Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Robin Williams' best!
For years, I have been waiting for this movie to come to DVD. As I had worn out the copy I had on VHS, this movie was a lost treasure. Now on DVD loaded with bonus features, this is the true DVD treasure. It's also nice to have it as a digital transfer so it looks good on an HD-upconverting dvd player. Best comedy of the 90's.
Rating:  - She's in charge.
Mrs. Doubtfire starring Robin Williams is pretty hilarious. This is an oldie but goodie, Williams is nearly flawless in this dual role. Not sure who cast Sally Field but she seems out of place in this comedy. Pierce Brosnan is easy on the eyes, he's still gorgeous to this day! I like this film but I've watched so much I got kind of sick of it. Good movie to watch with family and friends, enjoy!
Rating: - perfect
This item came ontime and was in perfect condition. Just the way it should be
Rating: - Love this movie
I purchased this movie in VCR form years ago. I wanted to get it on DVD because it was a movie I wanted to last for a long time. Love Robin Williams and Sally Field.
Rating: - Mrs Doubtfire - Behind the Seams Edition
I have always liked the movie. One line that Robin Williams has to do with not buying gribnis from my moyel. I found out what that meant today. Gribnis is pork rinds. Moyel or mohal is a Rabbi or doctor that does circumcision. I think if you like funny this is the movie.
