Fun fact: the original script had Daniel and Miranda get back together, and both Sally Field and Robin both agreed that was the wrong ending as it would give kids with divorced parents false hope. They made a pact to only accept the roles if the ending was changed to Daniel and Miranda stay separated but agree to stop fighting and continue to raise their children together.

I would say the ending is more ambiguous. They didn't want to spell out an ending as you said, but he changed his ways. Usually when a problem/problems goes away a couple can reconcile. She can't just stop having feelings for him like a light switch. We will never know there was a sequel going to happen, but it's not possible now without Williams. However this wasn't a kids movie despite children being in it. I know back in the day parents let kids watch these kinds of movies, but it's not really family friendly. Many horror movies have kids in them doesn't mean kids should watch them.

@@Trollberg60north When I saw 'Manic Humor Robin' on TV shows, I simply did not 'get him'. When I saw 'Dramatic Actor Robin' I was amazed at the depth of talent he brought to the screen. When I saw 'Dramatic Actor and Comedian Robin' in Ms. Doubtfire I was blown away with the range of his talent in a role no one else could do. He played two equally powerful characters simultaneously throughout the movie where each character displayed extreme highs and lows YET Robin did not steal the show or overwhelm the other performers. This scene was the most heartbreaking because it showed the joy (doing what you love as a performer) and the heartbreak (the personal toll it takes on your family and self). One of the subplots of the movie not often mentioned is 'what happens to a family when both spouses pursue their career aspirations while simultaneously try to raise a family'. The writers struck a good and honest balance with the ending and the DVD of the movie with behind the scenes videos is well worth the purchase.

I believe it is not the point that he went through extremes to simply sneak back into the house, it is the fact that he changed, that he changed in a way Miranda always wanted and needed him to be. But Daniel can't be like that, so he created this new character to be that way without bending himself until he breaks. And yeah, this seems like mental illness, and maybe it is, maybe it is an extreme form of coping, which does not mean that this is bad. Pressuring your way back into your kids live is not neccassarely a good thing, it is often more a power play. But he gives up his whole identity to be the person the kids needed and since he did that in his own way, Miranda needed time to realise that. I also love the scene where the new boyfriend gets rescued by Daniel, who tried to play a pun on him but not to kill him so he realised he went way to far again. And the boyfriend instantly realised, that this man has given up his whole personality to be with the kids and all the terrible things he said about Daniel to Mrs. Doubtfire without even knowing Daniel. So they understand and forgive each other in that moment. There would have been so much to talk about, jelousy, how they both love the kids and the same woman, how they both did their best in absolute different ways to make them happy, how they both tried to get rid of each other and how they both have flaws to tackle. But they just say sorry and forgive each other. One would think they would rip each other apart over everything since they don't even have a bonding history together, but no. They instantly understood and forgave. Maybe that gave Daniels thoughtprosess another kickstart. I love how in this story, noone is in the wrong or a villain. Just people with issues and different ways trying to be the best they can be and for some, this is more easy than for others.

I think it’s probably because Daniel would leave the strict parenting to her, causing the children to see him as the fun dad and see her as the monster. Once she had someone else take care of the housework and instill discipline, she also showed she could be a fun mom. It’s all about the circumstances: with Daniel, she had to be the figure of authority to make up for his laid back attitude. With Mrs Doubtfire, she could relax some more and enjoy her time with her children.

The best message that the movie displays is that always put your kids first and don’t let the bitter feelings of a divorce or break up get in the way when it comes to parenting.

After about almost two years of this I decided I was going to contact my ex and tell him let’s just drop all the bs and get along for our sons sake. It’s been a year now and we get along great. Our son is thriving in school, has friends and this year we even got together to celebrate his birthday with my ex family and my sons friends. He had both his parents there supporting him and preparing a great party. It may take time but in the end doing what’s best for the children is what is most important. So many regrets if you don’t.

The thing about people (and characters) like Daniel is that they never truly change until they hit rock bottom. Here’s the difficult truth: they were both right, and they were both wrong, and that’s all because they’re too different. Miranda has had Daniels immature ways impressed on her for 14 years, he had a lot of ground to make up for and that’s why she couldn’t believe he would be a responsible parent even after the divorce, which in all reality is very likely: Daniel would have continued being the party no care dad that was his kids friend and not a father, she would have been stuck with making sure the homework and discipline and everything was done still just like their marriage. If Miranda didn’t put her foot down on things, she would have just continued enabling him. Yes, Daniel made some amazing growth, but it’s because he hit rock bottom to do it. Now all that being said, Miranda is also at fault: halfway through the movie when she comes to pick them up she can truly see the growth and changes Daniel has made, but she doesn’t give in because she’s holding on to the hurtful past and her pride. Yes, WE know she should have forgiven and let Daniel have joint custody at that point, but really how could she not think it was all a short term ruse? Her pride and pain was hard to let go of, but she did eventually realize her mistake and chose to forgive Daniel and move on. In situations like this, there are always 2 sides to a story. Neither of them are villains, they’re unfortunately victims of both their own doing and the pain they’ve caused each other.

By not knowing it was him all that time she in a sense got to meet the real him all over again. The man he became would have been someone she could have been happy with, he stepped up as a more mature and responsible adult. Daniel speech at the end of the movie acknowledges that they may never end up back together but will actually get along much better. So I'd like to think in the long run they will build a stronger relationship than what they had before. There are a few couples out there who are actually happier not being married than if they were.

