We tend to laugh at the truth and scoff at the unbelievable. This is very well written with an interesting flow of words, making for a very good read.

Nathan Lane and Hank Azaria tore the top off the top.
And Gene Hackman played it so straight it hurt.
I love the film (and the original French version), but you impressed me by writing a real review. You get two thumbs up, and my vote--sorry no sixes left.
Best of luck.
Peace, Lee

Thanks for this great review, hw. I agree Lane and Azaria were both scene stealers. Robin was originally offered the Lane role, but decided on the more subdued role. I would love to see the outtakes or have been on the lots when filming. Thanks for your comments and vote...I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Smiles,
Indy :-)
Comment from Dean Kuch
Director Mike Nichols' 1996 hilarious comedy, "The Birdcage" is one of the funniest films I've ever seen. The late, great Robin Williams as a gay cabaret owner, and his drag queen partner, played to the hilt by Nathan Lane, has to be one of the best comedic duos in cinematic history. I don't recall doing much singing while I watched it, but I sure laughed until I cried!
Well one, good luck to you in the booth!

This was a very funny film and I can see why you say we will sing with laughter. You've used a proper review like language choice to tell about the cast's quality and the level of humour. Best of luck with voters.

Thanks so much, Mark, for taking the time to give my movie review a look and for sharing your thoughts. I like this contest and writing as a movie critic and trying to get as much about the film into a 5-7-5 format. I saw this movie earlier in the week for the umpteenth time and it still made me sing with laughter. Thank you for your kind comments.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)
Comment from poetadeu
You have a strong opening line showing the cast
is first-rate. The second line confirms that
the comedy is over the top...much laughter.
Then the line comes that makes one know that
this is a really great comedy with continuous
humor to keep you in side bursting laughter.
Best wishes...

To think of Robin Williams and all the roles he played from Mork and Mindy to Night at the Museum brought back many memories of laughter-filled evenings. Your critique is perfect.

Thanks so much, Alan, for your kind review and comments. I love all of Robin movies. The humor in The Birdcage between him and Nathan Lane is so much fun. Robin was offered the role portrays by Lane, but he wanted the more subdued role. Thanks for reading, reviewing, and im glad you liked this.
