Mrs. Doubtfire

Laughs (#67)

It's got its funny moments, and its touching ones, too. But honestly, I think the concept of this movie is more sad than funny. Why can't a 40 year old act his age and be a father to his children? Why can't a couple love their children enough and take their vows seriously enough to work things out? Why do kids in broken homes always get stuck in the middle? But this is typical of far too many families.

So Robin Williams comes up with an atypical solution. And if you get past all the cross-dressing innuendos, it is indeed funny. And Mara Wilson is still her adorable little self.
