I love this movie, it still gives me a hearty laugh and I’ve seen it like 50 times

Try calling an actual Scottish person British...

Boy, did I learn THAT one the hard way!

Hey look, Tootsie and Mrs Doubtfire in the same movie! Never made that connection before.

... "I have been here all along, as your maid!" ... creepy much?
8gigsofshark
This movie creeped the hell out of my mom when I was a kid. Much to her sorrow, I loved it.

People didn't recognize Henry Cavill in glasses standing under a HUGE FUCKING SIGN for Superman for hours on end.

Just watched this movie for the first time last week. What a romp.

Mrs. Doubtfire was SCOTTISH

I mean...how long did Marie Shriver look at the Maid’s Son and think “He looks familiar, but I’m not sure.”

She's a Kennedy, she probably is accustomed to husbands sleeping about

It always bugged me that he was a pro voice actor, and she had NEVER heard him do that voice during their entire marriage.
yourbassist
Are you saying that she was not throwing away her shot?
JadeNB1729
I think she just had one shot, one opportunity, to seize everything she ever wanted, in one moment.

Ghost0fDawn
didn't RW also do something like go to a convenience store in-character to see if the costume would hold up outside the film setting?
BigTittyGothKitty
Knowing him, he would have 100% done that.
cheeree42
I thought that was the guy who played Tootsie.

Dustin Hoffman
nodekio
He went into a friend sex toy store I think
becauseurwrong
I used to be so mad at her as a child for the heartless "won't let you see your kids" ex-wife char that's overused in 90's movies. wtf
fractalsphere
This was the only movie I got to see as a pre-screener test audience. Was very excited when I could talk about it. ;-)
alisa2089
He also had on prosthetics and was a voice actor, which really helps the disguise. ;)
GregHitchcock
True her husband may have been a bad husband but he was an absolutely wonderful father,
8gigsofshark
Eh, he was a fun dad, but kids need more than fun. He made her be the one to do all the discipline and hard work
Inarticulated
I haven't watched a single Robin Williams movie since he passed..
sordatos
She never suspected anything at all though. TBF nobody else noticed until he, for some reason pees with closing the door
sordatos
Which reveals the kids to be kinda transfobic (yes, different times)
jepplax
i think cause he lived in that house before probably went into autopilot (not vigilant) mode when he forgot to close the door.
sordatos
Huh, that sounds plausible
IWouldDoThings
So...in a way...that movie saved my marriage. Many years ago my husband and I separated and during that time he rewatched Mrs.D for a laugh-
IWouldDoThings
- instead he ended up sobbing and rethinking everything that he wanted. We've been together ever since, good or bad. He brings it up-
IWouldDoThings
- everytime it's on or referenced. Thanks so much, Mrs. Doubtfire!!!! :)
LordNucifer
This sounds like an amazing story! What happened, if you don't mind me asking?
Geekyre
Well, her hubbie and herself weren't in a good spot, but after watching ms.doubtfire, the hubbie rethunk allotta shit, and now they goochie.
IWouldDoThings
Like what happened for us to separate? We just weren't on the same page. I was ready to 'grow up' and he felt controlled by obligations-
IWouldDoThings
- we fought a lot and our daughter and I went to live w my mom and he got his own apartment. But we were always together. Even when we had -
Jantessa

