starstarstarstar
In this flaccid remake of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, Robin Williams and Nathan Lane play Armand and Albert, a middle-aged couple whose life together would be a model of bourgeois domesticity if they weren't both men. They're thrown into a tizz when their son -- he's actually Armand's kid, but Albert might as well be his mother -- announces his engagement to the daughter of a right-wing senator (Gene Hackman) who champions "family values."

Also on the Brothers & Sisters front, Ryan wonders: "I heard a rumor they are reshooting the pilot of Brothers & Sisters without Dan Futterman! Say it ain't so!