@@charlieandthechocfactrules9186 yes they were married for 14 years, but Daniel never really understood what his role was. This is actually a very common problem for actors, we get so used to perfecting the roles we play professionally that we struggle to just be real people in our own lives and end up finding a role to play and stick to it whether it’s a healthy role or not. Daniel thought his role was to make his wife laugh and entertain his children when the role he needed to play was a responsible father and husband. He never really understood this and Miranda didn’t really know how to show him. By changing his role and becoming Mrs. Doubtfire, he was able to look at his wife and kids from a completely different viewpoint and was finally able to see what he was doing wrong. He needed an opportunity to see the situation in a different light and Miranda didn’t know how to give it to him. She couldn’t really give him the opportunity to be a better man because she didn’t really understand what he needed. This is ultimately a couple that couldn’t give each other what they needed cause they didn’t truly understand each other. I love that the film juxtaposed his finding his true role of father and ex husband with his perfect acting role of Mrs. Doubtfire. Finding the roles he needed in all aspects of his life is what finally puts his life in order.

My parents divorced in '98 when I was 7 and this movie really helped me cope with it, especially this scene. I always wished they got back together because that's the "happy ending". But movies like this and Liar Liar made the right choice to not force the divorced characters back together, but rather allude to a bond that allowed both parents to be there for their children.

"The only thing I know to be true in my heart is that the kids were happier when Mrs. Doubtfire was a part of their lives. She brought out the best in them. She brought out the best in you." "And you." I love how that moment, and the resolution of Mrs. Doubtfire getting the show and living on, acknowledges that even though she wasn't "real", this character that was invented by Daniel still had real value in their lives. Maybe it's a bit self-aggrandizing for Hollywood to send such a message, but it recognizes that fictional characters can be just as "real" in our lives as real people, depending on how they connect with us and what they bring out in us. The people portraying them can be affected and bring out a certain side of themselves, as well as the audience. It's a validation of Daniel's (and Robin Williams) job as an actor to create characters that provide real meaning in our lives. It's pretty much this scene and this moment that makes me really feel like Mrs. Doubtfie is the quintessential example of what Robin Williams did for the profession of acting, in creating that hip old grandma as a performance within a performance. And with it all being centered around him doing it to connect with his kids, it really captures the whole reason that we as adults perform for kids in order to entertain them and make them believe in something great or fun or magical, even if it isn't "real". The whole movie ultimately feels like a love-letter to what Robin Williams was all about, while also never feeling like it was just an ego-project or a just a star-vehicle. It all works so well, blending into a really great, meaingful movie that every family going through a divorce, or any major problems really, should see. Every time I come back to it over the years, I'm always reminded that this movie really was something special, and feel validated for it being one of my favourite movies as a kid, even though I didn't understand it on all the levels I do now.

Because she thought that Mrs Doubtfire was a person she could trust. The old woman wasn't just an employee to her. She thought the world of her. Remember when she was pouring her heart out about the failure of her marriage? My impression was that this was the first time she'd opened up to another person for longer than she could remember and it was to someone who'd hoodwinked her. It's such a violation. I'm glad they sat down and worked things out for the sake of the kids. But I don't blame Miranda for being furious about Daniel's deception when he was finally unmasked.

The part where Miranda admits that Mrs Doubtfire brought out the best of the kids and Daniel, Daniel in turn admitted that Mrs Doubtfire brought the best out of Miranda too, takes me back to the scene earlier when Miranda unknowingly tells Daniel as Mrs Doubtfire that the reason their marriage deteriorated was because Daniel was bringing the worst from her. Daniel might have initially started role playing as Mrs Doubtfire to get access to his children but hearing that confession he knew he also needed to make it up to Miranda. So readjusting to be more responsible for the the kids, himself, as well and give Miranda the chance to relax and not worry for once, Mrs Doubtfire brought the best from everyone in the family. Just wholesome that even though both Daniel and Miranda were butting heads, they acknowledged the positive influence they had despite it was a time of hurt for different reasons.

This! I’m also glad that Robin and Sally advocated for Daniel and Miranda to NOT get back together in the end because it would’ve sent some really wrong and toxic messages to both children and parents of divorces; the ending showed that it was okay that they didn’t get back together, they were ultimately better people and parents once they separated, Daniel the fun parent became more responsible, Miranda the strict parent got help with childcare and housekeeping and they became much better overall individual parents. By the end, Daniel regained trust in being a reliable co-parent while still maintaining his loving parental role while Miranda was able to come home and just enjoy time with her kids without worrying about a big mess waiting for her while still maintaining a career outside of the home. I love their character developments and their performances.

In the time that Daniel was pretending to be Mrs. Doubtfire, he learned to be responsible with his kids. He also learned that his kids can be responsible too but at the same time, enjoy being kids. So when the judge passed the verdict saying he can only have limited and supervised visits with his kids, he feels that the whole experience was for nothing. He may have started it off just so he could spend more time with them, but in the journey he learned to be a father to them rather than just being their friend.

Some lady who looks at me like I'm some sort of deviant. If I try to hug them, she wonders why." That's fucked up. It's fucked up and totally unfair.

And when we split when our second was two the first thing we said was I have them every weekend. So I get to see them every week. When I split with the second lady same again. Even though my youngest is now four and lives 40 miles away we sort it out so he stays at mine two nights a week ( fortnightly atm due to Covid but speak on the phone). I know we have so much anger when we split up with a loved one. But don’t pass the pain to the children. Children don’t need parents together they just need parents to get along and do anything to make them happy. Point scoring and using the kid as a weapon hurts everyone even if your the one doing it. So please everyone if you split with your partner and have kids don’t play stupid point scoring games do the best to get along for the kids sake.
