Additional InformationIn Mike Nichols's hilarious remake of the 1978 French comedy LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, Robin Williams stars as Armand Goldman, a gay cabaret owner who lives in Miami's South Beach with his partner, Albert (Nathan Lane), the club's star performer. Armand and Albert must try in vain to pass as a typical couple when the prospective in-laws of Armand's son, Val (Dan Futterman), come for dinner. While accepting their alternative lifestyle personally, Val demands that they tone it down for his girlfriend's (Calista Flockhart) parents--who happen to be a political couple running on a family values platform. Lane's hilarious attempts to "play it straight" and Hank Azaria's brilliantly flamboyant houseboy, Agador, are the highlights of the film, which also features a beautifully understated Williams as the more "normal" of the pair. Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest are delightfully square as the future in-laws.
ReviewsVariety - ...THE BIRDCAGE is a scream....Performed with matchless aplomb and made with plush professionalism....[The film] serves up pure pleasure..., USA Today - "...A nicely restrained Williams lets Nathan Lane as his high-strung diva companion rule the roost in this fluttery, funny [film]..." -- 3 out of 4 stars", Entertainment Weekly - "Enchantingly funny....The beauty of THE BIRD CAGE is that its jokes and its message are one and the same..." -- Rating: A-

  • Great Dvd

    This is a great Robin Williams Dvd, if you are a fan you will love it, all the cast are brilliant , all a bit out of the norm but this is what is so good about it. Highly recommend.

  • Acting good, writing and directing poor

    The characters were excellent let down by the writing/directing. It didn't flow as it should and much, much more could have been made from the basic premis.

  • Birdcage

    Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, show skill and experience are second nature to them in this amazing comedy that also shows that prejudice is still out there.

  • The Birdcage is a wonderful funny film.

    Great performances from a stellar cast. Robin Williams gives his usual quick fire performance but I preferred Nathan Lane who is funny but with lovely touches of pathos and dignity amid the mayhem. Hank Azaria as Agador is amazing.
