Summary: A Charming Movie!
Review: Mrs. Doubtfire is a cute movie, it's one of Robin Williams best movies and he was hilarious. He plays an unemployed actor who's wife dumps him because of what she thinks is irresponsible behavior including letting his sons birthday party get out of hand and after a rather messy divorce only gives him limited visitation rights he disguises himself as an older woman when he hears his ex wife played by Sally Field is looking for a nanny/housekeeper for their kids and she hires him thinking he is really Mrs. Doubtfire and what follows is a great hilarious movie with some tender moments that tug at your heartstrings and I highly recommend this movie! Not only is Robin Williams good but so is the rest of the cast including Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan and little Mara Wilson.

Summary: This Is A Cute Movie!
Review: This is one of Robin Williams best movies and it's so funny, he plays a guy who gets divorced and his ex-wife played by Sally Field thinks he's immature and a bad influence on their children so he gets only very limited visits with them and misses them so much that when he learns that his ex-wife is looking for a nanny to help take care of the kids while she's at work he decides this is a way that he can fool his ex-wife and spend more time with his kids so he dresses up as a woman he calls Mrs. Doubtfire and completely fools everyone and they are so impressed with Mrs. Doubtfire that his ex-wife hires her/him and the result is a bunch of funny scenes.Robin Williams is great and so are Sally Field and Pirece Brosnan and the children especially the adorable Mara Wilson and Matthew Lawrence.

Summary: Movie great, but beware - Bonus features not as advertised!
Review: This is yet another wonderful film with Robin Williams.
However, if you are like me and enjoy the bonus features on DVDs, beware - this one does NOT have all of the features advertised on the DVD case... What is NOT included is: Theatrical trailer(s), TV spot(s)
Over 30 minutes of deleted scenes
Behind-the-scenes footage of make-up tests and application I still loved the movie and would recommend it to anyone, but Fox just plain lied on the DVD case about what was included.

Summary: You mean like Shelley Winters older or Shirley MacLaine old?
Review: In 1993, Chris Columbus directed one of the funniest films that Robin Williams has ever starred in: "Mrs. Doubtfire". Based upon the novel "Alias Madame Doubtfire" written by Anne Fine, Robin Williams plays the role of Daniel Hillard, a frequently unemployed actor who specializes in voice impersonations. He and his wife Miranda (Sally Field) have three children: Lydia (Lisa Jakub), Chris (Matthew Lawrence) and Natalie (Mara Wilson). With Miranda working as a highly successful designer, Daniel spends more time with the children than she can. After Miranda comes home to find her home in total disarray with an uproarious birthday party for Chris that includes petting-zoo animals, she completely loses her temper and tells Daniel that she wants a divorce. Daniel is dumbstruck and eventually loses custody of the children to Miranda in court, but wants desperately to spend more time with them than his visitation privileges allow. Upon learning that Miranda plans to hire a nanny to stay with the children when she's at work, Daniel decides to present himself as a potential nanny to Miranda. With the aid of his brother Frank (Harvey Fierstein), who is a makeup artist, and his brother's partner Jack (Scott Capurro), Daniel is transformed into a kindly old woman that he names Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire. Fooled by Daniel's disguise, Miranda hires Mrs. Doubtfire. The story heats up even more when Miranda is courted by an old friend, Stuart 'Stu' Dunmeyer (Pierce Brosnan). The acting in the film, especially Sally Field and Robin Williams, is superb and the story is completely engaging. Memorable scenes in the film include Chris' birthday party, Daniel's first interview with the social worker Mrs. Sellner (Anne Haney), Daniel getting a regular job, Daniel's various impersonations over the telephone, Frank & Jack testing various disguises on Daniel, Mrs. Doubtfire cooking her first dinner, Mrs. Sellner's visit to Daniel's apartment, the country club, and the restaurant. Other very memorable characters in the film include Jonathan Lundy (Robert Prosky), the bus driver (Sydney Walker), Mr. Sprinkles (William Newman), and Daniel's boss at the TV station (Joe Bellan). If you enjoy films such as "Tootsie" (1982) and "Some Like It Hot" (1959), you're sure to enjoy "Mrs. Doubtfire". Overall, I rate "Mrs. Doubtfire" with 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a funny and engaging comedy.

