In Mike Nichols`s hilarious remake of the 1978 French comedy LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, Robin Williams stars as Armand Goldman, a gay cabaret owner who lives in Miami`s South Beach with his partner, Albert (Nathan Lane), the club`s star performer. Armand and Albert must try in vain to pass as a typical couple when the prospective in-laws of Armand`s son, Val (Dan Futterman), come for dinner. While accepting their alternative lifestyle personally, Val demands that they tone it down for his girlfriend`s (Calista Flockhart) parents--who happen to be a political couple running on a family values platform. Lane`s hilarious attempts to play it straight and Hank Azaria`s brilliantly flamboyant houseboy, Agador, are the highlights of the film, which also features a beautifully understated Williams as the more normal of the pair. Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest are delightfully square as the future in-laws.
