The Birdcage

Director Mike Nichols remake of La Cage Aux Folles, with Robin Williams as a subdued South Beach night club owner who's forced to ask his flamboyant, drag-queen lover to hide away while his son brings his future in-laws; an ultra-conservative couple for dinner. Hilarious and fresh, also starring Dianne Wiest, Gene Hackman, Hank Azaria and Christine Baranski. Running time: 119 minutes.
