Mrs. Doubtfire is one of those classic films I remember from when I was very young. I recently had the chance to see the film on HBO and record it. This is one of those films kids and adults can watch together. Children will love the physical gags and adults can get the more mature jokes and not worry about the kids because chances are, it'll go right over their heads.
Robin Williams is hysterical as Danial Hillard, a recent divorcee hating every minute of it. The struggling actor is, as he puts it, "addicted to his kids". And now he has 90 days to prove that he is a responsible adult and can hold a steady job and create a living environment with his kids, all while only seeing his kids for a couple hours on Saturdays.
Soon Danial finds out that his corporate ex-wife is looking for a nanny. With a little help from his gay brother and 'Aunt' Jack his is turned into a British nanny. Easily he is back into his family's life in the skin of Mrs Euphegenia Doutfire.
Whats is also so great about this film is the references to other great films with a similar nature such as Some Like It Hot, Kramer vs. Kramer, Sunset Blvd, and Psycho. Robin Williams' excellent and layered voices also add comic genus that kids and adults can both enjoy.
