Refried Crepes.......2007-03-09

You won't be able to "double your pleasure or double your fun " with La Cage 2. This flick is La Cage (deja Vou )Same players, different plot. If plagued with Insomnia, this one is guaranteed to put you to sleep. Something important is missing ? Funny?=no, entertaining?=no, boring?,=yes

GREAT MOVIE.......2007-02-13

before the movie "bird cage" this movie predates it by about 20 years.
Sadly the American public would not have allowed such a movie back in the 1970's, ITs a pleasure to see how very simlar these two movies are to one another. THIS movie really makes one laugh.

Modern is better.......2007-01-22

Not only because the new American version is modern and actual, but mainly the excellent cast and better timing. Is surprisingly alike but different in what I mentioned before. I still remember my joy seeing the original on tv before the new version, but I definitely prefer Robin William's one.

I still like the first better..........2005-08-02

Yes, this sequel is funny, but not as much as the first.

A great sequel.......2004-07-06

La Cage Aux Folles II is a terrific sequel, a rare treat that closely duplicates the charm of the original, while being a completely different film. This time around, the couple unwillingly get involved in a spy ring, with murder, mayhem, and one funne chase after another ensuing.

The casting is pricless, with Michel Serrault even funnier as Albin, the main attraction of the elegant cabaret, "La Cage Aux Folles." Ugo Tognazzi is also terrific as his partner Renato, and their comic misadventures are a pure joy to watch. This is 100 minutes of pure escapism; hilarious, entertaining, and touching. While the escapades are taken to the extreme, these are real people with real emotions, which makes them all the better to watch. Any gay man can relate to Albin's feelings of being unloved and unaccepted and Renato trying to be the macho man in a homophobic society.

The film is entertaining from start to finish, a wonderful way to spend an evening. Make some popcorn and enjoy!
