I knew "Mrs. Doubtfire" before, but this is just overall definitely a better movie that works both in terms of acting and storytelling. It's not pathetic or unnecessarily emotional, it's just the way you would wish for it to be. Well-balanced in every aspect, incredibly funny from start to finish. The more dramatic moments definitely don't ruin the impression.

The Hoffman transformation is great, of course, and interesting, but otherwise I'm afraid it's just a relaxing film set in the fictional General Hospital. A soap opera where it's all soap opera all the time.
