James Brown-tosaurus!

Just imagine "Good Morning Vietnam" transposed to San Francisco and you've basically got "Mrs. Doubtfire". Out of work and now divorced, Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) comes up with the most whacked-out plan: he dresses up as the elderly British nanny Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire. From there, he's basically free to be as crazy as possible.

Obviously, this movie may be overall about the importance of family, but it is a great excuse for Robin Williams to have a series of great lines (I really liked the scene where he was playing with the dinosaurs). With great support from Sally Field as ex-wife Miranda, Pierce Brosnan as her new hubby Stuart Dunmeyer, and Harvey Fierstein as Daniel's hairdresser brother Frank (I'm assuming that his character was gay), this is one movie that you can't afford to miss.
