Produced and directed by Mike Nichols.
Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Dianne Wiest.
Originally released as a motion picture in 1996.
Robin Williams delivers his funniest performance since Mrs Doubtfire in this non-stop hilarious comedy audiences and critics adore. Williams stars as Armand, the outlandish owner of a wild Miami Beach nightclub, whose partner Albert, is also the star attraction at the club. Gene Hackman (Crimson Tide) is the ultra conservative US Senator Keeley, who faces political problems when his closest political ally dies in bed with a prostitute. When Armand's son Val, announces his engagement with Keeley's daughter, the scene is set for a riotous comedy of errors. Keeley sees the wedding as the opportunity to restore political fortunes by promoting "traditional family values". If he only knew what sort of family his daughter was marrying into!! Put the two families together and watch the sparks fly in this hilarious battle of the three sexes!
