Review of The Birdcage (1996) by Matthew D — 13 Jul 2013
The hilarious gaiety and likability of Mike Nichol's hilarious gay comedy remake of a popular French musical farce is simply "FABULOUS!" Williams charms, but the real star of the show is Lane; a dramatic, camp, slightly mental and selfish drag queen who deserved an Oscar for his wonderfully energetic performance that rouses up laughs from the silliest things. I love the lines: "YOU BASTARD!".
"As my mother always used to say; Live on Fisher Island, be buried in Palm Beach. That means you get the best of Florida.".
I don't usually put quotes in my reviews but the lines are genuinely amazing, plus there's so much lines the review would just be quotes.
