Both parts you both pointed out are hilarious! Mine is the robber seems so confused and "what the hell" that an elderly woman has the strength of a man and suddenly changes voice tone to tell him to get lost. Hilarious!
I always thought Daniel was jealous of Stu because he was dating his ex wife but now I realized he's actually jealous of Stu able to be around his kids more than he can
I'm British too and if I actually met someone who spoke like Mrs Doubtfire I'd assume they were either a Scottish person who'd lived in England for a long time or an English person who'd lived in Scotland for a long time. It sounds kind of too soft to be full Scottish to me :)
I dunno, if he'd said Yorkshire or Sheffield or somewhere in the North of England, could that have sold it to a Londoner? (Sorry, only loosely familiar with English dialects). Another funny thing about this scene is Pierce Brosnan is Irish! ☘
As a kid, I had no clue what the convo between Daniel and Miranda was about. Desire for what? lol But that's what's great about this film: scenes for both children and adults.
Miranda wanted someone stable and responsible, Stu was both. Daniel wasn't, he walked out of his job on a whim just because the voice character he was voicing smoked in one scene, he obviously had no concern on how such a rash move would effect his part in helping provide for his family. He hired farm animals to roam all over the house with no concern for the damage they'd cause to the place, and no concern that it was actually illegal in the city limits (a real petting zoo would never actually bring animals to a house in the city because they'd be aware of that law, but nevermind).
@@alvexok5523 I wasn't confused about that part. As a kid, I didn't know that "let your sheets cool" and "desire" referred to sexual relations, so didn't find it funny when Daniel (as Doubtfire) said "never again!"
The "Well so's your tan" put down has stayed with me for 25+ years, along with "HELOOOOOO!" (cream cake face) and the "run by fruiting" moment. Some scenes are just too damn funny to forget!! :-D The world is much the poorer without Robin Williams. RIP.
@Wayne Hoxit. Because Stu is dating his ex-wife, who he still has feelings for. Also I think because Stu has a fancy job, fancy car, money and a house of his own, and Daniel knows that Miranda wants someone who is more stable then he is.
Yeah what she doesn't realize is that all these things that Stu has could disappear in a heartbeat and then Daniel could suddenly get a big break and start rolling in the dough; nothing like a huge reversal of fortune to find out who the real men from the boys are.
Women always want that but them they don't care about a good father and man who doesn't hit them isn't cruel no it's not enough they want money money money. They want material things when that shit gets you nowhere mainly working souch you don't see your kids much or have a life. But a man who beats the hell out of them and their kids but forks in the money oh yes that's what they want.
@@RaySchwarz. her character was the breadwinner and provider for all of her marriage. She wasn't someone looking for someone with just money or financial stability she already had it by herself! The biggest thing Daniel was lacking was maturity( and her biggest complaint of him!) and money would have made it worse. Thankfully his character grew.
dude watching this movie as an adult makes it soo much funnier!, it holds up well! still fun to watch , things i didnt quite get as a young kid i totally get now!
Daniel is still having trouble accepting the divorce and hoping(as Mrs. Doubtfire) he can convince Miranda that they shouldn't be apart. But as the movie goes on, Daniel realizes that it's not going to happen.
@@alvexok5523 i dont know anything about a cop show but i know he was in a show called remmington steele and that died a death after only a few episodes
@@peterburke3944 Lasted 4 Great years then to spite Brosnan they brought back a very short 5th season JUST so he couldn't be named The New James Bond after Roger Moore quit. Moore only quit because he thought he was getting too old to be with such young Bond Girls.
Mrs. Doubtfire is the BEST parent Custody MOVIE ever. 😍 Robin Williams WILL be missed for COMEDY in MOVIES. Thanks 😍for making me laugh. Rest in peace Robin Williams🛌🌱🌴🌈🌥️⭐🍻🥂
A lot of people are judging Miranda here... Whereas even as a kid I totally get her. As a girl I never want to end up being my family's breadwinner / caretaker / cook / cleaning lady full time. That sounds horrible. I totally get how she would fall out of love with Daniel. Sure on one side there is his character, humor and charm, on the other hand there is the life they lead together in which she is totally slaving it for her family. Daniel is her husband, not her bf, he's here to offer her a full package of q life together. She fell out of love with the package, and when you look at it, no shit Sherlock. Also she was probably ready to move on when she divorced him, hence Stuart so soon.
yeah. one funny aspect is how as a kid I thought Stu was a jerk. but that's just because we're seeing it from Robin Williams' perspective. but looking more objectively, Robin really was irresponsible, and Stu seems like a really decent guy. the worst thing he ever does is say Robin's character is a loser... but based on all the true things he probably heard from Miranda, that's a pretty reasonable assessment, really. even in that same convo, Stu expresses how he wants to be a good role model for the kids.
