    Storyline

    Edit
    Eccentric actor Daniel Hillard is an amusing and caring father. But after a disastrous birthday party for his son, Chris, his wife, Miranda, draws the line and files a divorce. He can see their three children only once a week which doesn't sit well with him. He also holds a job at a TV studio as a shipping clerk under the recommendation of his liason. But when Miranda puts out an ad for a nanny, he takes it upon himself to make a disguise as a British lady named Mrs. Doubtfire. And he must also deal with Miranda's new boyfriend, Stu Dunemyer. —Blazer346

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to one biography, Robin Williams decided to test out the believability of his Mrs. Doubtfire character during filming by going as Mrs. Doubtfire into an adult bookstore and making a purchase. He was able to do so without being recognized.
    • Goofs
      Stu's Stunt double can be seen when he jumps off the diving board at the pool area.
    • Quotes

      Miranda: What happened?

      Mrs. Doubtfire: He was quite fond of the drink. It was the drink that killed him.

      Miranda: How awful. He was an alcoholic?

      Mrs. Doubtfire: No, he was hit by a Guinness truck. So it was quite literally the drink that killed him.

    • Alternate versions
      The Australian DVD was made using the cut UK version, meaning it has 13 seconds of dialogue cut despite no previous censorship problems. VHS, theatrical and television versions are all intact.

    funny comedy!!
    Many people say that Mrs Doubtfire is one of the funniest movies ever made in the U.S. I agree with the above idea. I think Robin Williams is one of the best comedians in the world. His performance in this movie is perfect and gives us a lot of laugh. There are also some impressive scenes in which performance of the three kid actors really shine.

    In addition, the storyline is easy to understand and is for everybody. It is a heart-warming movie which gives us a lot of laugh and tear. Through this movie, we can learn the divorce situation in the U.S. We can also recognize the importance of family bonds.

    Persdonally, it is a little regrettable that the story does not have a happy ending. I wish they could together happily again.

    This is a very funny comedy but it also help us grow. I want to see Mrs. Doubtfire repeatedly in my life.
