Mrs. Doubtfire

 

Customer Reviews

Although I myself was never a big fan of Mr. Williams, after seeing Mrs. Doubtfire, I changed my mind.
Williams plays Daniel, an actor who is recently unemployed, and a husband and father about to lose his family after pushing his uptight wife Miranda (Sally Field) over the edge. She has been feeling unhappy for a long time with Daniel, but after a wild childrens Birthday party for his son, replete with barnyard animals in the living room, Miranda calls it quits. Daniel is lost without his family, so he enlists the expertise of his brother to make him into a woman. When Miranda interviews for a new housekeeper, there is Daniel as Mrs. Doubtfire at the door.
This is a wonderful movie for the whole family to enjoy. Williams is touching as the father who longs for the precious time he can spend with his three beloved children, even if he has to do it in DRAG! Sally Field is a bit irritating in her intolerance of Daniel at first, but then sweetens to the realization that he is a very special dad who will sacrifice whatever he has to, to get what he wants.
There are many fun comic moments where Williams gets caught between his gender bending dual act, and of course his knack for voices is also showcased here as well. All in all, a definite treat that you AND your children can enjoy together.

Mrs. Doubtfire is a comical film following the life of an actor, named Daniel, played by
Robin Williams. The audience enjoys in watching Daniel's quite amusing attempts at
getting his life back in order after loosing both his job and his marriage in the same day.
Excellently directed, Mrs. Doubtfire is the perfect combination of both humor and
heartache. Dealing with issues of a broken home, the movie allows many Americans to
relate to the lives of the characters.
The viewer watches as a father is torn away from his kids, whom he loves dearly. One can
not help but feel compassion for him as he struggles to find a way back into his children's
lives. Viewers will feel like they really know Daniel after watching him grow as both a
person and a father.
In desperation, Daniel takes on another identity in effort to spend more time with his
beloved children. One's stomach will split with laughter watching him jump from one
identity to the other in attempt to remain unidentified. The humor involved is clean, yet
hilarious. Something both kids and their parents can enjoy together.
Mrs. Doubtfire will grip one's heart and hold on tight, until the very end when tears of joy
will slowly well up in every eye. A perfect film for the whole family, Mrs. Doubtfire is
definitely worth one's time.
