Mrs. Doubtfire is a golden oldie starring Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire. This movie is chalked full irony that in turn creates comedy. Robin Williams is a fun father who has been pushing his luck for years. Finally his wife cracks and they get divorced, this means he only has a limited time every week to see his children. So he dresses up as a British Nanny that his wife in turn hires to look after the children. As you can imagine his daily routine is significantly altered. The constant problems that he faces as a crossing dressing Nanny are what spur many funny and ironic scenes. A couple of the parts that I always laugh at no matter how often I watch it are his initial make over, his famous line I have to piss like a racehorse and when he gets stuck between character during an inspection at his house and again a restaurant. However, the best part of the movie for me is how realistic the transformation form man to old women is. Robin Williams has the impersonation of an old woman down pat. Between the voice look and demeanour, Robin William’s would fit perfectly into any retirement home.
I posted a couple of my favourite parts from this movie so be sure to watch and enjoy them.

Hands down a great classic! When I was younger this would be one of the few movies I'd always want to see with my dad and brother. And totally agreed, Robin Williams did an amazing job playing that character.
