Much of it feels synthetic and crude, more the result of engineering than inspiration. The [filmmakers] put a commercial glaze on everything, as if a future 온라인카지노추천 series were taking over the movie even as it was unreeling in the projector.

This comedy's warm and soothing nature will give mainstream audiences in these dysfunctional-family times a perfect holiday uplift.

| Original Score: B | Sep 7, 2011

Although overly sappy in places and probably 20 minutes too long, this Robin Williams-in-drag vehicle provides the comic a slick surface for doing his shtick, within a story possessing broad family appeal.

Full Review | Jul 22, 2008

I've rarely laughed so much at a movie I generally disliked.

| Apr 7, 2008

Sit-com stuff, then, with laboured farcical interludes, and a mushy post-feminist sensibility. Funny notwithstanding.

| Feb 9, 2006

The dress, the mask and Mrs. Doubtfire's gentility are inherently limiting, but nothing holds Mr. Williams back when he's on a roll.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 20, 2003

Williams has to break out of a second-rate "Tootsie" imitation, ankles clamped in pathos and face covered in latex. He pulls it off in the end, but it's not pretty.

| Jan 1, 2000

You will laugh till your ribs ache -- not because director Chris Columbus of the "Home Alone" movies has a gift for farce, which he does, but because Williams is to funny what the Energizer Bunny is to batteries. He keeps going and going and going.

Raw, uncoated stupidity that sticks in your throat.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 1, 2000

The film is not as amusing as the premise, and there were long stretches when I'd had quite enough of Mrs. Doubtfire.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000
