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 recently saw the movie. It’s apparent that the movie is for kids of divorced parents. The message of the movie is that kids shouldn’t blame themselves when their parents get divorced.

I wish I took it that way instead of losing so much time thinking it was my fault.

Another Robin Williams line for you: “It’s not your fault.”
