Reviews
Mine: Very funny remake of a not that funny original. Hank Azaria steal several scenes as the man servant. Nathan Lane does a great job. Wonderful climax.
Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: Polished if obvious remake of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES will please anyone who hasn't seen or doesn't remember the original: Williams is fairly subdued as a South Beach, Miami, nightclub owner who's forced to ask his high-strung, drag-queen performer/partner (Lane) to hide away while his son brings his prospective in-laws--an ultra-conservative couple--to dinner. Screenplay by Elaine May, who added fresh lines to the foolproof blueprint of the original.

(out of 5 stars)		 One of my top ten favorites. Wonderful ensemble cast doing they they do best. The writing is as crisp as the performances.
