Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The dress, the mask and Mrs. Doubtfire's gentility are inherently limiting, but nothing holds Mr. Williams back when he's on a roll.
Fresh: Although overly sappy in places and probably 20 minutes too long, this Robin Williams-in-drag vehicle provides the comic a slick surface for doing his shtick, within a story possessing broad family appeal.
Fresh: I've rarely laughed so much at a movie I generally disliked.
Rotten: The film is not as amusing as the premise, and there were long stretches when I'd had quite enough of Mrs. Doubtfire.

RIP
Gave so much joy to everyone but couldn't overcome his own demons and ultimately find inner joy for himself. My favorite movie from him. May he finally find peace in death that he couldn't find in life.
RIP Robin William
