Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

8	Boobjuice	15 _13th
A deeply unsettling film that cynically attempts to make the audience SYMPATHIZE with a man who would so crassly deceive his own children, betray their trust, and invade their privacy... all while absurdly disguised as an elderly British nanny. The premise is utter bullshit in every possible way. In fact, "Mrs. Doubtfire" is often cited by Islamic terrorists as their primary incentive for attacking the United States.

A lot of people hate this movie but I will give it some points due to Williams all out gusto in what is actually kind of a difficult role. Some parts are really disturbing. Essentially Robin Williams is insane (shocker) and loses custody of his kids for being an irresponsible unemployed weirdo. To combat this image, he naturally begins crossdressing as an old woman, and is hired to nanny to his own children. Cut and print.

Robin Williams, and anyone who likes this movie, should be killed. For the good of humanity.

Love this movie! Hilarious, but also touching--and very interesting given the time period as I believe it was one of the first mainstream movies to focus on the affects of divorce in a family. Robin Williams makes a great "woman" (see also Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie"--another good comedy!)

Robin Williams is hilarious in this. An excellent showcase of the dying art of physical comedy. Some people on Criticker seem to think this movie is "creepy" or "condescending". You've got to be kidding me. I think they're missing "the point". My favorite part was the run-by fruiting!

This movie is the definition of bad. How anyone finds it funny or appealing in any way is beyond me. I once had a nightmare that Robin Williams dressed as Mrs. Doubtfire was trying to kill me. It still wasn't as horrifying as this movie though.

I'm sure it's hokey and mediocre, and I believe everyone who says so without reservation. But to hell with it, because I laughed until I pissed when I saw this when I was 8! "He's a she! She's a he! He's a she-he!" I'll stick with my fond memories rather than acknowledge reality.

Robin Williams is annoying. Robin Williams speaking in that accent is annoying times infinity.
3	purgatos	31 _10th
This is really kind of difficult to watch, the movie seems to hate you for trying to see it.
3	Luna6ix	77 _61st
For an entire generation of people this is an iconic, kid friendly comedy. While there have been funnier movies, I don't think anyone will argue that for being a comedian, Robin Williams starred in far too few pure comedies, so cherish the ones we have.
3	TangVampire	95 _79th
Hilarious and adorable. Robin Williams is genius in this.
2	Dorkovsky	1 _2nd
One of the worst movies ever made. The fact that it has been immortalized into 90's pop culture makes me feel sad and ashamed to be an American, and a human.
2	BattleToad	83 _69th
This is Robin Williams at his comedic best. He proves himself to be an incredibly flexible and talented actor, and though Mrs. Doubtfire never really puts him to the test, it is a monumentally enjoyable family comedy. Really good!
2	Murravener	78 _53rd
Robin Williams shines in this dramatic comedy about a guy who must fake being a nanny in order to see his own kids.
2	MJVmovieMan	76 _72nd
An unforgettable funny offering of Robin Williams in one of his most iconic roles. "The terrorist he ran that way! It was a run-by-fruiting!" "Oh you wicked, wicked monkey!"
2	Grit	70 _74th
Good comedy movie with some very memorable moments. I know there is a lot of hate going around for it, but to be honest I don't understand why at all.
2	pantone801	80 _85th
I am not usually a fan of Robin Williams, but he handled this role beautifully.
2	BillyShears	75 _65th
Dangerous Psychotic Father: The Movie
2	dst7175	88 _96th
Robin Williams best what a great movie.
2	Green Goblin	93 _98th
The best comedy film ever made. This film will make you laugh from the beginning to its ending.
2	Optimus_mike	30 _14th
Extremely disturbing, probably the best American horror movie ever made.
2	Mihon	79 _77th
I loved this movie's beginning with the cartoon, I was 10 years old when I saw this and was like "yey, cartoon" the it puls out of the frame and suddenly I see a hairy comedian doing the voice, this was the first time I saw where the voices comes from in the cartoon and was chocked, my magic for movies was gone. I saw a adult man dressing like a women to get a job as a housekeeper to be with his children - desperate?. Nah I loved it and I think its one of the best movie from my childhood
2	mwgerb	33 _18th
My favorite jokes in this are the ones about how Robin Williams' accent shtick isn't funny. Despite this, he's oddly lovable in the role. I think that's a microcosm of the film as a whole: oddly lovable, not at all good.
2	guy piranha	60 _40th
A 40-something manchild turns to crossdressing in order to become a more responsible person and better parent to his children. Did i really just watch this?? And how is it not more awesome?!
2	CMonster	60 _37th
It was ok, I really do like Robin Williams though. Also not as good as Tobias Funke doing Mrs. Featherbottom in Arrested Development. If it was a movie about that it would probably be ranked about 90.

