A talented but slightly eccentric voice actor, Daniel Hillard has a rising career, but makes up for it by surrounding his three children with all his love. Angered by his childish behavior, which she considers irresponsible, his wife Miranda decides to divorce him and take custody.

Desperate to never see his two daughters and son again, Daniel decides to try everything. With the help of her prosthetist brother, using her acting skills, she switches personalities and becomes… Iphigenia Doubtfire, an English governess whom Miranda hires to look after the children.

Robin Williams is funnier than ever

If you grew up in the ’90s, there’s a good chance that Robin Williams helped you take your first steps as an audience member. Be it Hook, Jumanji or Flabber, this iconic actor who is missed by all of us has always managed to use his talent, humor and his sensibility to serve the younger generation.

Funnier than ever in Mrs. Doubtfire — a film that seems to have been tailored for her comedic superpowers — she lets all of her creativity flow in laugh-out-loud sequences that seem to explode just like us.

Unforgettable scenes

We can especially cite the introduction of the film, where Daniel Hillard combines the voices of his animated characters, the scene in the classified advertisement where he tries several different profiles before choosing Madame Doubtfire, or even the one where there is a surprise visit. from the inspector while she is still dressed as a governess.

In short, Madame Doubtfire is a real amusement park on film for its performer, who gives everything to the great pleasure of the audience. Directed by Chris Columbus, whose talent for directing films aimed at a younger audience (Mother, I Missed the Plane or Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is also there), the film also stars Sally Field (who plays Miranda) and Pierce. Brosnan (who plays the latter’s new fiance).

Hilarious, sure, but also tender and charming, this timeless ’90s treat available on Disney+ should offer a nice burst of nostalgia if you grew up with it, and a great surprise if you’ve never seen it before.
