This remake of the 1978 film, "La Cage aux Follies," is one funny movie with a terrific cast. Armand (Robin Williams) owns the nightclub where his lover, drag queen Albert (Nathan Lane), headlines. The fun really begins when Armand and Albert pass themselves off as respectable heterosexuals when Armand's daughter becomes engaged to the son of an ultraconservative U.S. Senator (Gene Hackman).
