this movie is great and will make u lol. but some content is questionable like the language. I dont think anyone under the age of 10 should watch it. although if your child is 10 there is some questinable content but nothing to mager. and if your child is 11 unless they are not a very mature viewer then i would recomend letting them watch it.

What Parents Need to Know
About Mrs. Doubtfire
Parents need to know that as funny as this movie is, it's really about the pain of separation and divorce. Serious issues such as the perception that Daniel is a bad father because he doesn't make a lot of money, and the implied criticism of careerist mother, Miranda, are buried under a lot of padding and jokes. Kids whose families are going through divorce might find this painful in spots (particularly the separations as seen from the parental perspective). Kids who fear separation should not see this until they feel safe and secure. But some kids may find the movie helpful because it lessens feelings of being alone or unique.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the impact of divorce in families. Why is Daniel seen as too irresponsible to have custody? Do your kids think that's fair? What about the working mom -- does the fact that she works full time and makes more money than Daniel make her a "better" parent? If you are going through a divorce and have kids, sit and watch this with them. You'll laugh, you'll cry.

i love this movie!!! one of my very favorites!
i absolutly LOVE this movie! it is sweet, smart, and funny, but a little sketchy for kids. there is a ton of cussing, and some pretty innapropriate themes involving sex, marrage, and women. this is a great movie to watch with your older kids, 11 and up, not so much for the little ones!

Funny, but VERY Questionable...
I let my kids watch this without supervision, under the terms that if it got racy, they were to turn it off. I left for the store, and when I returned, they had stopped watching it. MRS. DOUBTFIRE is a decent movie with some real laugh-out-loud parts, but it is very racy. There are incountable sexual innuendos that can get raunchy, in addition to language. Recommended for old teens and adults only.

It's a really funny movie, with a serious undertone- typical of Robin Williams movies.
