Mrs Doubtfire (1993 Chris Columbus)

Written by Randi Mayem Singer, Anne Fine and Leslie (Overboard) Dixon, film doesn't make much sense (surely the Sally Field character would have welcomed the husband to look after the kids), the outfit swapping is exhausting and the kids fairly odious (particularly the little one). Robin Williams is his usual bundle of nervous energy, improvising and soulful looks, Field good.

With Harvey Fierstein (make-up brother), Pierce Brosnan (pre-Bond), Robert Prosky (TV channel owner - though I felt Williams' attempt to spruce up kids' educational show worked better with him as him not Mrs. F.), Lisa Jakub.

"It was a run-by fruiting."
