Mrs. Doubtfire: A Family Comedy

Mrs. Doubtfire

A Story of a Divorced Family

Chris, Natty, and Lydia are torn between their divorced parents. They live with their responsible mother, Miranda, but desperately miss their fun-loving father, Daniel.

Daniel, a dedicated but childish man, struggles with keeping his house clean. Miranda wants the children to stay with her due to Daniel's uncleanliness and infrequent visits.

Desperate to see his kids, Daniel devises a plan. Miranda seeks a housekeeper to care for the children and the house. Daniel, seizing the opportunity, disguises himself as Mrs. Doubtfire, a charming and capable nanny.

Mrs. Doubtfire cares for the children daily, keeping the house immaculate. However, Miranda becomes suspicious. One day, she discovers Mrs. Doubtfire's true identity, leading to a heated confrontation with Daniel.

Through this conflict, Miranda realizes Daniel's genuine desire to be with his children. They reach an understanding, allowing Daniel to spend more time with the kids without the need for a disguise. Miranda focuses on her career, while Daniel takes on more responsibility at home.
