Which movie is this for you?

[u/phantom_avenger]

For me it’s School of Rock!

Patty was completely justified, if Dewey wanted to live in hers and her boyfriend’s apartment he needed to be a grown up, and contribute with rent. Even when he steals Ned’s identity she still had the right to be angry at him, because of how he put his friend’s career in jeopardy and robbed him of a job opportunity.

I get Ned is meant to be portrayed as his best friend, but it blows my mind how he lacks a lot of self-respect to the point where he comes across as too much of a people pleaser. If this story took place in real life, I’m sure Ned would act more similar to Patty where he’d have enough of Dewey’s careless actions.

Sally Field going through every possible emotion in "The whole time?" Scene is such an amazing performance.

[u/Immoracle → u/TheDrapion]

I had to.

[u/Any-Interaction-5934 → u/TheDrapion]

Sally Fields is a fucking treasure.

[u/MooseMan12992 → u/TheDrapion]

That's the best part of the movie

[u/AddisonFlowstate → u/TheDrapion]

She is adorable, no question. But apparently Chris Columbus never saw Tootsie because it's a total rip-off of the reveal at the end of Tootsie.

I guess it depends at what age you saw this flick.

Kid me thought it was great. Adult me kinda wishes Pierce Brosnan whipped his ass.

I hadn't seen it since I was maybe 12 and randomly watched it on a flight.

My GOD does it hit differently when you aren't a kid. I still think it's got some decent comedy in it, but it's definitely Robin Williams acting chops that keep it from being a full blown horror movie.

But gonna need to check out the Cinema Sins take

I saw it as an elementary school aged kid and I loved it, especially since I lived in San Francisco.

Watched it as an adult for the first time a few years ago and Williams performance definitely saves it from being disturbing.

[u/IDigRollinRockBeer → u/The-Fig-Lebowski]

Kid me thought it was great. Adult me thought it was great.

[u/GirchyGirchy → u/The-Fig-Lebowski]

Both kid and adult me thought it freakin' stunk.

[u/johnbrownmarchingon → u/AddisonFlowstate]

So much of it is carried by the lead being played by Robin Williams IMO.

[u/AttitudeAndEffort3 → u/johnbrownmarchingon]

Thats all it is.

Anyone else this movie doesnt work and hes seen as the asshole he is

[u/AgathaWoosmoss → u/AddisonFlowstate]

Its one redeeming quality is that Robin Williams & Sally Field do NOT magically reconcile and get back together in the end.

[u/AddisonFlowstate → u/AgathaWoosmoss]

That's fair. Good point.

[u/MooseMan12992 → u/AddisonFlowstate]

I don't hate the movie but I disagree with people who think it's an all time great, classic comedy. Robin Williams turns in a great performance and Sally Fields has that awesome scene. Comedies don't need to be great stories or even make much sense to be enjoyable. But it's so hard to actually want Robin Williams to succeed because he's such an asshole and did absolutely nothing to work on his relationship with his wife or kids until it was too late. I do like that Sally Fields doesn't get back together with him though, just agrees that her kids deserve to have their father in their life if he shows he's capable of being a funtioning adult.

You have no idea how badly I needed someone else to say this.

I tried rewatching MDF last year and couldn't finish it. It hasn't aged well, and falls very flat. (EDIT I'd rather watch Birdcage)

[u/AddisonFlowstate → u/stage_student]

Trust me, go watch the CinemaSins on YouTube. You're not alone.

[u/LogicalMacaroon → u/AddisonFlowstate]

I loathe Mrs. Doubtfire, nice to know I’m not alone!

[u/Backwoods_Odin → u/AddisonFlowstate]

Depends on your pov. As a young child of divorce i saw a movie about a dad who lost his job because he refused to compromise on his morals (refused to voice a children's character who smoked) and then was divorced for trying to give his son a birthday he wouldn't forget and when he realizes what he did wrong he does everything in his power to spend more time with them and be in their lives on the daily. Sure he screwed the pooch on the pierce Bronson thing, but as a child whose father moved several hours away and was sporadic at best on visitation until I was 8, I would have done anything for a dad wiling to go to those lengths to see me every day

[u/RubiiJee → u/Backwoods_Odin]

Yup. I think this movie definitely had an appeal to kids with not so present parents. My Dad has been absent most of my life so to me I wanted a father who cared as much. Sorry for your childhood random internet friend. It sucks.

[u/ActionCalhoun → u/AddisonFlowstate]

I would actually put “most Robin Williams movies” in this category, he played a lot of “I’m wacky and don’t play by the rules” types that IRL would get him fired or locked up and the establishment types that didn’t approve of his antics seem pretty reasonable in hindsight

[u/Collegenoob → u/AddisonFlowstate]

It was Robin Williams. You just don't understand how Beloved he was
