The story centers on the life of a middle-aged, flamboyant gay couple...Armand and Albert...in the eclectic community of South Beach, Florida, who have raised a straight son. The son announces his engagement to the daughter of a right-wing U.S. senator, and wants to bring his fiancee and her ultraconservative parent's home to meet his family for the first time. What choice is there but to accept his decision with love? So Armand and Albert must pretend to be very straight by attempting to play out the roles of your typical heterosexual "husband" and "wife". Of course, as they dig themselves deeper into the deception, the funnier the situations!
Actors: Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane, Dianne Wiest
Director: Mike Nichols

We all love Robin Williams but I think we can all agree this is Nathan Lanes movie

@bobaagard 3 месяца назад

Nathan Lane (who played Albert), was very much in the closet when this movie came out. He and Robin Williams were on Oprah promoting the movie, and Oprah asked Nathan if he was worried about being typecast. You can see Nathan is totally nervous because he wasn’t ready to come out of the closet yet (the 90s were a very different time), and Robin sensed his fear and totally took the conversation a different direction.

@razzati420 3 месяца назад

That fall that Robin Williams had in the kitchen wasn't scripted but the director loved it and kept it in the final cut.

I adore the scene between Armand and Albert at the bus stop. It is so very sweet. They are one of my favorite movie couples for sure. Fun fact: When this movie came out Nathan Lane had not yet come out of the closet. He confided to Robin that he wasn't ready and didn't want the press tour to be about that. On an appearance on the Oprah show she started trying to steer the conversation towards Nathan Lane's sexuality. Robin jumped in and distracted her and moved the convo away from that to protect Nathan. Robin was such a sweet man. I miss him all the time!

This movie, at its heart, is a very normal movie about a very normal family that loves each other very normally, and I think somehow it shocked people in America because they all thought such weird things about gay folks. Turns out at their core all people just love and want to be loved and for the life of me I will never understand why anyone would want to get in between that or control it in any way. That scene with Nathan Lane and Robin Williams at the bus stop was such a sweet, beautiful sentiment about what it means to grow older with someone, what kind of an asshole does a person have to be to care if it's two men or two women or two people that don't consider themselves to be either? Glad to see you enjoyed this movie James. What a joy it was to watch and see such a loving family do what they could to stick together amongst such hilarious hijinx and what a joy it is at any time to see Robin Williams perform, especially in this movie which somehow successfully turned him into the straight man (no pun intended) in the comedy. He was special. Special shoutout to Nathan Lane for just being completely insane in this movie, and also to Hank Azaria for Agador Spartacus because he's hilarious.

@merkitten953 3 месяца назад

I dont know that anyone in America was "shocked" by this movie, either when it came out, or now. This came out in 96, gays were well on their way to being accepted. The movie debued at #1 and mqde more than 150 million on a 30 million dollar budget. Translation - almost everyone loved it.

@@lynn2574 honey i was born in 71. Marched in my first pride parade at 15, at a time when getting caught marching in a pride parade could really mess up your life. I fought for the rights youre talking about. The funny thing is, you try to correct me... by reiterating exactly what i said 🤣 i said gays were well on their way to being accepted. You reply back, and in, idk, an atrempt to school me? You say "on our way perhaps, but had not reached "accepted". Yeah.... Exactly what i said. Not accepted - but well on our way. Im not sure why you felt the need to clarify that by saying the exact same thing? The truth is from 86, when i first marched, to 96, a LOT had changed. It was already no longer cool to say faggot, even amongst jocks ect, where in the 80s, faggot was THE thing to call someone to cut them down. The 90s changed a lot, i think we all as a society wanted to leave some of our backward thinking behind. Anyway. Saying things were good isnt "glazing over" anyones efforts-if anything its the opposite. Its acknowledgment of progress. We WANT things to be good. Thats the goal. And the truth is, by 96 society had evolved enough that a movie could come out whos main characters were not only gay, one of them was a wildly effeminate drag queen - and the movie was still a hit. The whole movie is itself honestly, very gay - and it was still a hit. This is a sign of progress. Its ok to celebrate progress- we dont have to be in a perpetual state of "woe is us, we're victims fighting oppression", especially bc thats simply not true anymore. I dont know anyone, republican or democrat right or left, who gives a shit if someones gay. We got here, finally.

In germany almost all movies and series are dubbed in german (at least they mostly have some mostly decent quality in dubbing and use professional "dubbing actors" and don't simply speak german text over the original sound or read translated texts, in some countries maybe even by a single narrator for all roles), while the usa appear to either ignore most foreign language movies or series, or create remakes to have their own "original" american movies and series. Quite often it's open for debate whether either method or subtitles would be "better", for what people enjoy, what they are used to, or whether too much of the original version (plot as well as dialogues) is lost. to me, the most annoying part is when the original version of anything completely "gets lost" (or is not available) and people don't even know that they exist and that what they watch is only an adaptation or remake, so that they optionally would be able to look them up and watch and compare them. btw: worst of that kind that i ever saw was when a friend watched a german dub of a bad italian "gladiator movie" (either "Seven Magnificent Gladiators (1983)" with Lou Ferrigno, or "Gladiators Seven(1964)" with Tony Russell, maybe even "Gladiators 7 (1960)", lol) without being aware that there were lots of such cheap ripoffs (including scifi versions in space) of the american "Magnificent Seven (1960)", which itself was a good western genre adaptation of Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" (1954). *_i would recommend these latter two for reactions,_* and all the others only for playing some drinking games to make them bearable.

