Mrs. Doubtfire.......2007-06-10

This movie is about a man, an immature, irresponsible kind of guy who loves his kids. How can you help but to love a dad who would do anything to be with his children, including dressing up as a woman in order to be their caregiver? It is refreshing to see a movie that shows a father's devotion and love in such a positive light. Robin Williams is a wonderful versatile actor and always gives a fantastic performance no matter what type of role he is playing. And Sally Field is adorable as usual. The family interaction is delightful throughout. This movie is funny, poignant, and entertaining for children and adults alike, a definite family movie sure to be enjoyed by all.

One of the Best Movies EVER.......2007-04-07

This huge 1993 hit for Robin Williams and director Chris Columbus (Home Alone), based on a novel called Alias Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine, stars Williams as a loving but flaky father estranged from his frustrated wife (Sally Field). Devastated by a court order limiting his time with the children, Williams's character disguises himself as a warm, old British nanny who becomes the kids' best friend. As with Dustin Hoffman's performance in Tootsie, Williams's drag act--buried under layers of latex and padding--is the show, and everything and everyone else on screen serves his sometimes frantic role. Since that's the case, it's fortunate that Williams is Williams, and his performance is terribly funny at times and exceptionally believable in those scenes where his character misses his children. Playing Williams's brother, a professional makeup artist, Harvey Fierstein has a good support role in a bright sequence where he tries a number of feminine looks on Williams before settling on Mrs. Doubtfire's visage. --Tom Keogh

A really entertaining movie!.......2007-06-18

Wow! Has it really been 14 years since this movie came out? I remember when I was younger, this was one of my favorite movies. Even today, this movie is still entertaining and I'm not bored with it thusfar.

So what's this movie about? The movie starts out when Daniel Hibbard (played by Robin Williams) decides to throw a big birthday party for his son. His son and two other kids warn him that their mother, Daniel's wife, Miranda, will be upset if she finds out. Daniel throws the party anyway because he didn't expect her to be home for another few hours. Miranda comes home early and finds her house destroyed. Daniel and Miranda have a nasty fight which ultimately leads to a divorce. During the divorce hearing, Daniel gets delivered a blow when the judge gives sole custody of the kids to Miranda with occasional visits given to Daniel. The rest of the movie has Daniel doing whatever it takes to get more time with his kids, including dressing up as a woman and becoming Miranda's maid/babysitter.

So what's to like about this movie? First of all, the storyline is cute. Yes, there's quite a few movies that deal with divorce and overcoming it but movie comes with a twist. Second, although this movie is meant to be a comedy, there's a ton of emotion involved also. Throughout the entire movie, you're rooting for Daniel to get over his many obstacles so that he can get partial custody of the kids. Third, as mentioned above, there are lot of funny scenes. Robin Williams is hilarious and he was made for this role.

And what's not to like? Not much. Don't go into this movie expecting it be Oscar-worthy. It's just a funny, entertaining movie that will pass a couple of hours on a lazy Sunday.

If you're looking for a good movie to watch with your kids or if you want a no frills, comedy to watch with a couple of friends, this movie is a great choice!

IT'S NO TOOTSIE, BUT STILL VERY GOOD!.......2007-04-12

When I first saw the trailer for this film way back when, I though oh no! "Tootsie" Rip Off! I have seen this movie many times and It gets better with repeat viewings. A very smart and funny comedy with a lot of heart. The DVD transfer on the widescreen edition is good with some good extras.

Funniest ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-02-23

I LOVE the movie Mrs.Doubtfire!!!The first time I saw it,I really loved it!Its About This man, Daniel[Robin Williams]and his wife Miranda[Sally Field]And their three kids,Lydia,Chris and Natie.Daniel and his wife break up and Miranda tries to find a house-keeper, to watch the kids after school when she's at work.Daniel calls the house a couple of times and hides his real voice,and does voices of different women.He finally gets a voice that Miranda falls for and dresses up like a women and begins house-keeping.Don't miss this film!

Classic Williams at his finest (and funniest).......2006-10-05

Why Robin Williams can't get an Oscar nod for his specialty (comedy) is beyond me. He's been nominated numerous times, and actually won, for his dramatic roles, but to me Williams will always shine much brighter when making us laugh. To me, arguably his greatest role was that of Daniel Hillard, a very irresponsible married man, father of three, whose wife Miranda (Field) finally has enough and puts him out. In an attempt to see more of his children he disguises himself as Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire, an elderly woman who is hired to take care of the children while their mother is at work. William's is genius as he frantically switches between Daniel and Euphegenia, trying to, through Mrs. Doubtfire, win back his wife and deter her from Stu (Bosnan), the new man in her life. Hysterical from start to finish, `Mrs. Doubtfire' is a sure fire crowd pleaser.

Mrs. Doubtfire.......2006-06-20

This movie is really good and funny. The actors did a great job. If you like comedies, you should definately check this movie out.

A very entertaining movie!.......2007-06-18

I would do anything for my kids.......2006-10-24

Robin Williams in this movie unfolds, for once more, the charisma he has for comedy. His transforming to Mrs. Doubtfire undoubtly brings to mind Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie. Still this is an original movie since Robin Williams does not do it to launch his carrer as an actor, or to win the heart of a woman but he does it to be close to his children.

