probably laugh more at it than with it for its relative ignorance - Nathan Lane plays gay so over-the-top that the returns diminish very quickly and the whole thing starts to get sort of awkward.
My diversity in film teacher made some interesting observations about how safe The Birdcage is for a large portion of the movie-going public. It compartmentalizes the gays and the straights, no homosexual affection is really depicted short of handholding and quick kisses, and it offers up a Guess Who's Coming to Dinner-style ending where the relief of tensions seems superficial at best. Not much is learned here by either party. And the son is a real douche.
Anyway, I guess this is a funny comedy if you can bring yourself to look at this one tiny, often-lampooned aspect of gay life for an hour and a half. -
It was wicked funny but a little weird because it was about gays and drag queens. Robin Williams was one of the main characters and was hilarious!

I've seen it twice and always makes me laugh. Ok, it has a lot of stereotypes but that's probably the point. Oh, Nathan Lane, my lady! ;D

Such a hilarious storyline and i thought Robin Williams was such a great homosexual in this. So was his "spouse"

How can you not laugh at this movie. EVERYONE in this does such a great job. Agador Spartacus rocks lol! Gene Hackman in drag does not.

um dos meus primeiros contatos com o mundo dos gays engraçados, chiques e libertários... praticamente cachorrinhos de estimação. mas, ok, o filme é engraçado... MUITO engraçado.
-
MCT:January 12, 2008I've probably seen this movie about a hundred times, and I still laugh just as hard as I did the first time I watched it. Nathan Lane has never been funnier, but it's Hank Azaria that really steals the show.

A gay cabaret owner and his drag queen companion agree to put up a false straight front so that their son can introduce them to his fiancé's right-wing moralistic parents.

over-the-top and hilarious. absolutely perfect casting. witty, intelligent, chaotic, and just the right amount of obnoxious. certainly not a favorite of mine, but it's definitely entertaining.

Highly hilarious. It even contains the sutle postures that modern movies lack. However, due to the uncomfortably of the theme, I take half a mark off and thus it gets what Im giving it.

5/5 stars for Nathan Lane's performance! 4/5 stars for the excellent chemistry between Robin Williams and Nathan. I would even give Hank Azaria a big thumbs up for his performance as Agador. Unfortunately, their performances alone weren't enough to save the movie from sinking towards the 2nd half of the movie, when the whole premise became too draggy.

I thought this was a great movie, even though Robin Williams' character is gay. But if you can put aside the "gay bashing" stereotyping, you'll actually enjoy this movie with laughs that make you need stitches later.