How hard is it for Daniel to just get himself a new girlfriend after Miranda divorced him? I'm sure that there is a woman out there who would like to be with a man like him.
It isn’t that easy. They were also together for 15 yrs, had 3 kids, and she wanted the divorce not him. You don’t just get over that in a few days, buddy.
If this movie was made from the perspective of Miranda, Daniel would be the bad guy. She’s a hard working woman, trying to make time between work and home. Her husband is ramp unctuous, doesn’t provide proper discipline to his children, and is not dependable both financially or domestically.
It's "The dude looks like a lady". Well, "Dude looks like a lady", but same thing, lol. On another note, I've always wondered why Stu didn't question why Mrs Doubtfire was holding the piece off his car, since "she" never mentioned to him either tearing it off, finding it on the ground by his car, etc., "she" just showed it to him and asked what it was. Stu never questioned either of those things himself.
My mom made fun of me when I was a kid for saying its "dude looks like a lady." She tried to insist that it was "do it like a lady" and that I was immature lol.
Imagine if they did a prequel to "Mrs Doubtfire" where Daniel, Miranda, and Stu meet at Berkeley college in the 60s. Miranda is this young creative activist, Daniel is a theatre major, and Stu is a spoiled rich kid from Great Britain with a fancy car and all the money in the world who only got into Berkeley because his rich parents paid for it. Daniel meets Miranda for the first time and starts to make headway with her only for snobby Stu to attempt to take her away to which she ends up getting very put off by. As a revenge tactic young Daniel dresses up as a character of some sort (as a foreshadowing to "Mrs Doubtfire") which eventually exposes Stu for the arrogant ego-maniac that he is. Daniel wins Miranda over..only as we know they don't live happily every after.
@@saagisharon8595 The character Daniel would dress up as would be a geeky foreign exchange student who pretends to be in love with Stu which he would be put off by but whom Miranda would take a liking to. In the end when she finds out it’s Daniel she sees that he only did it because he truly cared for her and didn’t want to see her get hurt.
The thing is after he chokes on the shrimp the whole Daniel reveal, how come we never see stu after that!?? I’m assuming that him and Miranda were still together!?
I actually always thought the opposite, that Stu probably said peace, I’m out. Especially after she let her ex have visitation rights with his children again. I didn’t really see Stu as an amazing person, who would actually stick around with a difficult situation. He seemed more like someone who wanted a perfect life.
@@equusamans Exactly. It would take a pretty amazing person to want to deal with that situation. Not impossible, but it’d be a tough pill to swallow for anyone. Honestly, as an adult looking back at this movie I start to feel more sympathetic for the wife/mother. I mean she was wrong too, but her situation isn’t great either. But, maybe things would get better for them all once their kids grow up and are adults. Then there would probably be less fighting since they wouldn’t have to contact each other anymore to see their kids.
@@equusamans I never saw stu as that I always saw him as a player like he will get what he wants an use the kids as likeable then when he gets bored leave. Like he will never be satisfied
Pouring one out for all those perfectly good potential stepdads in 90s movies whose only crime was not being as interesting as the wacky divorced dad who inevitably got them tangled up in their hi-jinks and schemes.
One big happy family lots kids. It’s truth, once father die never feel again. Why because my son father marry someone. Why out of pictures of everything. My son was gift my life name after my favorite artist. Mr. Doubt Fire was tell truth. Just moved on. Why never saw again once his girlfriend him got married. Try steal my child. So glad son grow up now. Got bad car accident years ago. I was too busy working. My sister only know it.
