Excellent movie : Robin and Nathan shine bright
This is probably one of my favorite movies made way before when mainstream movies of a gay lifestyle were shown on tv or movies.
I know it’s no longer correct for a straight man to portray as gay, but I think Robin did a great job. And Nathan Lane is an overlooked actor. He is simply sublime.
I still watch this movie and to have it as blu-ray is great.
This along with Too Wong Foo are both excellent movies made before the movie industry felt it was ok to have gay characters. I’m glad I can see them more prominent now, but back when this was released it was fabulous for me to see.
Miss Robin Williams!

Great movie
This is a great movie when you need a good laugh. Robin Williams was such an incredible talented actor. He is greatly missed. Gene Hackman and all the other characters are so good. We Are Family regardless of our differences. There is always a way when we want to make a way out of being different. We don't get to pick our families sometimes but we can seek the best out of what we have been given.

A Fantastic Comedy About Accepting Others
This is the preeminent movie about gay people and accepting gay people for who they are.
Nathan Lane and Robin Williams are fan-freaking-tastic as a couple, but praise must also be given to Gene Hackman as a conservative politician who tries to avoid a scandal by traveling with his daughter to Miami Beach to meet her fiancé.
I forgot about Hank Azaria who almost steals the movie.
You do not want to miss this, especially if you're going through Robin Williams or Gene Hackman's filmography.
