    funny and wonderful movie!

    Many people say that "Mrs.Doubtfire" is one of the funniest movies ever made in the U.S. I agree with the above idea for the following two reasons. First,performance of the voice of Robin Williams is very wonderful.For example, he uses a lot of funny ad lib in the stand-in of animation in the first scene. Second, Robin Williams and Sally Field as well as the three children act very delightfully though the movie deals with a rather serious theme---warmth and importance of family. Some people say Sally Field doesn't act well in this movie. But, I think that she acts a role of a wife whom is worried about her husband excelentlly. We feel big love of both father and mother toward children. It is not only a real funny comedy but also a real wonderful family movie.

    A TRULY TOUCHING, COMICAL MASTERPIECE

    MRS. DOUBTFIRE is easily one of the best movies ever made. Robin Williams makes audiences laugh and cry at his portrayal of a loving father who wants nothing more than to be with his children. After a painful divorce, he tries to gain custody of his children. This is the premise of the film. Along the way, of course, there are plenty of laughs, especially some great moments with Harvey Fierstein as Williams' brother and hair stylist. This film is so moving that it deserves to be seen by everyone.

    Funny And Heartfelt

    "Mrs. Doubtfire" is an extremely funny and heartfelt film. It has tons of laughs as well as tears, this is definitly Robin Williams' best film. Watching williams do voices as well as play Mrs. Doubtfire is a real treat. Also the supporting cast of actors do an excellent job, I highly reccomend it.

    Finally a Film to Fully Display Williams' Comedic Talents.

    Robin Williams stars as a divorcee who decides to see his children a lot more by posing as an elderly British woman in this smart and innovative comedy that works because of Williams' performance more than anything else. Sally Field is solid as the ex-wife and Pierce Brosnan is excellent as her new love interest. Great comedy that could be best described as a poor man's "Tootsie". 4 stars out of 5.

    A eccentric life!!

    Many people say that gMrs. Doubtfireh is one of the funniest movies. I agree with the above idea. First, one of the funniest scene for me is when Mrs. Sellner comes to Danielfs apartment and he transforms between himself and Mrs. Doubtfire so quickly. This busy scene brings constant laughing to us. The second funniest scene for me is when Mrs. Doubtfire cooks the dinner for the first time and she burns her clothes. The scene not only funny but also thrilling and my heart fluttered with worry, too.

    I know that some people claim that the storyline is too unrealistic, but I think there are few fathers who love their children as deeply as Daniel.

    This movie is not only funny but also impressive. I rate this movie at 8/10.

      Mrs. Doubtfire: Oh... as I hold this cold meat, I'm reminded of Winston. God rest his soul.

      Miranda: When did he pass on?

      Mrs. Doubtfire: Eight years ago, dear, this November.

      Miranda: What happened?

      Mrs. Doubtfire: He was quite fond of the drink. It was the drink that killed him.

      Miranda: How awful. He was an alcoholic?

      Mrs. Doubtfire: No, he was hit by a Guinness truck. So it was quite literally the drink that killed him.
