The seasons change and so they stream libraries in general. Every month, new films are added to NetflixHBO MAX A CrushAnd it can be difficult to keep up with what is new and good to watch.
On June 1, Amazon Prime Video A movie was added to her stunning non -new catalog but still worth streaming – The bird ship. The 1996 movie was very popular when it was first released, but Some people think it is too dated to be enjoyed today.
If you ask me or any of the Watch with us Crew, the movie still laughs loudly funny, and is one of the rare films that always brings a smile to my face. Here are a few reasons why you should look at it in June.
The set up is a murderer

The bird ship Redes -Make Comedy 1978 The aux folles cagewhich is an adaptation of French drama in 1972. The basic plot remains the same across the three versions – a young man who engages with a woman from a Conservative family must hide the fact that he was raised by two men. In The bird shipThe two men are Armand Goldman (Robin Williams), owner of a successful Miami drag club, and Albert (Nathan Lane), which stars in the drag show that brings the crowds in.
While some streamers retreat from older films, Amazon Prime Video embraces classic comedies like Animal House, who returned to the Streamer this month. Prime Video also has a handful of original comedy movies, but the best ones still tend to be older titles like the Big Lebowski. The only disadvantage of prime (…)
They love their val (And futterman) Many, enough to get terrible along with their applications that they are hiding that they are gay and in a dedicated relationship, who do not own the drag club and that Goldman is not their last name, but Coleman, to hide their Jewish heritage.

Why? Val has been employed for Barbara (Calista Flockhart), whose father is Conservative Senator Kevin Keeley (Hackman Gene). It’s about a sex scandal, so it needs some good press. He bets on upcoming Barbara’s nuptials to be just the thing to clean his image, so he presses on Barbara to arrange a seated lunch down with both families in Miami.
And so begins The bird ship. OJ Simpson trial and the led republican revolution Newt Gingrich. (Don’t worry – The bird ship It’s not really political unless he cracks jokes at the expense of Republicans and Democrats.)
The cast is great

Director Mike Nichols He has a way with actors – across the stage, film and television, has helped famous celebrities like Dustin HoffmanRobert Redford, Harrison Ford And more give some of their best performances. That explains why the birdcage, a modest comedy with just a desire to entertain, filled with so many talented creative people: Williams, Hackman, Flockhart, a two-time Oscar winner Wander As a gentle mother of Barbara, Hank Azaria Like Agador Spartacus, Sauy Goldman’s housekeeper (what is a name!) A Christine Baran as the mother of Birth Leggy Val.
What is even more impressive is that everyone gets their moment to shine. Whenever Azaria appears, it’s like a comedy fire crack – it’s bright and loud, and never fails to get at least three laughs in every scene it is in. Wiest is mostly known for her dramatic work in films such as Hannah and her sisters and Tate little manBut she shows a talent for comedy here with her neglected wife, who wants someone to love as much as everyone loves the character of Nathan Lane.
And then there is Lane, who had his retiring role playing Albert/Starina/Mrs. Goldman. That’s right, he plays three roles in The bird shipAnd it’s absolutely stunning in all of them. When he appears in the brave south full to convince Senator Keeley his family is “traditional” and therefore acceptable to him, the film arrives at Nirvana.
Lane’s straight woman dragged law, which includes singing “I could have danced all night” from My fair lady And flirting with Keeley, is absurd in all the right ways, and Lane makes him work by investing fully in his character. You never laugh to Albert – instead you laugh along with He as he did his best to maintain the elaborate charade to make his son happy. In a way, it is Albert’s great acting challenge, and it rises to the occasion with a performance worthy of the divas in which he idolatics and imitates in his drag action.
He has a very funny lunch scene that made me lmao

The best part of The bird shipAnd trusting me, it was difficult to choose one alone, is the climatic dinner scene, when the two families finally meet. 1996 was a lifetime before Cringe comedy was popular but this scene in The bird ship is probably the cringiest thing you’ll see outside Nathan Fielder Show.
What makes it so uncomfortable – and so funny – are sincere but very erroneous efforts Armand, Albert, Val and Agador to portray a “straight” family convincingly Nancy Drew Books in the library and has nothing but a huge wooden cross hanging on the wall. It’s all so wrong and awayBut Senator Keeley is so desperate for believing it, it works – for at least a while.
But once the lunch is served, the truth comes out slowly. The soup bowls have paintings of faking men outside, which is explained away by Armand insisting that they actually play jump together. In the meantime, Mrs. Goldman is drunk, rants for gays in the army and his yellow wig almost come off. Agador serves food that is not completely cooked, and Val hardly keeps it together. And that’s when Val’s biological mother appears at the door…

What happens next? Well, you’ll have to see for yourself. The bird ship He is nearly 30, but remains one of the funniest and moving comedies I have ever seen. It is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, so if you’re a subscriber, set aside two hours of your time and spend some time with Armand, Starina and the rest of this very unusual family.
