3. Val Goldman and Barbara Keeley (The Birdcage)
Val and Barbara deserve an entry together, because they are both as boring and beige as each other. Barbara was a soppy moppet who spoke like she was eight instead of eighteen, and Val was a white-wine-sipping yuppy. I get it, theyre meant to be the straight people in a cast of over-the-top co-stars, but did they really have to both be so snoozeworthy? Val especially annoys me, because really, as if you would be embarrassed of having Albert as a dad. Honest truth, sometimes when Im trying to work out how to make meringues, or mustering up the courage to buy an item of clothing in leopard print, I wish Albert was my dad. Sorry, Dad.
