From Amazon.co.uk

This huge 1993 hit for Robin Williams and director Chris Columbus (Home Alone), based on a novel called Alias Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine, stars Williams as a loving but flaky father estranged from his frustrated wife (Sally Field). Devastated by a court order limiting his time with the children, Williams's character disguises himself as a warm, old British nanny who becomes the kids' best friend. As with Dustin Hoffman's performance in Tootsie, Williams's drag act--buried under layers of latex and padding--is the show, and everything and everyone else on screen serves his sometimes frantic role. Since that's the case, it's fortunate that Williams is Williams, and his performance is terribly funny at times and exceptionally believable in those scenes where his character misses his children. Playing Williams's brother, a professional makeup artist, Harvey Fierstein has a good support role in a bright sequence where he tries a number of feminine looks on Williams before settling on Mrs Doubtfire's visage. --Tom Keogh

Product Description

Robin Williams stars as difficult actor and husband, Daniel Hillard, who separates acrimoniously from his wife (Sally Field) and receives a court order limiting his visits to his children. As a result he dresses up as a Scottish nanny and gets gainful employment with his ex-wife looking after his own kids! Directed by Chris Columbus ('Home Alone').

5.0 out of 5 stars Williams best film by far 6 July 2004
Format:DVD
One of thoese rare films that you can watch again and again. Robin Williams plays his best role ever as a divorce Father who with the help of his make up artist brother answers an advert ( placed by his ex wife) as a housekeeper dressed as a middle aged woman- Mrs Doubtfire.
The film has to be watched again and again not so much for the film contents but it has excllent one liners that you could miss easily. The casting is by far one of the best and yet it should be up there with planes trains and automobiles as a all time classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the One I Wanted 16 Jun 2009
Format:DVD
This was just the dvd that I wanted. I was already familiar with the contents since I have the Region 1 dvd but even though I can play that one on my DVD player, I still see that it's from the USA as sometimes the camera image 'trembles'.
This one is perfect for me - Amazon: thank you for selling this dvd!

4.0 out of 5 stars Figaro! 19 May 2009
Format:DVD
Robin Williams puts all of his quick wit into Daniel Hillard and Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire and gives us something to laugh about every time either of them is on screen. From Daniel's dinosaur rap to Mrs. Doubtfire attempting to cook a proper dinner without thinking about the two safety hazards in front of him. The hilarity of the situation really kicks in when both Daniel and Mrs. Doubtfire must appear at a restaurant simultaneously.

Though I enjoyed this film as a child, it definitely has to be seen as an adult. Many of the jokes can only be understood and therefore fully appreciated in the latter part of life. Perhaps it's not a fresh story but the way Chris Columbus has turned this into a fast paced comedy is incredible, it also has a damn good soundtrack. Who doesn't enjoy "Dude Looks Like a Lady" and picture Williams dancing with the vacuum cleaner and broom, lets be honest we've all done it...well we would if we cleaned.

Performances across the board are wonderful, with Sally Field as the ferocious Miranda Hillard; Pierce Brosnan as the suave Stuart Dunmeyer, something that seems to come naturally to any roll he plays; Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence and Mara Wilson come off brilliantly as the innocent kids Lydia Hillard, Christopher Hillard and the sweet little Natalie Hillard. Another performance that can't go unnoticed is the wonderful Harvey Fierstein in the very comfortable role of Daniel's gay brother Frank Hillard. He of course happens to be a makeup artist and is more then content to turn his brother into a woman.

Though Brosnan's character is not developed enough for us to fully appreciate him he has a clear role as a punch bag for Daniel's hidden meaning jokes as Mrs. Doubtfire.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful family film! 10 Dec 2012
Format:DVD
Of course, kids whose families are going through divorce might find this painful in some parts. But some kids may find the movie helpful because it lessens feelings of being alone or unique. Parents need to know that as funny as this movie is, it's really about the pain of separation and divorce. Serious issues such as the perception that Daniel is a bad father because he doesn't make a lot of money, and the implied criticism of careerist mother, Miranda, are buried under a lot of padding and jokes and voice impersonations.
This movie is so different from other movies regarding divorce in the manner in which it deals with real human problems. Though it provides a basis for a comedy, the issue of divorce and custody is treated seriously. Irresponsible Daniel grows from the experience of looking at the world from a woman's point of view. Recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars No doubts about Mrs Doubtfire 7 Feb 2011
By zuzu
Format:DVD
Family fun and some adult humour, which isn't obvious for kids,plus the excellent Robin Williams in drag makes this a must-see. Some quite moving scenes prevent slushy, maukish sentiments taking over and spoiling the viewing. Pierce Brosnan is very good as a sleazy former boyfriend of Sally Field, attempting to inveigle his way into the vulnerable family unit.
