About this movie

Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) is a struggling father who loses his job as a voice actor for cartoons. When he throws a disastrous surprise birthday party for his son, Chris, everything takes a turn for the worse. Daniel's wife, Miranda (Sally Field), has had it with Daniel and wants a divorce. When the divorce hearings arrive, Daniel is denied custody of the children, but is allowed visitations... but seeing his children once a week isn't enough. Daniel, with the help of his friend, theatrical make-up artist Frank (Harvey Fierstein), disguises himself as "Mrs. Doubtfire," a woman of mature years, a sharp tongue, and an endearing way with the children. In the guise of "Mrs. Doubtfire", Daniel charms his way back into the lives of his unsuspecting family. But his act is too good, and complications arise... and if his act is discovered, he may be separated from his family permanently.

fenomenal,es parte de mi pasado soy jubilado y con un divorcio en mis espaldas nacido en sudamerica LIMA PERU Mis recuerdos son una neblina y frio,dolor y amargura. Mrs Doubtfire,vive la vida de un padre marginado, por la indiferencia de un representante juridico de la familia,da razon a la sra. madre y esposa separada de Mrs Doubtfire. Juez y madre de los niños,son tempanos de hielo ante el vacio y dolor de un padre,que pide una oportunidad para visitar a sus niños, Es una realidad este video ,fuerte,ejemplar...la casa del jabonero.

The movie shows comedy, sad, happy, heart breaking, love,inspiration,devotion and whatever it takes to be there for and with your children. And the extra mile he pushed to be with his kids no matter the cost. He tried to keep his family together and their lives became a roller coaster.Had a great ending. That both parents came to their senses to still be supportive for the other parents differences and choices. I loved it. Watched it growing up. I would greatly recommend for 0 -110yrs old to watch.
