Mrs. Doubtfire

Since this 534th episode of Have You Ever Seen hits the airwaves on Labour Day, it felt right to talk about a character who has FOUR different jobs in one movie. Mrs. Doubtfire is a funny film that has...well, to be honest, lost a lot of its comedic zing 30 years on, although the serious scenes still have a lot of emotional sting. This might be the most-personal movie the lovable Robin Williams ever made. He went through not 1 but 2 divorces, he "did voices", he once lived in San Francisco and he probably enjoyed racking up in-character insults at the expense of Mister Perfect Pierce Brosnan. He likely didn't wear elaborate makeup and a body suit to make people believe that he's a stern 60-year-old Englishwoman though. Sally Field doesn't get to have the fun that her "short, furry and funny" co-star does, but she's excellent in the dramatic scenes. So, my dears, avoid a run-by fruiting as Ryan breaks down Chris Columbus' wicked, wicked blockbuster all on his own.

For The Record: we've talked in the past about the fake trailers for "Shining" and "Brokeback To The Future". Well, the fake trailer that turns Mrs. Doubtfire into a horror movie is great too. Look for that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crjYYEC5drA Also, it wasn't made clear that the September 22nd episode will be Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu.
