Based on the 1993 Twentieth Century Fox film of the same title and the best-selling novel, "Alias Madame Doubtfire" by Anne Fine, MRS. DOUBTFIRE follows the journey of a struggling actor who will go to any length to be with his children after he loses custody in a bitter divorce, disguising himself as a matronly British woman and taking a job as their nanny, in his ex-wife's home.
The subject of divorce is no laughing matter, and the film nimbly tiptoes on the emotional issues faced by both the parents and their three kids when a family falls apart. The somber topic kept Mrs. Doubtfire from being more than just a fun, fluffy escapade. The hit film was widely praised for its treatment of this sensitive topic.
Much of the credit for that goes to Craig Allen Smith. He plays Daniel Hillard, an out-of-work actor who disguises himself as a Scottish nanny so he can remain close to his three kids after his divorce from their mother. Complications inevitably ensue, the wheels come off his double life, and Daniel learns a bit about parenthood and marriage along the way.
