Robin Williams, in one of his best roles, proves that he is rightfully one of the best comedians. The thoughtful yet funny script, along with Williams, make this feel-good comedy a classic.

Mrs. Doubtfire is a timeless classic among family comedies, which is above all an acting masterclass by Robin Williams, who here proves that he is a multifaceted actor and comedian with a capital C. The flaming breasts, the dance with the vacuum cleaner, the visit to the swimming pool and the evening at the restaurant, these and other scenes will always make me laugh. In addition to this, I must also praise the work of the make-up artists, who quite rightly took home the Oscar statuette. Overall, this is an incredibly easygoing film with an original theme, a great cast and more than one memorable scene, which, among other things, shows how important and irreplaceable family is.

Chris Columbus simply has a gift for beautiful, unforgettable family movies that you will enjoy returning to. "Mrs. Doubtfire" is one of them. Robin Williams shows his strong side here, which is voice acting. The original version truly excels in this aspect. Otherwise, it is a light joy that is not spoiled even by moralizing, because when it comes to family, it is always quite powerful.
