'The Birdcage'

Unfortunately, his fiancé's family are intensely conservative members of the Republican party. The loving gay couple and owner of the most popular drag club in South Beach have to pretend to be straight!"Don't worry about that. I'm very maternal. And Albert's practically a breast." This is one great film you do not want to miss!
