"You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed; pure West Virginia."
The only movies I can recall the term "shag" being used are Shag (about the dance style) and the Austin Powers movies. This has an AP feel, but I can't remember such a scene.
The father's deaf, but can read lips and sign language. The slang is British or some dialect (Australian, New Zealander). The daughter's boyfriend (or equivalent) just celebrated a birthday, and Dad got him a cake, or made him a cake.
Ok, I'm going to discard all that and take a wild guess instead. Is this "SILENCE OF THE HAMS"???

Crimson Tide?

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

Oh come on, people.
Not one of these clues is smooth!
Reminds me of a movie that was very much like it.

Well, some are very different.
But Rocky II was more a remake of Rocky than a sequel.
The chicken gives away that it's II

Name that tune.
That last sentence is familiar, but I can't quite place it.

"Please tell your father [in sign language] it's nice to meet him."
"I have."
"Well then, thank him for the lovely birthday cake."
"I have."
"Then tell him his daughter's an EPIC shag."

It is not.
The main characters are all British.
It is not a comedy.
