Mrs. Doubtfire
by JE De Matteo

Solid

     In a hotty contest with Garth Algar (Dana Carvey) as the judge, I'm confident Bugs Bunny has nothing to worry about when up against Robin Williams.  Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire doesn't hold a candle to Bugs, at least that's the way I think Garth would look at it.  Although with Garth, one never knows.

     Cross-dressing aside, this is a funny movie.  Sure you've got to look past a number of valid points, but that almost always goes without saying.  The fact is that Robin Williams will make you laugh in this 1993 movie.  The on camera interviews on the DVD are really good, but I'd love to see the movie with Williams' commentary.  Wow!  That would be great.  This, after all, is today's master of improv.

     A good movie and a great DVD.

Mark's Movie Info.:

Robin Williams had experience playing older women. At a show Andy Kaufman did at Carnegie Hall, Williams played Kaufman's grandmother.

Here's an odd twist: in real life Robin Williams divorced his wife to marry his children's nanny. In this film he divorces his wife and becomes his children's nanny. Interesting.
