An outrageous remake of the classic French farce La Cage Aux Folles! Williams and Lane are hilarious as a gay couple pretending to be straight in order to please Williams’ son’s ultra conservative future in-laws (Hackman and Dianne Wiest). Can they pull it off? Calista Flockhart is their prospective daughter-in-law and Hank Azaria gives a scene-stealing performance as their flamboyant houseboy.

TOP CRITICS'S REVIEWS

 

Fresh: It undoubtedly remains a genial crowd pleaser. If the dress fits, wear it.

-Caroline Westbrook, Empire Magazine, May 29, 2011
 

Fresh: Colourful, camp, beautifully acted and brimming with gags, Mike Nichols The Birdcage sits comfortably in Hollywood's canon of unchallenging, 'It's OK to be gay' films.

-, Film4, May 29, 2011
 

Fresh: This isn't the supreme masterpiece it might have been, but Nichols's direction is very polished and some of the lines and details are awfully funny.

-Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader, May 29, 2011
 

Fresh: If The Birdcage isn't exactly the Mike Nichols-Elaine May movie of our dreams, it does manage to transform what was formerly a campy bit of French fluff into one of the loopiest, most hysterical family-values movies ever made.

-Hal Hinson, Washington Post, May 27, 2011
