Let me just get this out of the way – I love Mrs. Doubtfire. Ever since my grandma took me to see it 30 years ago, I’ve been somewhat obsessed with what I still consider to be one of the funniest Robin Williams movies. That being said, there are some issues with Chris Columbus’ 1993 comedy about a recently divorced father of three who finds a unique yet incredibly problematic way of spending time with his children.
I recently watched the movie with my own three children, and ever since then, I’ve been trying to come to terms with a lot of things that happen throughout its two-hour runtime, how some of the characters are portrayed, and other sticking points.
