Mrs. Doubtfire


This establishing shot in this movie was in a half screen in the scene after Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) quits his job and celebrates his son Christopher's (Matthew Lawrence) 12th birthday. Christopher doesn't deserve a party because of his bad report card. But Daniel wanted to keep the party a secret so the kid's mother and his wife Miranda (Sally Field) would not find out and not come home angry. She did come home angry after a neighbor called her to come home and shut the party down. After the argument between Daniel and Miranda, they were divorced. I know it sounds serious but it was really funny. Daniel wanted to stay with the kids a lot and comes up with a plan to disguise himself as a woman and work at the house as a babysitter. He got the name Mrs. Doubtfire from the newspaper article that said "Police doubt fire was accidential." On the first day of his job as a babysitter as a woman, he might of been mean to the kids like making them do chores and do homework so their mother would be happy that they are studying. In a close up and a medium shot, Daniel was bad at cooking when he tried to make meat and soup but it got caught on fire and it was funny when he was on fire. Some of the days, he played soccer with Christopher, went bike riding with the kids, learned how to cook like lobster, read the book Stuart Little to Natalie (Mara Wilson), and even cleaned the house. The only person he hates is Stuart the gentlemen caller (Pierce Brosnan) because he wants to date Miranda. At the end of the movie, Miranda was so angry at Daniel because he was pretending to be a woman. Daniel got a show called "Aunt Euphegenia's house" on TV and it made the kids laugh and Miranda laugh. Also the kids got to live with Daniel now and the sad part on the TV was that Mrs. Doubtfire was talking about what was on the mail that said that somebody's parents were divorced while Miranda was tearing in a close up shot. The character Mrs. Doubtfire looked like my grandmother, and this movie made my family laugh. This movie I give it is a 100% out of a 100 because its a funny movie.
