Movie Reviews
A great sequel

"La Cage Aux Folles II is a terrific sequel, a rare treat that closely duplicates the charm of the original, while being a completely different film. This time around, the couple unwillingly get involved in a spy ring, with murder, mayhem, and one funne chase after another ensuing. The casting is pricless, with Michel Serrault even funnier as Albin, the main attraction of the elegant cabaret, "La Cage Aux Folles." Ugo Tognazzi is also terrific as his partner Renato, and their comic misadventures are a pure joy to watch. This is 100 minutes of pure escapism; hilarious, entertaining, and touching. While the escapades are taken to the extreme, these are real people with real emotions, which makes them all the better to watch. Any gay man can relate to Albin's feelings of being unloved and unaccepted and Renato trying to be the macho man in a homophobic society.The film is entertaining from start to finish, a wonderful way to spend an evening. Make some popcorn and enjoy!"
Fantastic!

"La Cage II has always been my favourite of all the La Cage movies (there are 3 total). I am happy to see it in DVD format and happy too, that the audio is better than La Cage I. I highly recommend you see this movie. It is quite good! There are plenty of action scenes throughout the comedy that will make you truly laugh. From Nice, France to Italy go Renato and Albin hiding from international spys...."
I enjoy so much.

"If you liked "La cage aux folles" number one you will love this second story.Zaza Napoli(Michel Serrault) is very funny and touching as always.
There is:"Renatoooooooo!" which made this move famous.
You mix up spy stories, murders ,runing away,cops ,bad guys and the irresistibly funny couple Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) / Zaza Napoli and you have an very funny and adorable movie.
If you want to laugh with your family don`t hesitate ,buy this movie"
I still like the first better...

"before the movie "bird cage" this movie predates it by about 20 years.
Sadly the American public would not have allowed such a movie back in the 1970's, ITs a pleasure to see how very simlar these two movies are to one another. THIS movie really makes one laugh."
