Summary: Formula - fair formula but formula
Review: This is an entertaining film that looks like it was made as a filler while the actors looked for something to do. Robin Williams who did a good job of playing Osric in Hamlet ..., does an avrage job in this movie. You could almost substitute Eddie Murphy and got the same results. It is good to see Sally, Field Absence of Malice ..., as she is not in too many movies now days. I believe that Pierce Brosnan is in his element and adds much to the movie success.

Summary: A must own for all Robin Williams fans
Review: I didn't notice much difference in picture or sound quality between the DVD and VHS editions, but there are many extras on the DVD that make it a worthwhile purchase. Mrs. Doubtfire is a great movie to add to anyone's collection.

Summary: Good Messages, Great Comdedy
Review: "Mrs. Doubtfire" shows how a father that recently got a divorce, Daniel Hillard, took on a major role to be able to spend quality time with his children. This film shows how good people will put their reputation at stake for the love of others. This is one of the most feel good movies that teaches outstanding morals and is ideal for children and children, but particularly children. When Daniel Hillard gets a divorce from Miranda Hillard, Daniel only gets to see his three children once a week under the supervision of a proffesional hired by the court. Daniel decides that he won't put up with the unfair treatment and he has a plan. Miranda needs to hire a babysitter, and Daniel gets the job. He takes on an alias of Mrs. Doubtfire, a British nanny. This is the start to this family comedy. There are many lessons to be learned from this film. One message to be learned is that you should always put the good out in the sake of others to a certain extent. Daniel Hillard went to the extremes so he could spend time with his family. This film also shows how a judge, who knows nothing about the family and the life that the Hillard family had at home, makes a ruling that will change the people of the family's lives forever. This should teach people that our court system doesn't always do the right things. This film is a great family movie that is very funny and has good morals. This movie is not to be missed. Happy Viewing!

Summary: rolling-on-the-floor laughing entertainment
Review: If you want a funny movie with a good blend of human emotions and sensitivity, "Mrs. Doubtfire" is the one. It is just hysterical, and an excellent film. Robin Williams portrays Daniel Hillard, a laid-back father who is absolutely crazy about his three children, who love him just as much. When Daniel's behavior becomes more than his wife Miranda (Sally Field) can handle, she files a divorce. Daniel is devastated at the loss of his wife, but more than that, he cannot stand to be separated from his children. He is willing to make as many sacrifices as he needs in order to be with them, even if it means putting on a dress, a bodysuit and a little makeup and portraying a devoted old nanny whom Miranda instantly hires to help take care of the kids. In the process, Daniel works hard to shape up his own life and ultimately mature as a parent. You will laugh hysterically at Daniel's attempts as "Mrs. Doubtfire," and you will be touched at the special pains he goes to just to see his children every day. Of course, it's not just Robin Williams who supplies the entertainment in this movie. Mara Wilson, who plays Daniel's youngest daughter Nattie, will have you rolling on the floor laughing. With that sweet little lisp and the innocence of a 5-year-old, she almost stole the show (in my opinion). There is a very good cast here, and this movie has everything. Humor, tears, sensitivity....you name it. Do yourself a favor and watch this one. If you haven't seen it yet, now is the time. It's the kind of film that you can watch over and over and laugh just as often every time, if not more. You'll love it--trust me! =) It's pretty much impossible not to be touched in some way by this moving film about persistence, love, and dedication to your family.

Summary: Don't think of this movie as a "drag"!
Review: I was shocked that many people thought of this great movie as a "Drag" (transvestite) type movie. My young son and I watched this movie together daily for about one full year. The thought of him actually dressing "drag" had never ever crossed my mind, due to him not at all being gay, but doing it for the extreme love he had for his children. It is funny, it is sad. Both of which is good clean family fun and leaves you feeling fuzzy inside throughout the movie and especially at the end. Robin Williams does a wonderful job protraying a husband that can't hold a job and just wants to have fun with his children, while his wife (who's a bigshot money-maker) played by Sally Field leaves him and later starts to date Pierce Brosnin. Robin Williams loses custody due to not having a job at that time and is appointed a social worker. He gets a job and finds out that his ex has ran an ad for a nanny. He changes the phone number to the ad in the paper and calls sounding like all different sorts of people. Finally he calls in sounding like a saint. She asks his name and he sees the words "doubt fire" in the paper and blurts out "Mrs. Doubtfire"... That's how the name was created. Nevertheless, his brother makes him a fantastic older woman mask and he dresses up and Shabang! He's a wonderful nanny Mrs. Doubtfire! The whole movie is full of hilarious parts and extremely great writing. This is a must for any family!!

Summary: Divorce need NOT be the end of shared parenthood!
Review: With a strong will to suspend our disbelief, we can get past Robin Williams "not fooling ANYBODY" when he does "granny drag" to get hired as housekeeper by his unsuspecting ex-wife. This is the only way he gets to spend some time with his children. There are many funny moments in this movie, but just as many times where we get to think about what divorce means to all those involved. In Mrs. Doubtfires words "...sometimes mommies and daddies still love each other, but they just can't live together anymore". It's ok to have divorced parents; still better than to live with married parents who can't get along. My favorite scene is the "walk-by fruiting" of the Pierce Brosnan character. Sally Field is lovable as always as the mom who can't take another day of her husband's childish antics. This is not a 5 star movie, but I give it a solid 4!****

Summary: Mrs. Doubtfire is a great movie!
Review: Mrs. Doubtfire is a great movie. It stars Robin Williams as Daniel Hillard, who is in the middle of a divorce. A court ruling states that Daniel may only see his children once a week, on Saturdays. When he hears that his wife put an ad in the newspaper for a housekeeper, he drives to "Uncle Frank & Aunt Jack's" Shop. They do the makeup, and make him a "woman" through body suits and masks. When he gets the job, he's thrilled about being able to see his kids everyday. But something bad happens-Daniel's wife finds that he is the nanny. After a deal made between him and his wife, the kids, Chris, Lydia, and Nati(lie), all get a big surprise.

Summary: The funniest movie around!!
Review: This is truly the funniest movie I have ever seen in my life! Robin Williams is hilarious as Daniel Hillard and Mrs. Doubtfire. His saucy performance makes this a classic that many people will watch again and again. Sally Field is also terrific, and the children (Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence, and Mara Wilson) are all fantastic as well. This movie is constantly played over and over at my house.
