Funny and meaningful movie. How I miss Robin Williams. He was so great in this movie. Nathan Lane and Hank Azria were awesome as well.

>"It took me twenty years to get here, and I'm not gonna let some idiot senator destroy that." I was not sure what to expect going in but I had fun watching this. I like that they poke fun at all sides, I just kept getting frustrated at how much at how much Al gets picked on. This made me realize how much I miss Robin Williams and his performance in this meshed well with Nathan Lane. Bravo.
