Middle-aged gay life partners, Armand Goldman, a Jewish drag club owner, and Albert, the club's flamboyant star attraction, live in the eclectic community of South Beach and have raised a straight son. Now, their newly engaged son, 20-year-old Val, wants to bring his fiancée, Barbara, and her ultraconservative parents home to meet his family for the first time. By Val's request, Armand pretends to be straight, not Jewish and attempts to hide his relationship with Albert, in order to please Barbara's father, controversial right-wing Republican Sen. Kevin Keeley.

I was not sure what to expect going in but I had fun watching this. I like that they poke fun at all sides, I just kept getting frustrated at how much Al gets picked on. This made me realize how much I miss Robin Williams and his performance in this meshed well with Nathan Lane. Bravo.

Funny and meaningful movie.

How I miss Robin Williams. He was so great in this movie. Nathan Lane and Hank Azria were awesome as well.
