If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is a nice wee film for children and adults alike. Robin Williams does a wonderful and hilarious portrayal of Mrs Doubtfire. It has an interesting storyline of a man willing to do anything to be with his 3 kids. The film is not only hilarious, it is also touching and brings real life and unpleasant situations like divorce to the surface. The film also has a realistic ending, as the parents didn't end up getting back together but the ending was still happy and satisfactory.

All these years later I'm still surprised this movie was such a hit. It stinks. It's the story of an unsympathetic jerk. Would anyone really like to see their daughter or sister married to a guy like that? It's not helped that he's played by an "outrageous" Robin Williams (top 3 most overrated actors). How did movie win the oscar for Best Makeup? The makeup looks ridiculous. Plus this movie breaks a cardinal rule in comedy. "Mrs Doubtfire" is mean to the new boyfriend without reason. Pierce Brosnan's character is a nice guy. His character needs to be set up as a villian before all the "funny" stuff can happen to him. Otherwise it's not funny, it's assault.

Robin Williams unleashes his whole comedic talent in this classic comedy. Mrs. Doubtfire is one of those movies that you will be remember for a long, long, time.The story is about an unemployed and irresponsible Robin Williams who loves his kids with all his heart, unfortunately he can only see his kids once a week because of his divorce, to see them more often, he dresses up as a housekeeper and starts working in his wife's home.This movie is HILARIOUS! Robin Williams truly shines by doing all kinds of voices and impressions, as well as setting up some amazing jokes.The character of Mrs. Doubtfire is great, and she doesn't even look like Robin Williams, its amazing.The supporting characters also do a great job and are completely believable in their roles.The cinematography and editing is as good as you can imagine. The soundtrack was surprisingly enjoyable, and the makeup is great of course.But what really makes the movie shine is Robin Williams. There was truly, no one else that could fill this role. His performance is so hilarious and full of energy, and you can't help but smile when you see him. Of course, he is also great in the more quiet and touching moments of the film, he knows when to make you feel sad.The only problem I have with the film is that some things feel kind of rushed. Like the divorce, and some other plot points, which didn't get the necessary screen time, but it is just a nitpick. I am sure that an extra scene or two would have fixed the problem (maybe those scenes were just cut).You should definitely watch this movie, it doesn't matter if you love movies, or just want to watch something fun, just watch it.

This sentimental nonsense isn't realistic. Its attempts at humour are pathetically lame. The plot is preposterous - a divorced father pretends to be a woman in order to be employed as a housekeeper in the house of his ex-wife and their children. As if none of them would notice that it's him!
