This is an updated version of the classic farce La Cage aux Folles relocating the story to MiamiBeach.
It stars Robin Williams and Nathan Lane who play a gay couple called Armand and Albert who are forced to play it straight for the sake of Armands son who has just got engaged. Lane really is over the top in outrageous drag queen gear while Robin Williams is unusually subdued by his standards. One of the funniest scenes is when Armand try to teach Albert to "act macho" Gene Hackman and Dianne West also star but considering the cast this is a poor movie
