    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      According to one biography, Robin Williams decided to test out the believability of his Mrs. Doubtfire character during filming by going as Mrs. Doubtfire into an adult bookstore and making a purchase. He was able to do so without being recognized.
    • Goofs
      PIerce Brosnan's stunt double can be seen when he jumps off the diving board at the pool area.
    • Quotes
      • Mrs. Doubtfire: Oh... as I hold this cold meat, I'm reminded of Winston. God rest his soul.
      • Miranda: When did he pass on?
      • Mrs. Doubtfire: Eight years ago, dear, this November.
      • Miranda: What happened?
      • Mrs. Doubtfire: He was quite fond of the drink. It was the drink that killed him.
      • Miranda: How awful. He was an alcoholic?
      • Mrs. Doubtfire: No, he was hit by a Guinness truck. So it was quite literally the drink that killed him.
    • Alternate versions
      The Australian DVD was made using the cut UK version, meaning it has 13 seconds of dialogue cut despite no previous censorship problems. VHS, theatrical and television versions are all intact.
