The heart-warming tale of a lovely gay couple who must overcome having an asshole straight son. This could have been cringe-inducing but it's a winner.

when they told agador to put on some straight looking clothes and he showed up in a white crop top with “STRAIGHT LOOKING” written across the front...a true lgbtq icon

god i wish i had robin williams nathan lane and christine baranski as parents but instead i have clinical depression

-
robin williams' full-bodied horror when he walks back into the room and gene hackman is talking about killing abortion doctors is just some of the all-time funniest acting ever
-
Shocked at how reserved Robin Williams’ role in this movie is, but it just means more of a spotlight for Nathan Lane, who kills it as always. I am going to kick Val’s ass. I hate the boy. I hate him with my life. He does not leave the gay parents alone.

“HOW BOUT THOSE DOLPHINS?”
I am very obsessed with everything about this. Fully aware this is a remake but I think Elaine May is the only person that knows how to get the most out of a character. Definitely broke the record for most times I’ve gasped while watching anything. -
TWO (2) jeb! bush jokes in this gem from 1996 ....... prescient ...... elaine may was and is so ahead of her time

all the cultural references in this still work because the worst conservative politicians never die
-
Agador’s shoe falls. :) Albert’s suit scene. :) Armand’s fatherly scene by the pool. :) Nobody slapping Val for being a little shit. :( They don’t make movies like this anymore! (Where 20 year olds look 35)
