Mrs. Doubtfire is a weird movie

So I got to choose a movie to watch with the kids (9, 13 and 15) and decided to show them a childhood classic. Mrs. Doubtfire.

That movie was a hell of a lot weirder then I remember.

I remember Pierce Brosnan being the bad guy but honestly the guy didn’t do anything wrong and is mostly the victim of Robin Williams.

And the part in the restaurant with Robin Williams telling him he has to compete with a vibrator which pounds like a jackhammer. WHAT KIND OF KIDS MOVIE IS THIS!? 😂

I mean the kids liked the movie so mission accomplished but damn the 90’s were something else.

It's a pretty tame movie.

Beetlejuice is a lot weirder .

Michael Keaton tells a funny story about that. He adlibbed the line when the set broke and was like "eh the censors will just cut it out later" and when he was it at the premier he couldn't believe that take survived.
