Review of Mrs Doubtfire (DVD)

Introduction ~ Mrs. Doubtfire is about a mother and father getting divorced, but its not quite as simple as that - they have children. The father Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) is given a few hours a week to see his children by a court. For someone who has seen their children everyday since the they were born a few hours a week proves too little for Daniel. Except his ex-wife Miranda Hillard is looking for a childminder to look after the children ...
...see his children more, he'd do anything. So he dresses up as a 60 year old woman but Daniel does it well, proper, he fools everyone. After all Daniels old job was doing voiceovers for cartoons so a woman's voice shouldn't prove too difficult and his brother Frank specializes in making masks. So there you have it, a 38 year old man turns into a 60 year old woman. Just like that. Cast ~ Director Chris Columbus couldn't have found anybody better to ...

...new nanny he poses as Mrs Doubtfire, 60, worked for the Smithe family of Elbourne England, Smithe not smith dear. She seems nice and NORMAL, compared to the other responses Miranda receives from Daniel in other scary characters as a transsexual, a child-beating heavy metal groupie and others - you know. The usual responses. Mrs Doubtfire is hired and the fun begins. As it is catergorized as a child's or "family" film, I think it is much deeper. The ...
...Mrs Doubtfire accidentally setting alight her fake rubber breasts - but beyond the gags that appeal to five year olds, lies a much more adult humour. The movie is brimming with sexual innuendo with references to "power tools in the bedroom that could crack pavement" (I'm not aware of any five year olds who would understand this) and Doubtfire's "late husband" who's idea of foreplay was "Effie. Brace yourself...". It's not for those lacking intellect. ...

...bat, Barbara Streisend and … Mrs Doubtfire herself! So, when he/she gets to the house, he puts on an Irish accent and Daniel suddenly becomes Mrs Doubtfire! Well, at the beginning she’s a shit cook, cleaner, washer-upper, and housemaid. But, after a good few weeks Mrs Doubtfire becomes a wiz around the kitchen and the house, and in-between nattering on about Daniel/himself with Miranda, he’s either cleaning the lounge or doing ...
...played his part well as Mrs Doubtfire, and really does make you laugh. If in his other films Robin Williams annoys you, don’t let this film put you off this film. Robin Williams is his usual annoying self the first ten minutes of the film, but afterwards we see a new him. Sally Field – Steel Magnolias, Soapdish, - played her part excellently as Miranda, and really made you laugh, and pity her. She managed to do the exact expressions ...

...goes on to show Mrs Doubtfire as the nanny and the kids start to like the father better because Mrs Doubtfire is stricked but the film goes on showing Robin Williams becoming the housewife and he helps the kids with there studies but when going to the toilet the boy accidently catches Mrs Doubtfire having a wazz (piss, wee, pee whatever you want) standing up, the boy then runs to the eldest girl and they find out about the secret and Robin tell them ...
...they start to go out, Mrs Doubtfire goes out with them while they take the kids to a swimming pool/bar in which Robin Williams throws some fruit at the man who is hitting on his ex-wife (someone thourght this funny and you know where he is now, in a mental institute J/K). Daniel then gets a job in a T.V studio as a shipper (I have no idea what the real name of it is but thats what he does so its good enough for me) at the start of the middle but ...

...Robin Williams, as Mrs Doubfire, has captivated the hearts of adults and children alike. The lovable granny who does a wonderful dance scene with a hover and a broom is witness to Williams' incredible talent as a comedian. His facial expressions are suddenly those of an old woman, his movements controlled and his body language as neutral as he possibly can. I personally felt that playing such a highly comical role could be quite difficult, but Robin ...
...the old woman's role to perfection. I would genuinely recommend this movie to you in order to see Williams trudging around in the bodysuit which would open new avenues for other such movies as Big Mama. I also loved the various expressions on Sally Field's face throughout the movie. I believe that she is one actress who can certainly take close-up shots in any situation because she handles the expressions with an incredible mastery. DVD Extras include: ...
