Review: Nathan Lane keeps it going. Helen Hunt's husband plays the faithful houseman and should have won an oscar for his perormance!!! I was in the fetal position with laughter. You have to buy it!!!

Summary: Absolutely hilarious!
Review: I purchased this DVD having seen this movie many times before. I just had to have it on DVD. I was very happy to see both sides of the disc utilized. One for pan & scan, and the other in letterbox. Nevertheless, the movie is histerical, and Nathan Lane plays a VERY GOOD queen. He is queenier than the girliest queens I know. Absolutely wonderful. I will continue to watch this movie in the future. As far as the 8-page booklet which is supposed to ship with the video, it doesn't exist. No biggie though.

Summary: Great Robin Williams
Review: This is a much better representation (and funnier) than the "alternative lifestyle" set than In and Out. Much funnier, too.

Summary: You can't go too wrong with Robin Williams:)
Review: 'The Birdcage' is simply hysterical. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane are great as a gay couple who find themselves in a madcap family situation. There is no liberal whining in this movie, which relieved me greatly! What there are are laughs, and lots of them, from way down in your belly where the best ones live:)

Review: Sexist, homophobic and violent, though it is funny and has some grate camera work (the opening shot is a gem).

Rating:
Summary: The first half dragged but the climax made it worth it
Review: If you want to see the funniest scene of people pretending to be what they're not, this is the movie. The first half of the movie only existed to give background about the story. But the dinner scene is classic. You will be laughing so hard, your stomach will hurt. The two leads are highly credible gays. It's also about how all of us wish our parents were different.

Summary: I Haven't Stopped Laughing.
Review: I paid to see this movie three times in the theatre and bought it the day it came out on video. You have to love it. It's funny. That's all you need to say. Robin Williams is brilliant. If you don't already love Nathan Lane, you will when you see this movie. Hank Azaria makes you laugh even when he doesn't say anything. This movie proved Calista Flockhart a star long before anyone heard of Ally McBeal.

Summary: Boooooring...
Review: I can't believe this movie is so well known. I guess it all has to do with the subject matter and not the movie. People think, "Wow, drag queens, it must be funny." I don't think I laughed more than twice during the entire ordeal. When this movie wasn't boring it was sentimental. Robin Williams does his usual mugging one moment and cries the next. I hated the character of the selfish, bossy son and the way everyone bends to his every whim. I can understand the character of Albert being a little whiny and needy but he was just overdone by Nathan Lane. The whole thing was just too stereotypical to me. It could have used a little slapstick or some TRUE absurdity. There are much better mistaken identity type films out there.