By today's standards, some of this might come across as dated and homophobic, but I remember at the time, people were losing it for the opposite reason. It was a rare 90s movie that actually dealt with these issues. It was considered very progressive for the time. Nathan Lane was in another hilarious movie later on, the adaptation of Mel Brooks' Broadway version of The Producers, with Matthew Broderick and Uma Thurman. Absolutely great. Funniest musical I've ever seen.

Love this film so much. Obv this is in a time when gay rights aren’t as popular as now. Young Chris needed to be more open to his potential in laws rather than force his gay dad to pretend. However it leads to fun. 😊 love gene Hackman and the end is fantastic fun.

Such a classic movie. Quotable lines galore, fantastic performances, incredibly hilarious. I really appreciated watching it with you. It's one of my favorites. I'm not sure if you've watched them, but I would highly recommend Tootsie, Victor/Victoria and Continental Divide.

Director Mike Nichols has some other great films Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) - nominated for Best Director Oscar The Graduate (1967) - won Best Director Oscar Silkwood (1983) - nominated for Best Director Oscar Working Girl (1988) - nominated for Best Director Oscar; stars Sigourney Weaver and Joan Cusack Closer (2004) Charlie Wilson's War (2007) - with Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Philip Seymour Hoffman Mike Nichols is one of a select few who have won the EGOT: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. I believe he and Mel Brooks are the only two directors who have done it.

Great reaction, subbed finally. Nathan Lane played Albert. A great actor. You might try THE PRODUCERS, a Mel Brooks movie starring Nathan Lane.

My condolences to your widow and children for their loss. The bride is Harrison Ford's wife, and played Supergirl's boss & starred as Ally McBeal on TV. The actor playing Albert was also in Mouse Trap and The (original) Lion King.

The Senator's daughter is played by the one who married Harrison Ford in real life. They have been together for years

I saw this comment and had to ask my wife about it. Ford is OLD, and the young lady in this is not so i was confused. I guess they've been together for like 20 years and she's 59 and he's like 104. lol

Love how James of Awesome US Movies doesn't know the name of Gene Hackman like he is a zoomer and not a boomer.

I'm sorry I still have a lot of names to learn.

@@AwesomeUSMovies No worries. I am just used to know Gene Hackman like forever is all. You do fully explain the reason in every intro to your reactions.

Nathan Lane is the voice of Timon in The Lion King.

Hank Azaria does a lot of voices in the show " The Simpsons" . I have this movie and love it.

@billboth6572 Месяц назад

Nathan is mainly a Broadway actor. He is brilliant. He did a movie and a stage play with Matthew Broderick (Ferris Beuler) called the Producers by Mel Brooks. You should review it too. The new one, not the old one with Gene Wilder and ZERO Mostel

@josephbzezinski6847 3 месяца назад

A great movie with Gene Hackman that you should consider reviewing is the original Poseidon Adventure from 1972. He plays a fiery reverend on a cruise ship's last voyage when the ship is capsized by a tidal wave.

As I recall Williams was originally cast as Albert but he thought it’d be funnier if he played “the straight guy” Armand against someone campier and here we are.

@leeannmcdermott8313 3 месяца назад

You should watch the movie “Parenthood” I think you’d really enjoy it.

@christined6321 3 месяца назад

Love this film…I die laughing every time a watch. Your laugh just took it over the top!😂 If you like Diane Wiest you’ll love her in “ Parenthood”. Another great family comedy.

@mariaghiglieri78 3 месяца назад

I am so glad that you, James, recognize, how silly the entire premise is in this day and age. I usually feel like this movie really is a barometer for when people were born. Those who see Val’s actions as a necessity are usually GenX/old millennials and those who see it as a complete failure of understanding are young Millennial/GenZ. I saw this with my uncle and his partner when I was in my uncle and his partner when I was in my tweens and I absolutely despised Val, for asking his dads to do that for him. And It was only after I was older that I realized it was remade from a French stage musical/movie, and from an even older era. But, while I love the message, i will always feel that Val is still an ass, regardless of the era.

My wife and I have our views and one of them is have the state and church be separate instead of both being together take care and thanks for the video

Hank Azaria does a lot of THE SIMPSONS characters voices, most notably the bartender ‘Moe’.

Please watch Parenthood. Dianne Wiest (the mom) is great in that movie.

I second this! Parenthood is a wonderful film. You'll laugh, THEN cry. So many wonderful actors in it. I haven't seen it in years but I think it may be time!
