‘There’s only one place in the world I call home, and it’s because you’re there.’ Single-handedly the best declaration of love line in film.

[@jimmyl324]

That is such a great scene

[@killinglonliness88]

[@neil2444]

It had a few genuinely wholesome moments at moments you didn't expect. I definitely appreciate those in comedy films.

[@lostchild06]

It's so romantic.

[@Cadinho93]

Robin Williams wasn't meant to fall with the soup in the kitchen, which to me, makes it even funnier seeing Hank Azaria crying, but probably trying so hard not to die laughing. Also, Hank Azaria is such an amazing actor. He can do so many different voices and is so diverse in his character portrayals.

[@kriscynical]

I was checking to see if anybody had already posted this little factoid because it's so great.😂 And yes, Hank Azaria was crying to hide his laughter. That's also why Val started chugging out of the bottle. I've always been SO GLAD they left that blooper in the film even though Robin is obviously laughing because goddamn if it isn't a perfect summary of the absolute chaos going on at the time!

Great human being, too. I believe Nathan Lane has mentioned that after the movie came out, and he had not publicly come out yet, they went on Oprah and she basically tried to push him into saying he was gay and Robin stepped in and changed the subject to protect him, something Lane has said cemented Robin as one of the all-time best.

[@jillwanlin9558]

@@JeffKelly03 yes, I agree. A good human being. Good for Robin sticking up for his friend.

[@dmanslovesCOB]

Speaking about Nathan's and Robin's relationship when this was made Nathan wasn't out of the closet yet and Oprah during an interview was really pushing to get Nathan to come out, Robin saw this and immediately jumped in making a joke out of it taking the attention off Nathan. Nathan has gone on saying that was one of the kindest things ever and he is forever appreciative of it!

[@thekingofmovies193]

His heart must have broken when he found out about Robin's passing.

I remember that interview! Oprah was pushing like the monster she was so she & the nation could judge him & Robin wasn't having it!

[@ianmichalski7997]

It may not seem like that long ago but to come out as gay at that time was still career suicide to an actor. He would have never worked again unless it was as a screaming queen....

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Nathan Lane (as he does every time) STEALS every scene he is in. One of my favorite Robin Williams films, and Hackman is what he always is one of the top 50 actors of all time. I love and adore this. I wish more people saw it maybe the hate and ignorance would die down some.

Nathan Lane (Albert) is a major league stage comedy actor. He played Nathan Detroit opposite Faith Prince in a huge revival of Guys and Dolls, Bialastock in the film musical remake of The Producers, and he also was the voice of Timon in The Lion King.

[@adrianhempfing2042]

Yep Albert - Nathan Lane in OG Lion King movie

[@grahamparks1645]

The other Nathan Lane film to react to is The Producers

[@christhornycroft3686]

Terrific 90s movie that was controversial at the time. If you want to see Nathan Lane play the “straight” man, the 2005 musical version based on the stage play of Mel Brooks’ The Producers is highly underrated. It has some scenes that still get me laughing even to this day. Or you can watch the 1968 version, which isn’t a musical, but Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel are great in it. The newer musical has more jokes and one liners.

[@esweeney47]

This really was a risky movie to do at the time, considering where the US was from a cultural perspective. It was outrageously funny at the time for how much it clashed with "traditional" American ideals.

[@kriscynical]

It's encouraging how much less controversial this movie is now. We have a long ways to go still, but to see that much change in ~30 years is nothing to sneeze at. 😊 I also second that they should watch The Producers! Another brilliantly fun film.

I agree - The 2005 The Producers is so darn funny and Nathan Lane/Matthew Broderick are brilliant in it

[@LCCWPresents]

The 2005 producers is more like the modern day remakes of the Mel brooks classic, but it keeps the spirt of the original in tact while changing the format from dry comedy to musical.

[@angelagraves865]

I'm in complete agreement about Val's "mom" (Chrstine Baranski). If it was important to her she would have made more of an effort. Even when Armand first approaches her she has no idea how old Val is. Just shows how much more of a mom Albert was. "I'm very maternal and Albert's practically a breast." is one of my favorite lines.

[@audrab27]

Well she did take money for Val

[@ScarlettM]

25:57 - hope you appreciate how big of a deal that was, when Val introduced Albert as his mother. In the 90s, it was a surprising and brave choice.

[@zbennalley]

One of the kindest stories I found out after the Williams passed was during the press tour for the film Nathan Lane and Robin Williams would do multiple interviews and one in particular asked questions in regards of Nathan's sexuality. It was a open secret that he was gay in the Theater community but wasn't comfortable to be out in the mainstream media and didn't want to forced to do that during an interview. Robin sensing this as the question was asked made a few impressions and talked about how proud he was to represent the gay community in a film that pushes against the status quo and jokes about the stereotypes and that Nathan is the real scene stealer. Nathan since said,"Robin, is the kindest, understanding and greatest people he's ever met oh and he's an iconic actor too!!!"

