Fun and unique! The son was driving me crazy though - literally 0 effort to make him likable
You’ll get a good Robin Williams performance and of all the other actors as well, they came together to make an entertaining movie. Fun.
While there are tropes and stereotypes abound, Williams and Lane charm their way through every scene in this outrageous comedy.
Hysterical and fun satire that is super rewatchable and honestly a bundle of joy.
A fantastic farce with a perfect cast. This is a real day-brightener of a movie.
Hilarious classic. An absolute must watch.
Iconic comedy movie. The chemistry of the two fathers is wonderful.
Hilarious and full of unexpected twists. A real feel-good film.
Everyone here is on their A-game, from the actors, Nichols’ direction to Elaine May’s socially sharp - but most of all entertaining - script
Situational humor, gayness, and keeping up appearances. Nathan Lane is a masterpiece!
