Robin Williams' charm and humor are on full display as he switches between characters, as both a father who loves his children and as an old maid named Mrs. Doubtfire, who charms his ex-wife, her new boyfriend, and their children. The late actor was always animated and energetic in his roles, and had the ability to easily put a smile on our faces and, for that, he will always be missed.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warm-hearted film about a father learning what it truly means to parent, wrapped in comedy and emotional honesty. It's funny and touching in equal measure, grounding its outlandish premise in genuine feeling about family and growth.
