Lack of good storyline.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Just reading the plot line of this film, I knew they had the right cast with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. However, Hank Azaria really steals every scene he is in and is a hilarious side character. The film does feel a bit slow in the beginning, but makes up for it in the end. The comedy really hits a homer in during the climatic dinner scene. It may not be one of my favourite Robin Williams films, but it is one of my favourite Williams characters. This film is also way ahead of its time tackling issues that still plague us like gay rights, abortion and racism. A great opposing dynamic between the two families. Very funny and topical film that will make you feel good by the end while laughing your ass off!

This is not a show for everybody but if nothing in the description offends you, it is a must see show.Birdcage has great eye candy, a fabulous cast, some fun tunes AND they smear the funny on thick.It's a comedy, there's not much else to it. If you're looking for something other than a gorgeous Flockhart and side-splitting laughter, uhm ... I don't know, shut-up and watch it anyway.I can watch this yearly.

I love the late Robin Williams;Here,we see him at his very comedic best.The great part of the film is dancing,comic humor and sheer folly.The saying "laughter is good medicine" has truth and meaning with this wonderful film.

I absolutely love this movie! I've watched it I don't know how many times. It makes me laugh and cry. It's a wonderful story of love and family. The cast is brilliant, the writing is inspired ("2 words -- green card", "I'm the only one not from a broken home.", "It's porno, not pronto." among others), the bits are extraordinary (Nathan Lane as John Wayne!!!). The characters have depth and interest. The costuming and sets, the historical setting, along with the supporting cast all contribute to the overall excellence of the movie. It doesn't really matter whether it's set in a drag bar, though, obviously, that adds a certain quirky element to the story. Who didn't love Hank Azaria's Guatamalaness?
