Interesteg What makes it different from others?

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

MichaelMRamey Just reading the plot line of this film, I knew they had the right cast with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. However, Hank Azaria really steals every scene he is in and is a hilarious side character. The film does feel a bit slow in the beginning, but makes up for it in the end. The comedy really hits a homer in during the climatic dinner scene. It may not be one of my favourite Robin Williams films, but it is one of my favourite Williams characters. This film is also way ahead of its time tackling issues that still plague us like gay rights, abortion and racism. A great opposing dynamic between the two families. Very funny and topical film that will make you feel good by the end while laughing your ass off!

Sober-Friend This film is very funny. If you don't know the story then I won't spoiled it. Just think of it as "Meet the Gay Parents". If I tell you more about the set-up it will spoil it. Robin Williams stars. It was also a shame that Hank Azaria or Nathan Lane were snubbed Academy Award Nomination. MGM released the film in 1996 and it was one of the highest grossing films of the year. Sadly they have neglected the film on home video. There has been no elaborate DVD or Blu-Ray! There was a television cut that ran 20 minutes longer and those scenes never been released on dvd even as a bonus feature.Also there is number that Nathan Lane at the beginning of the film that was cut. I think it was a Judy garland number. He would like the scene released as well! Well MGM how about a great release of this film.

honeyrosie I love the late Robin Williams;Here,we see him at his very comedic best.The great part of the film is dancing,comic humor and sheer folly.The saying "laughter is good medicine" has truth and meaning with this wonderful film.

fireandlightning I love Robin Williams work. Always have and always will. This was yet another proof of his brilliance and comedic skills and I watched it to honour his memory.Beside Williams, there were a lot of recognizable names and they all did a splendid job. The acting of Hank Azaria (Friends, Mad About You, America's Sweethearts, Smurfs) alone is worth 10 stars, but the plot made me a bit sad and angry, and you'll know which scenes I mean.This was the first time I noticed Nathan Lane's brilliance. The comedic skill and acting is great and so so funny! I don't want to spoil anything, I just want everybody to watch this movie because it'll make you laugh so loud so many times.Gene Hackman (Superman, Wyatt Earp), Christine Baranski (Mamma Mia), Calista Flockhart (Ally McBeal), Dianne Weist (Footloose, Edward Scissorhands) and Dan Futterman (Judging Amy) were all great choices to this movie and I'm so glad that I finally saw it.
