« Mike Nichols wrangles agreeably amusing performances from Robin Williams and Nathan Lane in this fun, if not quite essential, remake of the French comedy La Cage aux Folles. » (Rotten Tomatoes)
« 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. » (Washington Post)
« Oddly, the funniest performer here is Gene Hackman, playing an aggressively straight, family-values-spouting politician. Hackman's deadpan inanity is sublimely comic. » (The New Yorker)
