{"product_id":"the-birdcage-new","title":"The Birdcage","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com  The great improvisational comedy team of Mike Nichols and Elaine May reunited to (respectively) direct and write this update of the French comedy La Cage Aux Folles. Robin Williams stars as a gay Miami nightclub owner who is forced to play it straight and ask his drag-queen partner (Nathan Lane) to hide out when Williamss son invites his prospective--and highly conservative--in-laws and fiancée to a meet-and-greet dinner party. Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest play the straight-laced senator and his wife, and Calista Flockhart (from televisions Ally McBeal) plays their daughter in a culture-clash with outrageous consequences. Mays witty screenplay incorporates some pointed observations about the political landscape of the 1990s and takes a sensitive approach to the comedys underlying drama. Topping off the action is Hank Azaria in a scene-stealing role as Williamss and Lanes flamboyant housekeeper, Agador Spartacus. --Jeff Shannon  Product Description  Lies and deception are all in the family when Robin Williams must convince conservative in-laws Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest that hes as upstanding and uptight as they are in this raucously funny comedy thatll leave you weak from laughter (Gannett Suburban News). Nathan Lane co-stars in this wild comedy that insists you dont have to be a woman to be a mother.
