    • Trivia
      According to one biography, Robin Williams decided to test out the believability of his Mrs. Doubtfire character during filming by going as Mrs. Doubtfire into an adult bookstore and making a purchase. He was able to do so without being recognized.
    • Goofs
      PIerce Brosnan's stunt double can be seen when he jumps off the diving board at the pool area.
    • Quotes

      Mrs. Doubtfire: Oh... as I hold this cold meat, I'm reminded of Winston. God rest his soul.

      Miranda: When did he pass on?

      Mrs. Doubtfire: Eight years ago, dear, this November.

      Miranda: What happened?

      Mrs. Doubtfire: He was quite fond of the drink. It was the drink that killed him.

      Miranda: How awful. He was an alcoholic?

      Mrs. Doubtfire: No, he was hit by a Guinness truck. So it was quite literally the drink that killed him.

    • Alternate versions
      The Australian DVD was made using the cut UK version, meaning it has 13 seconds of dialogue cut despite no previous censorship problems. VHS, theatrical and television versions are all intact.

    A eccentric life!!

    Many people say that gMrs. Doubtfireh is one of the funniest movies. I agree with the above idea. First, one of the funniest scene for me is when Mrs. Sellner comes to Danielfs apartment and he transforms between himself and Mrs. Doubtfire so quickly. This busy scene brings constant laughing to us. The second funniest scene for me is when Mrs. Doubtfire cooks the dinner for the first time and she burns her clothes. The scene not only funny but also thrilling and my heart fluttered with worry, too.

    I know that some people claim that the storyline is too unrealistic, but I think there are few fathers who love their children as deeply as Daniel.

    This movie is not only funny but also impressive. I rate this movie at 8/10.
