Movie Review: Mrs. Doubtfire

I watched Mrs. Doubtfire at library. This movie was shown in 1993 in the United States and it was shown in 1994 in Japan. This is story of love of family. I like this movie because my heart was made warm. It was directed by Chris Columbus. The main characters are Daniel Hillard and Mrs. Doubtfire (Robin Williams), Miranda (Sally Field), Lydia (Lisa Jakub), Christopher (Matthew Lawrene) and Natalie (Mara Wilson). Daniel is father and Miranda is mother of three children, Lydia, Christopher and Natalie. Daniel worked as dabber but he quitted it because the ideas were different from the ideas of company. Miranda works very hard at company and house. Their children are students and they love their parents. Daniel held a birthday party of Chris. He called a mobile zoo and prepared a lot of confectionery. They could enjoy and they spent special time. Miranda found it and got angry very much. They fought and she decided to divorce her husband, Daniel. He didn’t want to divorce and he didn’t want to live away from their children but Miranda’s decision didn’t change. Daniel could not win the suit and he could not see his children only once a week. He had to live by himself but he was dying to see children. After a few days he knew that Mira was raising a housekeeper. Daniel could work as a housekeeper by using the knack of acting with his voice and by disguising as an old woman. Everyone didn’t notice that an old woman, Mrs. Doubtfire was Daniel. One day Chris saw Mrs. Doubtfire in the bathroom and Lydia and Chris noticed that a woman was their father but they didn’t tell the truth to anybody. Miranda, Mrs. Doubtfire and children went to many place and they smile all the time. Finally everyone knew that Mrs. Doubtfire was Daniel. They were very surprised and Miranda was very angry. Daniel was treated as a perversion and he couldn’t see his children only them. He was watched when he see children. He and his children were very sad. One day Miranda and children watched a TV program of Mrs. Doubtfire and Daniel acted her. This TV program very popular and it was very interesting. Miranda felt that her children need father and she visited Daniel. She asked him to look after their children every afternoon. He was very happy and their children were very happy too. I like this movie because I like comedy movie very much. I could enjoy watching and I couldn’t help laughing. I heard the divorce is increasing in the United States and Japan too. I think it is not good for children because children need parents and love of them. I want to see this movie again.
