Watch it tonight—this is a hilarious, heartfelt comedy that's aged beautifully, with Nathan Lane and Robin Williams firing on all cylinders and a smart script that balances laughs with genuine warmth. Mike Nichols knows how to direct a perfect ensemble, and the fish-out-of-water premise never gets old because the film actually cares about its characters underneath the chaos.
