Movie Review-2 Mrs. Doubtfire

This is a really funny comedy movie. I think it tells us how precious our families are.


The main characters are Daniel Hillard, Miranda, and three children.
Daniel Hillard is Miranda’s husband and three children’s dad. He was a voice actor, but he was fired. He is not good at working, but really good at taking care of his children. He spends more than he earns. He loves his children and stays with them all day.
Miranda is Daniel’s wife. She is an interior decorator, and really good at working. She earns money for her family. When she gets home after working, the house is always messy because of Daniel and the children. Miranda was getting tired of cleaning.
Miranda and Daniel’s children’s names are Lydia, Chris, and Natalie. They like their mom, but they love their dad more than their mom.


One day, Miranda gets a phone call from police, and goes back to her home to see what is happening. There are many animals inside and outside of the house. The music is really loud and of course the room was so messy. Daniel was having a birthday party for his son, Chris. Then Miranda had to clean the house again. Daniel always messes the house, and Miranda always cleans it up. Miranda can’t stand Daniel any more. So they got divorced and children stayed with Miranda because Daniel doesn’t have any job. Daniel can’t stay with his children, so he was so sad. However Daniel got an idea to spend more time with the children. He knew that Miranda is looking for a nice person who can take care of the children while she was at work, so Daniel introduced himself as Mrs. Doubtfire and pretended to be a really nice old woman. No one recognizes Daniel, and they like Mrs. Doubtfire.
Everything seemed to be okay somehow, but there were still some problems around him…


It was not only a funny story, but also good to think about family. When Daniel and his children are separated, they seemed very sad. I can’t imagine what it is like to be separated from my family, either. When people marry, they love each other so much, but it is difficult to keep that feeling. These days, many people get divorced. I know that sometimes it makes things better, but it not really nice for their children. However I was kind of glad that even thoughthey got divorced, Daniel still loves his children a lot and tries to do many things for them.
Do you remember the first day Mrs. Doubtfire comes to take care of the children? The children don’t like Mrs. Doubtfire, yet. When they go to upstairs to do their homework, they say, “If dad were here…” or something, and Mrs. Doubtfire says, “I’m here,” with a little voice. It was my favorite scene. I really felt his devotion to his children. (488 words)
