Mrs. Doubtfire

Mrs. Doubtfire

Robin Williams plays the heartbroken Daniel Hilliard who at the same time loses his job and his  beloved family, as his wife Miranda, played by Sally Fields files for a divorce.

.

She gets full custody of their three children Lydia, Chris and Natalie, and doesn’t want Daniel to see them more than once a week, as she sees him as a poor diciplinarian and not a good role model.

.

He is determined to find a way to spend more time with the kids, and when he finds out that Miranda is looking for a housekeeper, he disguises as the Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire, with the help of his makeup artist brother Frank, and gets hired.

.

As Mrs. Doubtfire, Daniel is able to be with his kids every day, and secretly be the firm father figure he never was before, by letting the kids do daily chores and homework, but still finding time to take part in their favorite activities.

.

When Miranda introduces her new boyfriend Stuart Dunmeyer (Pierce Brosnan) to the family, Daniel tries everything he can to push him away.

.

In the end, his cover is blown when his son Chris catches him urinating like a man, and in short, all hell breaks loose. They end up in family court, where Daniel’s visitation rights are further restricted.

.

Later Miranda realizes that the children need their father as much as they need him, and they establish a joint custody, with a happy ending for all of them.