[@heavycritic9554]

This is such a great movie! Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Diane Wiest and Hank Azaria all bring their A-game to it. It's one of my go-to feel-good movies.

My favorite scene is during the rehearsal number where Robin imitates several legendary dancers. I’m sure it was totally improvised and unexpected because you can see Nathan and Dan barely holding it together, trying so hard not to laugh so as not to ruin the take. I will always miss Robin Williams. Such an extraordinary talent.

Robin Williams was originally supposed to play Albert. He requested to play Armand, because he thought he wouldn't be convincing enough as Albert. Nathan Lane, who played Albert was Timon from The Lion King, and was a big musical theater actor. He was so, so good to be able to keep up with Robin Williams in any scene. Hank Azaria (Agador) was also truly amazing, since he was able to keep his composure and delivered his lines with perfect comedic timing. The whole cast was a chef's kiss.

Chris nailed it.... this is one of the few films where Robin Williams was outshined by his costar. Nathan Lane absolutely stole the show as Albert. The whole cast really, is so great though. Even though his character was atrocious, Gene Hackman as Barbara's father was fantastic at playing that part.

I love this movie so much. It’s absolutely hilarious but also hits some serious issues. Robbin Williams saying “it took me 20 years to get here and I’m not going let some idiot senator destroy it” hit hard for me. I openly came out as bi last year. It took years to get there and I feel what he is conveying in that scene so much.

[@0okamino]

That’s great! However, it is a sad situation that there are still so many idiot senators (and too many idiots in general) trying obsessively to destroy that.

So, I saw this with both of my mommies when I was 9 or 10. I hadn't put a lot of thought into what kind of person I would be as an adult, but when I watched Val smear his dad's makeup on the wall, I thought, "No matter what, I'm never going to make my moms feel this way."

[@timvanderburg6039]

Albert vs "Mom": You're beginning to understand what the LGBTQ+ community know to be family, especially when teenagers are thrown out of their parents' house for coming out as Gay. This film had so many moments: Armond's declaration of love to Albert; the fiancee's instant connection to Albert; Albert's desparate, if doomed, attempts to be Butch out of love for his son...All these made me verklempt... and proud. It's not often that Robin Williams is upstaged, but Nathan Lane did it. What's ironic is that when this film was released, Nathan wasn't out, yet, but their chemistry and fondness for each other was such that, when doing the promotion circuit for the film, Robin was willing and able to deflect questions about Nathan's sexuality.

This film always felt like the Gay “Guess whose coming to dinner” and I love that I also like that they show that the politician parents actually get along with Albert and the others without knowing that they’re gay, showing that it’s totally a ridiculous concept to hate on people for being different.

Albert was played by Nathan Lane, who was also the voice of Timmon in the original Lion King. He's brilliant in this movie and it's one of my favorites!

Check out the producers with Nathan lane and Matthew Broderick. I’m sure you guys will enjoy that hahaha

Nathan Lane wasn’t out of the closet yet when they made the movie and there is a video of Oprah interviewing Nathan and Robin and she asked Nathan how he got so good at the “girly” stuff and Robin swooped on and started joking around to take the focus off Nathan. They also made a movie of the play in the 70’s

Nathan Lane, who played Albert, was already a successful stage actor but hadn’t broken into film when they were casting the movie. So the studio wanted an actor with a bigger name among moviegoers. But Robin Williams insisted that Lane get the part. The thing was that Nathan Lane is gay, but wasn’t out yet. During the promotional tour, Williams and Lane appeared on Oprah. She started to ask Lane a question that was basically going to out him on national TV, which could have ruined his career at that point. But Williams interrupted and deflected the question, essentially saving Lane from the situation. Lane, who’s now a major star, says that he was so grateful to Williams, and was devastated when Williams passed away.

For me, besides the obvious brilliance of all the actors, Gene Hackman was just my fave. The candy thing is now mine too 🤦🏻‍♀️. One of the best comedies ever made IMO. And taboo for it’s time, I’m so glad it’s a classic now.

[@LunilWormwood]

This is one of my favorite movies XD You should also check out To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar. It stars Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo as drag queens

Nathan Lane is truly an amazing actor, long time Broadway performer, voice of Timon in Lion King, and you guys would love him in The Producers (2005). Will Ferrell and Matthew Broderick are in Producers too. Check it out.

You guys should review more of Robin Williams' movies like Mrs. Doubtfire and Good Will Hunting.
