Mrs Doubtfire
Daniel Hillard, a voice actor living in San Francisco, California, who is a kind man and a loving father to his three kids Lydia, Chris, and Natalie, but Daniel';s wife Miranda sees him as a poor disciplinarian, and a bad role model.

The greater story is sacrificed for schticky gags about a guy dressing as an old woman.

spectacular

Sit-com stuff, then, with laboured farcical interludes, and a mushy post-feminist sensibility. Funny notwithstanding.

A genuinely funny comedy.

The film is not as amusing as the premise, and there were long stretches when I'd had quite enough of Mrs. Doubtfire.

I've rarely laughed so much at a movie I generally disliked.

Williams has to break out of a second-rate "Tootsie" imitation, ankles clamped in pathos and face covered in latex. He pulls it off in the end, but it's not pretty.

The dress, the mask and Mrs. Doubtfire's gentility are inherently limiting, but nothing holds Mr. Williams back when he's on a roll.

Modern comedy classic w/Robin Williams in and out of drag.
July 07, 2005
Mrs. Doubtfire is by no means a bad movie-going experience and still holds up as vintage Robin Williams, but it's certainly an odd idea the more you think about it.

Although overly sappy in places and probably 20 minutes too long, this Robin Williams-in-drag vehicle provides the comic a slick surface for doing his shtick, within a story possessing broad family appeal.

Chris Columbus' only good movie.
