Mrs. Doubtfire
1993 Directed by Chris Columbus
Synopsis
She makes dinner. She does windows. She reads bedtime stories. She's a blessing... in disguise.
Loving but irresponsible dad Daniel Hillard, estranged from his exasperated spouse, is crushed by a court order allowing only weekly visits with his kids. When Daniel learns his ex needs a housekeeper, he gets the job -- disguised as an English nanny. Soon he becomes not only his children's best pal but the kind of parent he should have been from the start.

One of the films I grew up with (I remember going to see it at the cinema when I was six) and still one of the funniest films of its kind, Mrs Doubtfire has enduring appeal despite its flaws and adherence to formula. Robin Williams is either hilarious or unbearable depending on the film and here he gives one of his greatest performances (though this is certainly no Good Morning Vietnam). I'm reduced to little more than the arrhythmic laughter of a giddy kid while watching, and when it's over, I feel like I could watch Williams do Doubtfire for hours longer. A magnificent, mirthful mess.

O filme é pouco engraçado. Mas tem uma mensagem bonitinha.

I always forget how incredible this movie is. Then I watch it and relive the amazingness. "It was a drive by fruiting!"

This comedy is one of Robin Williams greatest successes. This movie shows the life of a divorced man who is addicted to his children. Unfortunately, his wife gained full custody of his children. In order to see his beloved children, he has to put his acting into motion. Hey disguises himself as an old woman to be their housekeeper. While working, there are no promises of smooth sailing for him. Say hello to surprises and trouble

I know why she filed for divorce, it was because the script demanded it. Otherwise it's difficult to see why she'd be such a bitch to a devoted father by giving him so little time to spend with their children. Somehow it's hard to buy she'd end it after just a silly birthday party (in which though he was irresponsible, he was making the children happy), specially after spending 14 years with him; it's not like she didn't know how he was.
Even if that was really the case, it all came off fakish.
Which brings me to my other point; if he was able to change into a responsible woman, why didn't he change in the first place to…

Williams is creepy end of story.

Enjoyable, funny. I like how brash 90s humor can be. Sigh.

Definitely one of Williams' more interested roles, but I can't say the film is anything great.
