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.

I love the movie but as I've gotten older, I've found it harder to defend Daniel's actions and realised the mother had a point.
