Directed by Frank Oz, written by Paul Rudnick, produced by Scott Rudin.
Average viewer score of 6.4/10 from 772 ratings.
The movie is hysterical, it really is a funny film, and one that tries its best to stand up for Gay Rights back in the late 90s when Don't Ask Don't Tell was the height of Gay Rights. Unfortunately people are reviewing this with an eye to the present and claiming that it stereotypes Gay men, and it does to an extent, but I do believe that a lot of the single star reviews would have made the same complaint no matter…

I miss the good-ole days when comedy through stereotypes was perfectly acceptable. Then, the Politically Correct vigilantes took over and the likes of Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, and Joan Rivers were out of a job. If you need those old-tyme, forbidden laughs, this is the film. Last of the era, man.
