the son is the biggest cinematic villain known to man
Madison 🎭May 10, 2019when they told agador to put on some straight looking clothes and he showed up in a white crop top with “STRAIGHT LOOKING” written across the front...a true lgbtq icon
eelyAug 17, 2014The heart-warming tale of a lovely gay couple who must overcome having an asshole straight son. This could have been cringe-inducing but it's a winner.
Nathan Rabin - Sep 3, 2017
robin williams' full-bodied horror when he walks back into the room and gene hackman is talking about killing abortion doctors is just some of the all-time funniest acting ever

Joey Schmidt likedThe BirdcageHonestly, I think this movie is one of Robin William's most underrated films. The comedy and the story were both fun, the acting was great and I had a good time watching it all the way through. Would definitely watch again if I had the chance.

I loved it. So great seeing without commercials and how the big screen. Glad I saw the 1st performance so I can go again!
LAL AustinThis movie still delivers! So funny!!
KFKelle FrobergThe movie theater absolutely dropped the ball on this movie. It was 15 minutes overdue to start, didn't even begin until we informed an usher, and when it did start, it was being streamed via a Dish Business account! And...it was 30 minutes into the movie where it started.…

Didn’t get to see it when it first came out. Now, for me, it’s like a holiday movie. Watch it once a year.
LWLinda WondoloskiIt's my go-to movie when life gets me down. Always makes me smile.
RARuben AguilarFun and hilarious, great to see it on the big screen!!
Metacritic
What makes Mike Nichols' version more than just a retread is good casting in the key roles, and a wicked screenplay by Elaine May.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Everyone will be tickled pink by this sleek Mike Nichols remake.
David Ansen
Newsweek
The film is so boisterously entertaining that it's easy for the unsuspecting viewer not to realize that there's a message here.