Summary: Watch to laugh!
Review: This is one of the funniest movies I have seen, yet I am touched by the message it sent. Daniel (Robin Williams) and Miranda (Sally Field) Hillard divorce because of Daniel's antics and lack of responsibility. Dumbfounded and heartwrenched, Daniel would do anything to see his kids more often. When he learned that Miranda was searching for a nanny to watch the kids while she was at work, he decided to use his talent of voice impersonations to call as various people. When he thinks she had enough of weirdos, he becomes a sweet, old woman and comes up with the name "Doubtfire" from a newspaper clipping. When he gets an interview, he relys on his brother to disguise him as a larger older woman. There are plenty of opportunities to laugh in this film, and not just because of the get-up. Great movie; I'm happy I own it. :)

Summary: Not A Big Robin Williams Fan, But...
Review: It's fine to see Mork from Ork fans gushing about how perfect everything is that Robin Williams has even touched or ever will touch. In reality, however, he's just a decent TV actor who can also do cartoon voice dubs. That's why I feel that when someone like me praises a movie of his, it should mean a lot more. Watching Mrs. Doubtfire, I was forced to admire his sheer guts in tackling this Tootsie role (sans roll) despite the huge success Dustin Hoffman already had with it. Most of Robin's film parts amount to a large junkpile of bad remakes, half-written plots and other "at least it's a fat paycheck" duds. It is also mind boggling how he got an Oscar for his minor foul-mouthed cameo in Good Will Hunting. However, every once in a long while he incredibly rises far above his journeyman talents and rightfully dons the mantle of a true master of the art. (Not that co-star Sally Field was just using up air here, either - she was a great anchor of reality for the film. Which is not an easy task to perform for someone as cute and bubbly as she normally is.) Robin's actually done five other proper acting jobs, which round out an even half dozen when added to Doubtfire. And these few other fine movies are, not surprisingly, parts where he really doesn't play himself: Good Morning Vietnam, Hook, Jumangi, Dead Poets Society and Cadillac Man. Well, most actors when their careers are over should consider themselves lucky to even end up with a trilogy of film classics in the can, after doing the usual 25 to 50 major works. But right now Robin's got those six gems, and he still has time to complete a crown of an even dozen. Of course he'd already have had time to do that by now, if only he had just said no when his agent called to ask him if he wanted to do flop-bound flicks like Shlubber, Jerk or Bicentennial Bum.

Summary: "I'll Just Get The Frock Out Of Here...."
Review: This quiet and unassuming movie stormed movie theaters back in the winter of 1993. I don't think anybody had any idea that it would explode into the behemoth smash that it became. It was well deserved. Director Chris Columbus(Home Alone, Harry Potter) directed this charming tale which stars Robin Williams. Robin plays Daniel Hillard, a man who specializes in voice over work for cartoons. He has a wife and three kids. Daniel's world comes crashing down when his wife Miranda(Sally Field)announces that she wants a divorce. Daniel packs his things and moves out of their nice San Francisco home. Daniel is so depressed that he can't see his kids as often anymore, so he sets out to change that. He goes to his make up artist brother(played by Harvey Fierstein)and creates the disguise of an elderly british woman named Mrs. Doubtfire. He applies for the nanny job his wife is hiring for and gets it. From then on, it's madcap situations as Daniel tries to be a part of his family again and to keep his identity a secret from everyone. Williams is a master. What can I say?. They broke the mold when they made him. This is one of his most impressive performances. Ranging from slapstick goofy to seriously emotional drama. Sally Field, while good, seems to have nothing to do but to look sad. Doesn't it look like her mouth is shaped in the form of a frown?. The supporting cast includes Pierce Brosnan, Robert Prosky, and an uncredited cameo by Martin Mull. The movie, while hilariously funny, also shows how hard and emotional a break up and eventual divorce can be on a family. Even tho it is surrounded by funny stuff, it's a subject matter not to be taken lightly. Everyone here pulled it off and did a magnificent job. Mrs. Doubtfire is a movie to enjoy over and over again.

Summary: fun, wholesome, family entertainment
Review: This is great family movie. It's a funny (with Robin Williams and Sally Fields, how could it not be?), sweet, make-you-cry-at-least-once, kind of film. All my kids love this movie (they range in age from toddler to pre-teen). The values stressed in the movie are really great to see. The importance of love, the importance of forgiveness, the importance of families of every kind, are really explored. I love this movie. We've seen it a few times, and I have no qualms about recommending it as a good family movie.

Summary: Love This Movie!!!!!!!!
Review: I was at my friend's house and we were flipping through the channels on her TV because she has Direct TV and Mrs. Doubtfire was on. I wanted to watch it because Sally Field was in it and I loved watching reruns of The Flying Nun on TV Land. The movie turned out better than I expected. I didn't get to catch the beginning at her house so I rented it and it is now one of my favorite movies of all time so far. I thought it was great that the story was about a father who dressed like a British nanny just so he could spend time with his children. It was very heartwarming. It was also hysterical. I recently bought the VHS when I was out shopping with my sister. I suggest if you haven't seen this movie yet, it's a must-see! You won't be disappointed!

Review: This was fun to watch. Robin Williams versatility is almost as good as Eddie Murphy.
