Mrs Doubtfire

When the late, great Robin Williams passed away in 2014 we (like many) talked about his movie legacy and one of his movies we most wanted to share with our kids was Mrs Doubtfire.  It's a bittersweet comedy about a family broken by divorce and a dad willing to go to any lengths to be with his kids more.

As an adult the mother seems unreasonable and extreme which was an annoying but unfortunately essential movie trope, however our kid didn't pick up on that and really enjoyed the movie; especially all the cross-dressing hilarity.

There are some mature family themes here so if you think your child is not ready for these then best to wait till they are older.

Rating: It's a good one to watch once in a while and it hasn't aged too badly. It's a great introduction to the humour of Robin Williams and perhaps will be a gateway to his entire back catalog for you.

Naughty bits:  Like I said there are mature themes (sex references) and a bit of course language.

Snacks:  Takeaway from a fancy joint a la Mrs Doubtfire
