Mrs Doubtfire was one of my favourite movies as a child, and remains that way to this day. Firstly. Robin Williams was a great actor and comedian, and he injects such magic into every movie I’ve seen him in, and none more so for me than Mrs Doubtfire.

As a child, my favourite scene was the one above. Everything from how smoothly Robin Willams transitioned from angry guy voice to the delivery of the soft ‘Broke my bag, the bastard’ of Mrs Doubtfire, to the fact Mrs Doubtfire swore had me in stitches. It is just one example of how perfect I think this movie is. Now I’m an adult, I’m more indecisive about my favourite scene, the film is hilarious and heartwarming.

Until a couple of days ago, what I wasn’t aware of that the film was inspired by a book by Anne Fine called ‘Madame Doubtfire’, so I instantly added that to my TBR, if only to see how closely the film follows it, and obviously if there’s anything I need it’s more books.
