Movie Review 4


Mrs. Doubtfire

I watched Mrs. Doubtfire at the library of KGU with Haruka. I’ve never watched it before but Haruka had said this movie has been interesting before watching. We watched it in English with English subtitle.

This movie is comedy. This movie’s main character is Daniel Hillard. He has his wife and three children. His wife’s name is Miranda Hillard. She is very busy because of her job. He has two daughters and one son. Older daughter’s name is Lydia, son’s name is Chris, and younger daughter’s name is Natalie.

He works as voice actor. He has extraordinary imitative talent. One day, his opinion discards with his director’s opinion and he quits his job. This day, he can go home early and he picks his three children up. He decides to hold his son’s birthday party. His son becomes 12 years old. He and his children invite many children and animals to their home. They enjoy eating and dancing; however, Miranda, his wife, disgusts the party because she is the main breadwinner and busy but she always has to clean house. When she comes back home, her anger explodes. She wants to divorce Daniel. He doesn’t want to but she doesn’t change her thinking. He receives her thinking and they divorce.

He starts living by himself but he wants to live with his children. Miranda also wants to live with her children. They bring them and a judge decides that their children live with Miranda and Daniel can meet them on Saturday because Daniel doesn’t have job. Daniel isn’t satisfied but he tries to find his new job. He works one company; however, he can meet his children one a week so he felts sad.

One day, he heard that Miranda looks for a housekeeper and he has one idea. He disguises himself a 60-year-old widow from England and he takes Miranda’s interview for being the housekeeper as Mrs. Doubtfire. Mrs. Doubtfire passes the interview and becomes the housekeeper. Daniel is happy because he can meet his children everyday and he tries to play Mrs. Doubtfire perfectly.

In the beginning, he mistakes but he studies how to cook or anything. He makes his children study and clean up. Miranda is delighted because Mrs. Doubtfire cooks well, cleans the house, and makes her children study. She likes Mrs. Doubtfire and wants Mrs. Doubtfire to continue to be the housekeeper. His children also attach Mrs. Doubtfire.

One day, Mrs. Doubtfire is in a toilet and Chris, Daniel’s son, opens the door of the toilet. Chris is surprised that Mr. Doubtfire is standing at the toilet. Then, Mrs. Doubtfire explains she is Daniel to two children. Lydia and Chris are surprised but they feel happy. Natalie, his younger daughter, is too young so he doesn’t tell her this fact.

Miranda meets Stuart Dunmeyer on a business and they often meet on a private. Her children also often meet him and like him. Mrs. Doubtfire doesn’t feel good but often talks about Stuart or Daniel with Miranda. They make good relationship.

Daniel continues to play Mrs. Doubtfire but he also continues to work as Daniel. He tides many documents in a warehouse. He doesn’t like well but he works earnestly. One day, he calls at a studio for recording a TV program for children but this story of the speaker of it is boring. A few days later, he goes to this studio again and he identified with the speaker of the TV program. Director Lou, the director of this program, sees Daniel’s performance and he likes it. He wants to talk with Daniel more and promises to go to a restaurant together on Friday.

When Mrs. Doubtfire works at Miranda’s house, Miranda is thinking which dress she wears at her birthday. Miranda’s birthday is soon and she will go out one restaurant with her daughter and Stuart on Friday. She wants Mrs. Doubtfire to come with them but they will go out the restaurant, which Director Lou and Daniel will go to, on Friday, when Director Lou and Daniel go to the restaurant, so they will go to the same restaurant at the same time. Mrs. Doubtfire will refuse Miranda’s invitation but doesn’t.

On Friday, Daniel is very busy because he has to meet Director Lou and has to take part in Miranda’s birthday party. He changes his wear in a toilet and he can carry out two promises but Mrs. Doubtfire sat on the chair in front of Director Lou. Director Lou is surprised at his figure and also Daniel stagger at his mistake. Before sitting this seat, Daniel plays up toward Stuart’s dish. He added red pepper a lot to Stuart’s dish. While Director Lou and Daniel whose figure is Mrs. Doubtfire talk, dishes are carried to Mirand’s table and Stuart eats his dish. He is surprised at spicy of this dish and chokes on shrimp. Daniel is surprised at this and he tries to help him. He thrusts Stuart and his mask is ripped off. Miranda and Natalie are surprised that Mrs. Doubt is Daniel.

A few days later, Miranda and Daniel are in the court and a judge decides that Daniel can’t meet children because he plays Mrs. Doubtfire. Daniel argues his opinion with tear but this decision isn’t changed. He is very sad and Miranda also looks like sad.

Miranda and her children look for new housekeeper but don’t find good housekeeper like Mrs. Doubtfire. When they look for new housekeeper, they heard Mrs. Doubtfire’s voice. Mrs. Doubtfire is in a TV. Daniel plays Mrs. Doubtfire in a TV program for children because his children can see him everyday and he wants them not to feel sad. This program’s Director is Director Lou.

Miranda thinks Daniel needs their children and their children need Daniel so she makes Daniel and their children are able to meet. They can meet after children’s school. Daniel is very happy and also their children are very happy.

Robin Williams plays Daniel Hillard and Mrs. Doubtfire, Sally Field plays Miranda Hillard, Pierce Brosnan plays Stuart Dunmeyer, Lisa Jakub plays Lydia Hillard, Matthew Lawrence plays Chris Hillard, Mara Wilson plays Naralie Hillard, and Terence McGovern plays A.D.R. Director Lou.

I think this movie is very good. This movie makes me laugh and feel sad. Recently, divorcing isn’t rare and there are children who can’t live with both parents. It is sad thing; however, if children can’t live with both parents, both parents love them. This movie tells me this thing. Daniel can’t live with his children but he loves them very much. I think he isn’t good husband for Miranda but he is very good father for his children. I can feel warm so I like this movie.
