1) DVD DVD The Birdcage by MGM (Video & DVD). I love this movie! I remember seeing it in the movie theaters when it came out. The cast is hilarious and so is the plot.¤ 2) DVD DVD The Birdcage by MGM (Video & DVD). The more I watch "Birdcage" the more it annoys me. The REALLY slow pacing of the story, not to mention the absolutely obnoxious son of two gay men who seem so I´ll suited to one another, and Nathan Lane´s over-the-top, whinning queen act get tired very fast. What exactly is so funny about two gay men having to hide everything about themselves to please a hateful, right-wing Republican? So if you´re a straight, WASP-ish Republican bigot, then all is good? Why do gay men always have to be the brunt of the joke? Maybe straight audiences in 1996 thought this was hysterical, but in 2008 it´s just plain old.¤ 3) DVD DVD The Birdcage by MGM (Video & DVD). 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!¤ 4) DVD DVD The Birdcage by MGM (Video & DVD). I 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.¤ 5) DVD DVD The Birdcage by MGM (Video & DVD). The movie is one of Robin Williams better movies. I also liked the role that Gene Hackman played. Nathen Lane was great in his role.¤ 6) DVD DVD The Birdcage by MGM (Video & DVD). Lies and deceptionit´s all in the family when Robin Williams must convince his future in-laws that he´s as upstanding and uptight as they are in "the funniest comedy you´ll see this year" (Gene Shalit, "Today Show"). Co-starring Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane, Dianne Wiest, Christine Baranski and Calista Flockhart, The Birdcage is an uproarious comedy that will send your spirits soaring. Armand (Williams) and Albert (Lane) have built the perfect life for themselves tending to their gaudy Miami nightclub. But their pastel tranquility is shaken when Armand´s son announces that he´s getting married to the daughter of ultra-conservative Senator Keeley (Hackman)...and they´re all getting together for dinner! Can Armand and Albert transform themselves into Mr.and Mrs. Family Values in time? It´ll take the performance of their lives, but they´ll do anythingand everythingto pull the chiffon over Keeley´s eyes!¤ 7) DVD DVD The Birdcage by MGM (Video & DVD). 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¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
