Rating: - DIFFERENT FROM 1&2 BUT STILL HILARIOUS
I did love la cage aux folles 1 & 2 and my only regret is that the nr3 is not available in dvd as I really like it since 1986... But I'm french and if you don't speak French, subtitles may not be as enjoyable as the words because this is really a very funny film!
Rating: - Horrible disgrace to the two classics...
If you are like me and feel that La Cage Aux Folles and its sequel are hillarious films, then do not see this. It is a complete disgrace and dishonor to the series. One of the principal screenwriters and creative mind behind the first 2 films, Francis Veber, is gone. And so is any charm, whimsy and any trace of comedy. This film is just flat out NOT FUNNY. Personally, I like Part 2 the best, with the original close behind. Ugo Tonazzi and Michel Serrault are on autopilot here and seem to be sleepwalking through their roles. The dubbing is atrocious and completely ruins an already lifeless film. ... Read More
Rating: - An unappreciated sequal
I have to disagree with the negative review(s) this movie has received. While it's not a great sequal, by any standards, it is still funny, entertaining, and enjoyable. I loved the other two La Cage films, and this one is a close second. The only really bad feature of the movie is the atrocious dubbing.

(Though, I've never seen a copy of it with subtitles -- If anyone knows where I can get one, let me know.) Michel Serrault's classic character is great fun, as always, with his over ... Read More
Rating: - Don't Be Fooled!
The original LA CAGE is a comic gem, and the first sequel was still somewhat amusing. If you loved them (as I did), you should probably stay away from this dreadful creature. The original leads return, as do their hated in-laws, but the wit and magic are gone. Albin and Renato become silly cartoonish figures, with none of the humanity that make these characters so memorable in the earlier films. So don't be fooled -- any resemblance between this film and LA CAGE AUX FOLLES is strictly in the eye of the producer. END
