Product Description
Movie DVD
Amazon.com essential video
This huge 1993 hit for Robin Williams and director Chris Columbus (Home Alone), based on a novel called Alias Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine, stars Williams as a loving but flaky father estranged from his frustrated wife (Sally Field). Devastated by a court order limiting his time with the children, Williams's character disguises himself as a warm, old British nanny who becomes the kids' best friend. As with Dustin Hoffman's performance in Tootsie, Williams's drag act--buried under layers of latex and padding--is the show, and everything and everyone else on screen serves his sometimes frantic role. Since that's the case, it's fortunate that Williams is Williams, and his performance is terribly funny at times and exceptionally believable in those scenes where his character misses his children. Playing Williams's brother, a professional makeup artist, Harvey Fierstein has a good support role in a bright sequence where he tries a number of feminine looks on Williams before settling on Mrs. Doubtfire's visage. --Tom Keogh

 Mrs. Doubtfire May 9, 2009
A. Wood (USA)
Mrs. Doubtfire is a great movie that brings home some of the feelings, trials and problems that a seperation or divorce can cause with children. This movie addresses the guy's side of the divorce or seperation and his relationship with his children. This is all done in a fun fast paced joking way with Robin Williams and Sally Field making you want to laugh and cry at the same time.

This was one of my favorite movies when it first came out; then I shared it with my two grandchildren as they grew, and I got hooked! I had a video tape of it and wore it out, and knew that I had to have a DVD so I could watch it until I am old and gray. This "fantasy" movie is more parallel to real life than any of the junk that is passing for good entertainment now. Robin Williams, Sally Fields, et al. are perfectly cast. When I want to feel good or I need a pick-me-up, I pop this DVD in the player, relax and enjoy.
Another Childhood Favorite!!! March 25, 2009

Ever since I was a kid, I've loved this movie! It was always hilarious to see Robin Williams dressed as a woman. Throughout the film, it has the classic plot about being two places and two people at once. When Daniel Hillard is devastated by a divorce, and hardly sees his children, he comes up with a scheme to be the new nanny, so he disguises himself as an old woman named Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire. He gets himself into hilarious situations! I highly recommend MRS. DOUBTFIRE!!!

The movie is a classic. One of Robin Williams best performances. The alterative scenes which are left out of the movie are on this DVD. Plus many other features on how this movie was made.
 family oriented except for language February 15, 2009

I bought this to watch with my 11, 8 & 6 year old. It has kid antics in it as well as the typical mom vs dad issues and overall we enjoyed it. However, the language left something to be desired as I think it could have been just as effective without the "goddamns", and expressions of that sort.
