Mrs. Doubtfire is one of those films I used to watch quite often on television growing up. I always enjoyed it as a kid.
I'm 22 now, and watched this film again recently, and my feelings have changed slightly. It could be that I've seen a few Robin Williams movies, and he seems to repeat himself a bit too much, maybe not.
The main problem I have with the film, is it doesn't really fit well into any category in terms of suitable age viewing. I said I watched this on TV quite a bit, where 1.) It was edited and 2.) my mother was never happy about.
The movie is a great family film in a lot of ways. There are plenty of things kids would find pretty funny, has some good messages, etc. However, there's also a lot that really shouldn't be in a kid's movie. Language, sex jokes, etc. none of which are very subtle.
If you've ever seen The Cat in the Hat film with Mike Myers, you know what I'm talking about. It's got some stuff that shouldn't have been in there. So Mrs. Doubfire falls in kind of an area that suits really 13 year olds, and that's it. It could have been a better film if they'd worked on that a bit.
