      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      On paper, Mrs. Doubtfire might seem excessively broad or sentimental, but Robin Williams shines so brightly in the title role that the end result is difficult to resist.

      David Denby New York Magazine/Vulture Much of it feels synthetic and crude, more the result of engineering than inspiration. The [filmmakers] put a commercial glaze on everything, as if a future TV series were taking over the movie even as it was unreeling in the projector. Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Bill Cosford Miami Herald You can't take Mrs. Doubtfire seriously for a moment, its daddy-track sympathies notwithstanding, and you'll know exactly where it's going at every turn. You'll laugh, though Robin Williams will not be denied, Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 18, 2021 Full Review Duane Byrge Hollywood Reporter This comedy's warm and soothing nature will give mainstream audiences in these dysfunctional-family times a perfect holiday uplift. Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins A somewhat grotesque take on Mary Poppins, this picture has an attitude and style all its own. Rated: 10/10 Sep 16, 2020 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Anybody tempted by nostalgia should stay away to preserve the illusion that this was once so well-liked. Rated: 2/10 Apr 21, 2020 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures The greater story is sacrificed for schticky gags about a guy dressing as an old woman. Rated: 3/5 Aug 17, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

      Dionisis T A living example of how Robin Williams was one of the most important cinema actors in the 90s. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review First name L Robin William's at his very best, matched by Fields charm, my family quotes this one constantly. Bittersweet, hilarious, rewarding. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Christian K The entire cast here is working together flawlessly, led of course be an incredible performance by Williams. A movie I see now and wish my family had on VHS when i was growing up. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Seth B My friend really liked this movie. I'm sure I'll watch it at some point. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Mike P Very solid drag comedy from Robin Williams and company. He and Sally Field get separated; forcing him to don drag and pretend he's a dottering Scottish Nanny so he can see his kids everyday...It's no Tootsie; but it is very fun and effective. 👍 Recommended Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Just watched this again here in 2024 and it really holds up. This and “Good Morning, Vietnam” were the two best film vehicles for Robin Williams to showcase his comedic genius. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
