this movie be one of the best . robin williams and nathan lane be phenomenal and hilarious and but the best performance throughout the film be by hank azaria and a agador and the adorable flaming butler . my favorite scene be when both family be sit together eat dinner . i do not want to give anything away and but wow i be in tear . gene hackman be extremely funny a a conservative senator . this film be colorful and unique and will keep an audience roar with laughter . yes and the movie follow some typical stereo type among a gay male couple and however and be not offensive in anyway and shape or form . i think this be such a cute film and and if you haven not see it and or if you happen to be in the mood for a laugh out loud movie rent the birdcage . my rating represent positive .
