The 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.

Honestly, 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.

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

The film is so boisterously entertaining that it's easy for the unsuspecting viewer not to realize that there's a message here.
