There were many instances when Robin Williams tried to break the concentration of Pierce Brosnan. In the scene when Brosnan (Stu) was attempting to choke on the shrimp, Williams kept making sexually suggestive comments to make his task much more difficult. See more »

Robin Williams stars as a divorcee who decides to see his children a lot more by posing as an elderly British woman in this smart and innovative comedy that works because of Williams' performance more than anything else. Sally Field is solid as the ex-wife and Pierce Brosnan is excellent as her new love interest. Great comedy that could be best described as a poor man's "Tootsie". 4 stars out of 5.