One thing I love about Stu is that he's the guy you love to hate, yet he never does anything particularly bad or wrong. Purely because you're rooting for Daniel. A lesser film would have made him the typical "rival boyfriend" character who cheats on his partner and/or guilty of an unrelated crime just to hammer in how bad he is.
Because he was taking the place in the family that Daniel wanted to remain in, and had been in for many years. Remember, Miranda wanted the divorce more than Daniel did. Also, Stu was everything Daniel wasn't, responsible, stable, successful in business, he didn't walk out of jobs on a whim over stupid things like a cartoon character smoking, and he didn't bring farm animals into the house with no regard to the damage they'd do to the place, the furniture, etc.
@@alvexok5523 that too. But also he is granted full access to spend time with the kids than Daniel does since he can only see them on Saturdays only. That grew the jealousy more
@@alvexok5523 Plus, she’s kind of moving on fast for a woman who just got a divorce. Like Mrs D says, she should wait until she’s used to being divorced first.
Funniest thing about this scene is even though Robin Williams felt jealous of Stu moving in on his family he had the decency of returning his car piece. Almost like he warmed up to him. You can tell and especially the end scene he was only concerned with seeing his children and realized Stu wasn’t the issue.
He wasn’t returning it as a kind gesture. He was rubbing it in his face it was damaged. Between the snarky remarks at the pool and the restaurant, hitting him with the lime, and the cayenne pepper, it’s obvious he never warmed up to Stu.
I never realized how goddamn creepy this movie really is until watching this clip. Psycho damages his car, watches from windows and tells his ex to live a life of celibacy. No wonder the mother was granted custody of the kids. The father is a nut job.
So if it was you, you'd just let the guy take your spot? And he's not a nut job. He's just seeing how Stu's apparently going to take his spot. You can't fault a guy for wanting to be the only male parent to his kids.
@@ughmazing8073 you saw how crushed he was when the judge twisted him up as a nut job. He knew that he was technically doing wrong, but it was just to provide good. How about YOU grow a pair and ACCEPT THE FACT that the goal was to get the kids in line, get and keep the house clean, and get back on good terms with his family. And once all that was done, he would forget about Mrs. Doubtfire and be the husband and father that he should've been. And also, I guess you WOULD let the guy just come in and take your spot. Pretty much having you end up being #2.
Windows are clear for a reason, people are free to watch whatever they want, it's the person that doesn't want to have their displays of affection seen, that should do that in private
Personally, while I believe that Daniel's irresponsibility is also a big part of why Miranda left him, I also feel that she secretly was never that in love with him and was more into materialism. The fact that she so quickly went to Stu after their divorce is hinting at that. She could've tried one last time to work it out with Daniel, even marriage counseling, or via other means. I think that this was not merely about poor parenting. She also seemed to wanna control things and just not having a birthday party was a little bit too much. Yes, poor grades isn't good, but sometimes, we all do poorly in school, even if we try hard and just outright banning a birthday party wasn't right, even though Daniel didn't need to bring in the whole zoo.
More than likely, with 3 kids in the picture, there were already multiple "one last time" attempts. I don't see Miranda as any different than other parents--she wants a nice home and nice things for her kids. When she was the only one bringing home a steady paycheck, eventually the frustration would grow. They probably started out on the same page. And more than likely, Daniel probably made her laugh all the time when they were first together. But eventually, life gets serious, and someone has to pay the bills. They simply grew apart.
@@rrenee501 You make good points, but her attitude with Stu, and how so quickly after the divorce she moved on, and tried to have the kids just accept him quickly, when they hardly knew him, all the while depriving them visitation of their real father, makes me suspicious of her morals. Daniel was no angel, and had to man up, so to speak, but she also was to brazen in moving on so quickly. I feel she was attracted to Daniel but didn't truly love him. That, or she fell out of love and wanted someone more financially stable so the birthday party was the immediate event that made her want to divorce Daniel. I wish she'd tried one last time to work things out. Daniel still loved her.
@@equusamans She was too uptight at times and also seemed a bit materialistic, even though he was a manchild and irresponsible. Her vindictiveness and not wanting him to be near his kids was wrong.
@@equusamans Both were at fault imo. Daniel was an irresponsible, careless man, and she was a controlling, materialistic woman who took things too far in the end and tried to replace him with Stu for a father.
