Mrs. Doubtfire

Avi Green | 9:48 p.m. Aug. 19, 1999

I'm not that big a fan of Robin Williams(who can be a real
fan of his after seeing him in Mork & Mindy?), but Mrs.
Doubtfire was a very charming comedy-drama, about a TV
comic and cartoon voice specialist who dresses in drag as a
way to be able to see his children when he loses custody
during a divorce from his wife, Sally Field. Keep in mind
though, that the story, if to be seen by kids, should be
seen by kids in their teen years. Pierce Brosnan, who I
remember fondly from his Remington Steele days, is also
very good as Sally's new boyfriend.

Mrs. Doubtfire is my favorite movie. It is light hearted,
entertaining, absolutely hilarious, and shines some light
on the ugly aspects of divorce. Robin Williams is at his
best in the fast paced scenes in this movie. Mrs. Doubtfire
is the most entertaining movie that I have ever seen.
Robin Williams is histerical and the cast adds to his
energy to make this movie deserve four stars.

I think that Robin Willims gives an award winning
performance as well as Sally Fields. This is by far the
best family movie of the millennium. Not only was I
roaring
with laughter, but I also saw a sentimental point as well.
The cast was excepionally filled with talented and it all
paid off in the end.
