The Birdcage

The Birdcage

Lies and deception - it's all in the family when Robin Williams must convince conservative in-laws Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest that he's as upstanding and uptight as they are in this raucously funny comedy.

Synopsis: A young man becomes engaged to the daughter of high-profile and very straight-laced politician, but when it's time for her parents to visit his childhood home in South Beach, Florida, there are a few family facts that have to be glossed over?his father's the owner of a gay cabaret and his "step-mother" is a histrionic, aging drag queen. Based on French farce La Cage Aux Folles (1978).
