Description

In this contemporary American adaptation of the 1978 outrageous French farce La Cage Aux Folles, the story centers on the life of a middle-aged, flamboyant gay couple...Armand and Albert...in the eclectic community of South Beach, Florida, who have raised a straight son. The son announces his engagement to the daughter of a right-wing U.S. senator, and wants to bring his fiancee and her ultraconservative parents home to meet his family for the first time. What choice is there but to accept his decision with love! So Armand and Albert must pretend to be very straight by attempting to play out the roles of your typical heterosexual "husband" and "wife"! Easier said than done...

    Robin Williams at his very very best, just goes to prove that he was the best comedy actor - ever. Nathan Lane also puts in an excellent performance, even better than his other film "The Mouse Hunt" which also starred Lee Evans. I've now seen this film five times, and never have got bored of watching it, and never will do. Sadly Robin Williams is no longer with us - RIP.

    Having just watched it again after several years, although some of the references are dated, it still makes me/us laugh at the brilliant camp portrayal. I look forward to coming back to it again at a future date no doubt.

    A light-hearted comedy with great acting all around. Ideal for a couple of hours of fun.
