    • 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.

    A TRULY TOUCHING, COMICAL MASTERPIECE
    MRS. DOUBTFIRE is easily one of the best movies ever made. Robin Williams makes audiences laugh and cry at his portrayal of a loving father who wants nothing more than to be with his children. After a painful divorce, he tries to gain custody of his children. This is the premise of the film. Along the way, of course, there are plenty of laughs, especially some great moments with Harvey Fierstein as Williams' brother and hair stylist. This film is so moving that it deserves to be seen by everyone.
