Summary: Review of Birdcage
Comment: I always thought that the movie was greatest movie of Robin Williams. I had been looking for aDVD of the movie for quite sometime now but was always looking in stores who carried DVD's. Then it dawned on me. Look on Amazon.com. I'm glad I did.

Comment: The movie is one of Robin Williams better movies. I also liked the role that Gene Hackman played. Nathen Lane was great in his role.

Summary: John Wayne's BEST
Comment: Oddly, I can't stand the stars of this film. Robin Williams exudes an arrogance that is so annoying to me that I can't watch him. Nathan Lane is a bore. Hackman is an old favorite, but other that that, there isn't anyone is in this picture who is a favorite. Yet, I love this picture and think Williams and Lane together are brilliant. Only in this picture do I think Williams' peculiar talent for pretentiousness really works. He's a show-off type, a pseudo-intellectual, and a gifted mimic. Here it all combines into a role that makes sense. Lane has an essentially weak personality. One sees this in "The Producers." Without a strong Robin Williams type to play against, he disappears. In this, again, he is better than good - he is brilliant. Both are talented physical artists, whose small gestures really work well in their various efforts to appear masculine. Conflict, it is said, is the source of humor. The story line, of course, is all conflict, wonderful conflict. The writing is strong. Hackman has a wonderful monologue, spewing utter nonsense about the countryside and patriotism. It is pure genius. Overall, this is one of the best comedies of the decade, silly yet topical and fresh.

Summary: One of the funniest comedies ever made, and one of my favorites!
Comment: It never fails. No matter what mood I am in, this film can make me laugh till I cry. I can be in the nastiest, most foul mood ever, pop in this DVD, and laugh my head off. It never gets old, either. Watching the entire cast at the top of their game is quite a treat. Mike Nichols struck comic gold with this film in 1996. I saw it in the theatres when it came out, and it has been a favorite of mine ever since! Why this film wasn't nominated for several Oscars is beyond me. You'll never see a funnier comedy of errors than this! Well, some of you may disagree, but as far as I am concerned, this film takes the cake!
For those who are offended by the subject matter, get over yourself and watch the film. Give it a chance. You may find yourself rolling in the floor.
