The Birdcage
Armand Goldman, the owner of a South Beach drag club called The Birdcage, and his flamboyant partner Albert, who stars in the club's show, face a sudden crisis when Armand's son, Val, announces he is marrying Barbara Keeley, the daughter of ultra-conservative Republican Senator Kevin Keeley. With Keeley embroiled in a public scandal and desperate to maintain a family-values image, Val begs Armand to masquerade as a straight businessman and for Albert to be nowhere in sight when the Keeleys visit. However, Val's biological mother cancels at the last minute, forcing Albert to reluctantly pose as Val's mother Katharine, leading to a farcical dinner party filled with mistaken identities, frantic attempts to "straighten up" their home, and hilarious cultural clashes as the two families try to navigate the elaborate deception, which inevitably begins to unravel.
