The Birdcage - Who Defines “Family Values”? - Pride Write-Off

by AliventiAsylum AliventiAsylum is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jun 26 '05
Pros: Nathan Lane, Robin Williams, story, humor
Cons: none
I always wonder when people talk about things as an idea or in the abstract if those on a certain side of an argument have any idea of how it plays out in reality. Same-sex marriage is one of those, as well as adoption of children by gays, whether one ...

Where are my PirinTablets? - Favorite Comedy Movie W/O -

by Kyra , Nov 16 '00
Pros: Heartwarming comedic performances given by the cast
Cons: No Sequel As of Yet!!
Laughter is truly the best medicine! Personally, I just love to laugh and to make people laugh as well. Being such a huge fan of comedy, it is hard to pick one favorite movie out of the hundreds on my list. After a little bit of thinking I...

The Birdcage: We are a Family

by mridula Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 20 '02
Pros: Good funny movie
Cons: I didn't notice
I just love the movie Bridcage, it handles a complex issue through comedy without trivializing it and that according to me it is quite a feat.

The movie is set in a drag nightclub in South beach and revolves around meeting of parents of...

THE BIRDCAGE : Nothing Special In This Cage

by princealessio , Sep 03 '01
Pros: Funny idea
Cons: Predictable, average performances
In my last review I wrote about racism. This film is about homosexuality. It's another hot topic that probably will never be solved. My take on it is like some others in that I feel that I dont agree with it but as long as it's kept to oneself I'm ok...

This Bird Almost Lays an Egg

by solleks , Aug 16 '01
Pros: Robin Williams, amusing dialogue, final thirty minutes.
Cons: Dan Futterman, first ninety minutes.
Armand (Robin Williams) and Albert (Nathan Lane) are just an ordinary couple. They adore their adult son, Val (Dan Futterman). They bicker about Armand’s wandering eye. They putter about their spacious phallic-themed apartment.

When night...

I Know Why The Birdcage Sings

by MrsNormanMaine Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 17 '01
Pros: Some wonderful ensemble comedic work. Gene Hackman dressed as Jean Harlow.
Cons: Will offend politically correct gays and lesbians or bigoted fundamentalists with no sense of humor.
During my morning perusal of 'E on line', I found a little item that has sent my usually serene blood pressure sky rocketing. Miss Margo Channing had granted an interview to some gossip monger announcing her return to the screen as Regina Giddens in...

The BirdCage: Senator Caught in Lewd Act

by disartain Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Apr 18 '00
Pros: Interesting roles for Williams and Hackman.
Cons: Some people might be offended by the over zealous acting.
Of all the comedies, I have watched this is the one I put on when I am feeling down. It never fails to make me laugh.

Robin Williams is an actor that can play all roles and he was in his prime as Armand Goldman the owner of a gay nightclub....

Birdcage ~ Dr. Laura woulda had a fit!

by susidee34 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, May 20 '00
Pros: Good cast of characters and great story line
Cons: ///////
Met with yet another dilemma, Mr. & Ms. Goldman must have the senator and his wife over for dinner. Generally not a problem, but Mrs. Goldman happens to be called Albert! And Mr. Goldman is Armand - the senator is a right-wing family values guy....

Life got ya down, tired of bad news followed by tense dramas with more bad news? Want to laugh, giggle at something not to...

A laugh a minute

by SurgRN911 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 15 '00
Pros: Very funny, great acting, lessons to learn
Cons: for the more mature audience.
Robin Williams once again shows just how diverse he can be with his acting. He portrays a gay man, and owner of a drag queen club. All seems to be going smoothly for the pair until Amand (played by Robin Williams)has a visit from his son from an...

"We Are Family"

by Dennari , Sep 24 '01
Pros: The humor, especially Nathan Lane.
Cons: Robin Williams could be more convincing. Dan Futterman's character.
As the camera pans in, focusing on a bunch of drag queens singing the song "We Are Family," nothing could be more symbolic of The Birdcage, and what a family this is.

Okay, so what do I mean? The whole movie focuses around a wedding of a...

I laughed my ( I ) off!

by AIXOISE , Jan 23 '00
Pros: HILARIOUS!
Cons: It isn't longer
Just saw this again on TV and I love it! It's one of those movies that I could watch over and over again, even edited. Actually, this was the first time that I had seen it edited for TV and there was at least one scene that I had not seen in the...

Really Makes You Laugh

by Bgoo5 , Jan 21 '00
Pros: Very Funny
Cons: Not For Children
I really love this movie because it is so funny. Not only is this a truly funny movie, but I also believe you can learn from it as well. Robin Williams does an excellent job in portraying Armand Goldman, a gay cabaret owner, and Nathan Lane was...

The Birdcage

by lskrzyniarz , Sep 23 '99
Pros: Great comedy and clever dialogue
Cons: A little over-the-top
I have been a huge fan of Robin Williams since he was Mork from Ork and consider him to be an amazing actor, especially when he's playing the straight man, so to speak. He is the god of comic timing and the BIRDCAGE showcases his comedic talent in a new...

Funny Stuff

by Gecki , Jan 02 '00
Pros: Funny and Basically Original
Cons: The Drag-Queens Could Have Been Funnier
Nathan Lane and Robin Williams prove that they can be very comical in this recent remake of La Cage Aux Folles. Williams plays Armand - the more butch of the two. And Lane plays Albert - the funnier. Most of the comedy in the movie is centered around...
