Washington Post (Rita Kempley)
And you will laugh till your ribs ache -- not because director Chris Columbus of the "Home Alone" movies has a gift for farce, which he does, but because Williams is to funny what the Energizer Bunny is to batteries. He keeps going and going and going. ...read the complete Mrs. Doubtfire movie review at Washington Post (Rita Kempley)
Empire (Caroline Westbrook)
Although the broad comedy of the first half soon gives way to a tidal wave of entirely uncalled for sentimentality, this is still a laugh riot - the sight of our hero setting fire to his falsies never fails to amuse. ...read the complete Mrs. Doubtfire movie review at Empire (Caroline Westbrook)
BBC Films (Almar Haflidason)
ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Strictly speaking, it's not a top example of movie making, but it offers two hours of undeniably solid entertainment, and not too many viewers can argue with that. ...read the complete Mrs. Doubtfire movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Entertainment Weekly (Owen Gleiberman)
Williams gives an inspired comic performance. Unfortunately, he outclasses the movie, which is basically a patchwork rip-off of Tootsie. ...read the complete Mrs. Doubtfire movie review at Entertainment Weekly (Owen Gleiberman)
ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
It seems strange to watch Mrs. Doubtfire and not see Dustin Hoffman. This is, after all, a variation on Tootsie meets Kramer vs. Kramer, both of which featured Hoffman. Here, it's Robin Williams fighting for custody of his children, while donning high hee ...read the complete Mrs. Doubtfire movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

DVD Net (Amy Flower)
You know, we've seen it all before. Man meets woman, man and woman marry, man and woman have three cutesy kids, man and woman divorce, man dresses up as woman to be with his kids... Oops, hang on a minute. ...read the complete Mrs. Doubtfire movie review at DVD Net (Amy Flower)
Time (Richard Schickel)
Most of the fun comes from seeing people fooled by what seems to us, who are in on the joke, a completely penetrable ruse. Curiously enough, what's really unpersuasive about Mrs. Doubtfire -- not to say draggy -- is its nondrag sequences. ...read the complete Mrs. Doubtfire movie review at Time (Richard Schickel)

Crazy for Cinema (Lisa Skrzyniarz)
Robin Williams may be one of the best comedians of our time, but I have to wonder about his film choices. For the most part, he has impeccable taste where drama is concerned, however, he comedy choices sorely lack the intelligent and subversive aspects ...read the complete Mrs. Doubtfire movie review at Crazy for Cinema (Lisa Skrzyniarz)
Spirituality & Practice (Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat)
TV Guide (Staff(not credited))
Daniel is so hopelessly immature, and played with such puppy-dog overkill by Williams, that it's impossible to root for him--until you meet his wife, whom Sally Field makes even less appealing. ...read the complete Mrs. Doubtfire movie review at TV Guide (Staff(not credited))
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
But the film is not as amusing as the premise, and there were long stretches when I'd had quite enough of Mrs. Doubtfire. ...read the complete Mrs. Doubtfire movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
