Mrs. Doubtfire is a film I watched several times as a child. It was one of those movies dad enjoys to watch with his kids so he just put it on countless times. As a kid this movie never got old. Yesterday upon watching Mrs. Doubtfire again, I can safely say I can still enjoy this film past childhood. Robin William steals the show and the dynamic of him dressed as a 60 year old women with a British accent is actually executed rather well and it is super funny too. This film has heart, the story told is unorthodox but it's truly touching when you think about it. Although this film is funny and really enjoyable, it doesn't quite hit the mark everywhere. Mrs. Doubtfire has heart but it doesn't have compelling enough supporting performances that make you cry, it doesn't have dialogue that twists your stomach over the drama and emotion, it's just a light-hearted, crazy spin on a serious situation. The movie also has it's cliches and convenient moments that are also seemingly present in kids movies that often take me out of the film. All in all, Mrs. Doubfire is enjoyable, it's funny and it does carry heart. I would recommend this movie.
