What could be funnier or more unexpected than Gene Hackman in drag?!
The Birdcage can best be described as a comical farce (in the nicest sense of the word) that starts off funny and winds up with the most preposterously funny third act.
Nathan Lane gives one of the funniest performances on screen, and Hank Azaria as Agador Spartacus the houseboy is just so over the top it's brilliant.
I defy anyone to watch this and not howl with laughter at the series of unfortunate events. And anything with Dianne Wiest is worthy of a good watch.