The movie is hillarious with timeless funny scenes. Pierce Brosnan seems to feel awkward with the things Robin Williams does and you wonder whether he is just acting or he is REALLY feeling this way since Robin Williams does not seem to follow the script but he does his own things.On the same note the kids (especially the youngest one) give you the impression that they are genuinely amused with the things Robin Williams does.

THe movie is filmed in San Fransisco, which along with New York is my favourite city for shooting films. A very entairtening movie with very positive messages about parenthood or even more specific fatherhood. At the end of the movie you come to love and sympathize with Robin Williams accepting him for what he is: A man with wicknesses but with devotion to his children.

Still a favourite :-).......2006-06-04

There are some movies that never get boring even after watching them millions of times over; and for me, this is one of those movies. I love this. It's funny and sad in parts and sometimes it's beyond side splitting.
Robin Williams is fantastic. He is so talented and it shows right from the very start when he's in a recording studio to voice over the cartoon. The range of his talents is astounding. His talent for creating different voices and just being so silly that you laugh is amazing.
When he separates from his wife and can't get to see his kids until he gets a suitable job etc, he goes to big extremes to get quality time with them - he totally transforms himself into a female nanny. What follows is hillarious. It's a classic movie that you CAN see a zillion times. You'll love this heartwarming and hillarious movie - it is still a big hit. I think it's one of Williams' best ever roles. You have to see this.

CLASSIC ROBIN WILLIAMS.......2006-03-22

This movie is without a doubt one of the funniest I have ever seen. Robin Williams is a laugh riot, he has rarely been funnier. I can count on one hand how many movies have had me laughing so hard I was crying, but this is one. The other actors in this movie, like Sally Field and Pierce Brosnan are fine, but it is Williams that steals every scene you just cannot take your eyes off of him. I highly recommend this movie to anyone with loves a good a laugh.

Movie From A Critical Point of View.......2006-03-08

Now there are some serious fans of Robin Williams that will give some biased answers but I will look at the good and the bad both.
First this film was not to seem extremely realistic but funny with good morales being taught. The plot is about divorce and how children cope through an event. Now as a film for entertainment it is very good because of the comedic side (that's if you like comedy). As a film just to waste time on and do nothing it's not the film for you because there is lots of morale taught here and role modeling. As a film to help children I would say it is very good for Child psychology because Divorce for children is very difficult for them to understand and this film is good role modeling about the feelings children have.

Let's look at the Pro's and Con's

Pro's (Goods)
1. It is a movie with lots of good morales taught.
2. Is movie that raises hope for children
3. Comedy is done very well with much satire on the old idea of cross dressing.
4. The Actors are very good and experienced so their skill is brought into the film

Con's (Bad)
1. There are a few slip ups on the camera but if you haven't watched it time and time again you won't notice it.
2. Somewhat demonizes the female or single mother. But this depends on point of view. Single mothers are just as good as single fathers

Now this depends on your own personal point of view. Overall if you want a good comedy with some emotions and morals thrown in then this is a very fullfilling movie. If you want only comedy and no meaning and no lessons to be learned then this may not satisfy you.

Personally this is a very good comedy and would be considered a family movie. I give it 5 stars but again this depends on what you want.

Movie Rating.......2007-01-30

These movies were a good deal to buy together. But as a Christian I was shocked at the Cuss words in Mrs. Doubtfire. I won't let my children watch it anymore and I had forgotten How God's name is taken in vain. The Man From Snowy River was great. The night we watched it part 2 came on the Hallmark channel so it was perfect. Movies with good values, action, and character are hard to find these days.
The Sound of Music was beautiful.
I haven't watched Dr. Doolitle but I just hope and pray for God to be glorified and respected in all movies. I just don't understand why anyone would intentionally blaspheme God in a movie.
Still a good deal for 1 or 2 movies!

A Great Deal!.......2006-01-29

Considering that the recent prices of Mrs Doubtfire DVD (in Jan 2006) are hovering around $30, this is a very good deal! With shipping (from Amazon's partner's, I was able to get 6 DVDs for about eight bucks apiece.

Excellent set at a good price.......2003-11-03

For the price, this set can't be beat. You get "Big," one of the best films of the 80s (for which Tom Hanks should have picked up an Oscar); "Mrs. Doubtfire," featuring Robin Williams at his lunatic best; "Dr. Dolittle 1 & 2" (Eddie Murphy versions); the all-time classic "The Sound of Music," and the excellent (and somewhat hard to find) "The Man From Snowy River." To be honest, a couple of these films have content that some may not consider "family-friendly": There's some mild sexual content (and some language) in "Big;" both "Dr. Dolittle" films have a few innuendos and toilet humor; and "The Man From Snowy River" has some mild violence. If you don't mind such content, then this is a pretty good value for 6 films; though you only save $5-10 dollars over buying them separately. This is a nice set to start a collection or to give as a gift.

One of those rare films that you can watch again and again. Robin Williams plays his best role ever as a divorce Father who with the help of his make up artist brother answers an advert ( placed by his ex wife) as a housekeeper dressed as a middle aged woman- Mrs Doubtfire.

The film has to be watched again and again not so much for the film contents but it has excellent one liners that you could miss easily. The casting is by far one of the best and yet it should be up there with planes trains and automobiles as a all time classic.