GregHitchcock
She put her hatred of her husband ahead of the love of her kids, and that's why she was a terrible mother
LeCalabrone
She was a wonderful mother. She was terrified that her children's practical needs weren't going to be met in her absence. Seeing your kids'
LeCalabrone
needs (by which I mean the practical minutiae of their daily lives, their nutrition, hygiene, emotional support, routine, steadiness)
LeCalabrone
ignored oe neglected is utterly heartbreaking. I absolutely think she did the right thing.
LeCalabrone
As fun as he was, however much he loved his kids, children cannot thrive in chaos. It sets them back, does them a disservice. They need to
LeCalabrone
feel safe, taken care of, and the domestic and emotional loads of that task was utterly beyond him. He needed to learn to be better.
MrsBlancheDevereaux
I used to think she was crazy to divorce him. Now I’m an adult and I’m on her side 100%.
noonehasthisoneyet
they were terrible together. He was a big kid. The only thing they have in common was loving their kids. Was a gutcheck to take them away
sordatos
Yeah, and the movie, while softer than the book (so I have read) at least does make that point
WonderfunkJones
I mean... He brought home a zoo.
y0usurname
Well... he was on everything except Rollerblades back then.
lemmonjello
I watched it recently and was like "first off wtf is with that house, secondly RW character is out of control"
StevieTheAussie
I was much the same when I was a kid. I thought she was the asshole all the way through the movie, even after it ended. Now that I’m 1/2
StevieTheAussie
older, I understand what was going on and I feel she was entirely justified in her actions. But I don’t think I was ever not on both sides.
redamancy
Watched this with my 7 yo recently. Husband and I were hit hard with how differently the movie lands as an adult. Oi.
lemmonjello
Oh yeah as a kid he is like super dad as an adult its like wtf why is there a pony on the house
balsamicninja
He was a good dad, but a terrible husband. I loved the resolution as everyone eased into their new normal and we're happy
suckmycohones
Grats on a positive comment! I was thinking how his movies always seemed to present pretty realistic life issues, got to apreciate it more
suckmycohones
as I'm advancing through adulthood 2/2
TheMythologicalMan
I forget what happens in the film why is he a bad husband ?
MrsBlancheDevereaux
He never disciplined the kids. Her job to be the bad guy. He trashed their house for kids bday before she even came home.
DesperateDunn365
He quit his job among many other stupid decisions.
Okebel
No stable job, made a huge party that wrecked the house, he's a big man-child with no sense of responsability.
voidmain
And because he is the cool dad, she has to take the role of the Villain for the kid to get a grip on reality.
filben7
He was a jobless psycho.
MrsBlancheDevereaux
Yep and I doubt he did any cleaning or cooking while she worked and he was home
mcfuckstick
exactly why she didn't think her nanny was really her ex because he never did that much effort when they were together
StevieTheAussie
I’d say he was a child, not a psycho. He was married to a woman who made plenty of money and he was ignorant to the pressure it was 1/2
StevieTheAussie
putting on her. He didn’t really have much idea of the value of money. The real value, the toll it was taking on his wife and the time 2/
StevieTheAussie
it was taking from her. He’d essentially been permitted to quit a job without worrying about money. But once he was put in a position 3/
StevieTheAussie
that left him on his own, where it was work or be without what was most important to him, he grew up and stepped up, even working a job 4/
Devolv3
Wasnt he a voice actor?
Counterfit
Yeah, he definitely had a job
8gigsofshark
He got fired in like the opening scene
voidmain
Except he didn’t wanted to do what is superior told him to and got fired
StevieTheAussie
Yeah, but when he was troubled that the cartoon he was doing voiceovers for was marketing cigarette smoking to kids, he refused to keep 1/2
StevieTheAussie
working on the cartoon. He refused to work on something that would harm kids.

The only thing you could say is couples counselling, etc, but yeah she was totally in the right. Her only fault was not letting him have>
iamthisguy247
LordOfZajo
She was a spiteful bitch for not allowing him visitation. It was her twisting the knife. She was not a good person or a good mother either.
Bhargo
even as a kid I thought she was a bad mom, cruel to the dad just to be cruel and put her own happiness over her entire family
fattpuss
The couples counciling industry in the US must be huge. The advice is always “counciling”. In other countries we hate eachother without help
TiredSnowball
I can work if both parties are on board and they consult a psychologist that can give more tools to work together.
Phlynch
When you made kids with somebody, you have an obligation to try to make things work with that somebody, so those kids can have parents.
CommunCreator
* counseling. ‘Counciling’ sounds like taking something before a municipal planning board.
TiredSnowball
It's just it's usually "hush hush" in many countries, while being a lot more open in US/Canada and some other countries.
Durtschi
Oddly enough, often the couples I work with like each other more after counseling.
Dondarian
I love my wife more after counseling. She sees shit from my perspective now.
RealRaceRiotsAreAboutGettingBlueshelledInMarioKart
I mean, I'm just waiting for my wife to figure out how smothering actually works. She thinks it's 30 seconds and done.
OdeToBouncer
About 50 seconds to unconsciousness, and then you gotta ride the pillow for another three. ...a friend told me this.
FreeSpankings
Huh, she does it way longer for me.

He deliberately put that food Pierce Brosnan's character was allergic to in his food.
QuackWok
It was just spice I think...a lot of it. He was very adamant about the dish having no spice
Dapperworth
That would have been a very different ending if he's died of anaphylaxis
