One of Tom Hanks better pre-Gump movies.

Someone described this movie to me as, "A movie about gay people that can be enjoyed by both straight and gay alike." I avoided this movie for a long time. TBH I thought this was going to be awful, like the remake of The Producers. But The Birdcage is one of the funniest laugh out movies I have ever seen. In fact I laughed so hard at one point I had to leave the room. Never have Williams and Lane been funnier!
