I loved the French film La Cage Aux Folles when it was made and The Birdcage is a wonderful remake. Both films are worth owning.
Whenever I need a laugh, I watch The Birdcage because every performance is spot on. It makes you laugh until you cry and it makes you cry because the love of the two men for their "son" is so poignant. Both versions of the story are highly entertaining.

The Birdcage is a hilarious look at the life of a homosexual couple living above their club in Miami Beach. When their son comes to visit, he shares that he is engaged to be married and that his fiance's family is coming to meet them. The movie then centers around the hilarious transformation that the Goldman family goes through to "de-homosexualize" their home and appearances.
The most admirable character in this movie is Albert, the overly dramatic and effeminate drag queen. He is beloved by everyone in the community, as demonstrated by his visit to the market, and doesn't abandon who he is even when the conservative Republican family comes to their home. Albert is not ashamed of who he is and doesn't change himself to please anyone else.
The Birdcage addresses and pokes fun at the issue of homosexuality, but the underlying message is more profound than noticed at first glance.

I love this movie. I was so happy to be able to order it at a good price and receive it in a timely manner. I recommend not only the dvd version but ordering it from this vendor.

I love this movie! I remember seeing it in the movie theaters when it came out. The cast is hilarious and so is the plot.

The more I watch "Birdcage" the more it annoys me. The REALLY slow pacing of the story, not to mention the absolutely obnoxious son of two gay men who seem so I'll suited to one another, and Nathan Lane's over-the-top, whinning queen act get tired very fast. What exactly is so funny about two gay men having to hide everything about themselves to please a hateful, right-wing Republican? So if you're a straight, WASP-ish Republican bigot, then all is good? Why do gay men always have to be the brunt of the joke? Maybe straight audiences in 1996 thought this was hysterical, but in 2008 it's just plain old.
