Rob from GuysFilmQuest88
Dave Examines Movies87(full review)
Sober Film Critic James Brown80 - Mrs. Doubtfire is undoubtedly one of my favorite childhood movies. With Robin Williams and his talented supporting cast at the top of their game comically, a premise that was far more novel at the time (though one can make thematic comparisons to older films like Some Like It Hot), and fun, clever direction from Chris Columbus, this wholesome film hits the spot.
