Plot makes no sense but this movie is hilarious

Well for starters this movie is hilarious. Except for Val, honestly. I thought he was vapid and a douche. Otherwise, Lane and Williams kill it in this film, Hackman and the others are incredible too.

But....why go to all of the trouble to hide being gay when they would obviously find out later anyway?

Because later it will be too late. They will be married.

Me too! Nathan Lane was so hilarious. I loved his pink socks with the very staid, conservative suit.

I can not think of another actor who could have done a better job than Nathan Lane as Albert.