For a man who hates Robin Williams, this wasn't that bad. It had a couple funny parts. I'd never watch it again, though.
1	Magb	20 _4th
Such a desperately lame concept for a movie, it's actually a little bit funny in its insipidness. The film itself, however, is trash.
1	lachapelle	40 _12th
This movie is just okay. Robin Williams is okay. Sally Field is okay. Pierce Brosnan is a little better than okay. It gets 10 bonus points for the memorable line about "a drive-by fruiting"
1	lrampartl	43 _20th
Every time I see it, it gets a little more annoying.
1	lonercm	10 _8th
Trite, sentimental garbage in the typical vein of idiot director Chris Columbus.
1	Anomaly	32 _9th
Well I can say in its favor I did enjoy it originally as a kid, and a few of William's improvs are funny. On the other hand, it's creepy and hard to watch. It's a bit disconcerting to have such a nice and positive message about family and diversity after two hours of puerile, homophobic and transphobic jokes. No thanks.
1	gtrmp	45 _22nd
Robin Williams begins his insufferable phase of combining grating, frequently clichéd comic mugging with mawkish, please-won't-someone-love-me tenderhearted family-oriented bullshit. Still, it's better than Patch Adams.
1	gtown1479	77 _60th
Ooooh it was a drive-by fruiting. I do have a special place in my heart for this movie. But lets not go to far. I don't like it that much.
1	rrevell	65 _15th
Doubt I'll ever watch it again.
1	Garlonuss	70 _27th
An interesting turn for Robin Williams at this point in his career, attempting to be both funny and heartfelt at the same time. Not entirely successful, but definitely memorable.
1	Bmunise	25 _4th
They got this guy to direct Harry Potter films. This guy. Right here.
1	jordanlige	100 _51st
very funny 10 out of 10
1	Myszatek	70 _41st
Quite decent comedy. Very good drama. But still mediocre at best
1	overrated	16 _9th
SHOOT HER! SHOOOOOT HER!!
1	Cinema_Asia	55 _19th
Cornball stuff that is essentially a rehash of the much superior Tootsie in a lot of ways. Robin Williams is a good actor though and he manages to carry this far enough that it's not totally stupid. The "father will do anything to get his estranged kids back" angle was played out even for the early 90's though. It's still filled with insipid dialog and not nearly clever enough to be called good.
1	glumpy_99	81 _63rd
RIP Robin Williams - Enjoyable family comedy makes too many 'cute' missteps, and suffers from a premise which stretches credibility as presented, but is still made worthwhile in fits and starts for Williams the brilliant comedic improviser; while Williams' Doubtfire lacks the personality of Hoffman's Tootsie, many funny lines and situations abound (especially whenever Brosnan's fine turn as hapless straight man is on screen). Conclusion is the most convincing aspect, and remains quietly moving.
1	RandallODim	67 _19th
I preferred the version with Tobias Funke.
1	Paxton	43 _13th
I just wish to God that Robin Williams would find a role that would allow him to be zany.
1	LookJabba...	7 _57th
Mrs. Doubtfire may be an odd story with questionable outcomes. But what Robin Williams does with this character is extraordinary. Anybody else would have made this a deeply unsettling experience. But Robin Williams brings such warmth & charm to a completely bizarre series of events. Whilst Sally Field importantly keeps the story somewhere close to the ground. I still watch and laugh at this film through the eyes of a child. And it's the naivety of a child that allows me to see past the flaws.

hit too close to home
