Robin Williams stars as Armand Goldblum the owner of "The Birdcage" a gay bar and his partner Albert is the main star "Starina" played by Nathan Lane. Armands son wants to get married and his fiancé's father is a Conservative Senator played by Gene Hackman. His co founder of a moral Christian group id found dead in the bed of an underage black prostitute and to distance themselves they decide to go see her fiancee and his parents. There daughter has told them that his father is a cultural attache to Greece and his mother is a housewife. Chaos ensues has Albert tries to man up and the apartment has to be toned down. Armand and his son decide to get his biological mother to help out but she is late and so Albert dresses up to step up. The dinner is a disaster and when the senator and his wife find out the truth they go to leave just as journalists turn up. The senator can't leave or it will be all over the news so Albert has a plan. So they all get out dressed in drag which is hilarious especially Gene Hackman.
The chemistry between Williams and Lane is great and the scenes in the apartment during dinner are so funny.
Hank Azara is also in it has the Goldblum's houseboy and his performance is hilarious and so is his accent. Thoroughly enjoyed it
