Mrs. Doubtfire

1993 · dir. Chris Columbus · 125 min

“She makes dinner. She does windows. She reads bedtime stories. She's a blessing... in disguise.”

Loving but irresponsible dad Daniel Hillard, estranged from his exasperated spouse, is crushed by a court order allowing only weekly visits with his kids. When Daniel learns his ex needs a housekeeper, he gets the job -- disguised as a British nanny. Soon he becomes not only his children's best pal but the kind of parent he should have been from the start.
