Critic Reviews of "The Birdcage"
Chicago ReaderMay 29, 2011This isn't the supreme masterpiece it might have been, but Nichols's direction is very polished and some of the lines and details are awfully funny.
Washington PostMay 27, 2011If The Birdcage isn't exactly the Mike Nichols-Elaine May movie of our dreams, it does manage to transform what was formerly a campy bit of French fluff into one of the loopiest, most hysterical family-values movies ever made.
VarietyMarch 26, 2009The Birdcage is a scream.
San Francisco ChronicleJune 18, 2002A glossy miscalculation with Nathan Lane and Robin Williams.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000What makes Mike Nichols' version more than just a retread is good casting in the key roles, and a wicked screenplay by Elaine May, who keeps the original story but adds little zingers here and there.
QuickflixAugust 24, 2014The Birdcage grossed nearly $200 million worldwide in 1996, and that is significant. Box Office Mojo says it's the highest grossing queer film of all time, though they're not counting Frozen and 300, and they probably should.
Movie MetropolisJuly 16, 2014Robin Williams plays off of a flaming Nathan Lane with delicious understatement and anchors a farce that moves along at a brisk pace-with or without heels.
7M PicturesJune 13, 2014At its core, it is about human relationships. They're extreme relationships, and they're cross-wired to get an electric reaction, but they're real characters nonetheless.
TV GuideMay 29, 2011What might be a surprise, given the talents involved, is how relentlessly unfunny it is.
Empire MagazineMay 29, 2011It undoubtedly remains a genial crowd pleaser. If the dress fits, wear it.
