Description: After a
bitter divorce, an actor (Robin Williams) disguises himself as a female
housekeeper to spend time with his children held in custody by his former wife
(Sally Field).
Review: “Mrs. Doubtfire” is universally acclaimed as a heartwarming family
classic, carried by and iconic and award-winning performance by Robin Williams.
A favorite for my family when I was a kid. Although the film is known for its
slapstick humor, I always appreciated the serious undertones regarding divorce
and parenthood.
Robin Williams plays Daniel
Hillard, a divorces father who disguises himself as the British nanny Mrs.
Doubtfire to be with his children. He is the heart of the film. The film dares
to present an honest portrayal of the impact of divorce on children and
fatherhood, without resorting to a standard “happy ending” where the parents get
back together.
This film brings back so many
memories and as an adult I can still appreciate this film.
