Mrs. Doubtfire

She will rock your world.

Daniel Hillard , is an out-of-work voice actor with extraordinary imitative skills, whose interior decorator spouse Miranda Hillard has reached the end of her patience with their marriage due to his irresponsibility.

The breaking point is a birthday party Daniel throws for their twelve year old son Christopher a party behind Miranda's back, which includes a petting zoo and twenty children running around the Hillard household. Since Daniel has no steady source of income, Miranda gets primary custody of their three children and Daniel has visitation rights limited to Saturday evenings. The news is crushing to Daniel, who adores his children.

When Daniel learns Miranda intends to place an advertisement for a housekeeper, he requests to pick them up from school and spend time with them. The children are receptive, but Miranda nixes the idea. Daniel sabotages the ad Miranda wrote, changing the phone number, so that he is the only applicant. He calls Miranda several times, disguising his voice while pretending to be an unsuitable applicant. He finally presents the perfect applicant: a 60 year old widow from Scotland with years of experience, giving the name "Mrs. Doubtfire" after reading the news headline "Police Doubt Fire Was Accidental".

He uses his knowledge of his family's passions, bringing up storytelling to his youngest daughter Natalie and soccer to Chris, and so is quickly offered the job. As Mrs. Doubtfire, Daniel is able to see his children every day, giving him the opportunity to be the firm father figure that he wasn't formerly. He initially has the children doing chores and homework, but still finds time to join them in their favorite activities, including reading stories, soccer, and bike rides.

The difference shows in the children, and Miranda remarks that something about Mrs. Doubtfire is very familiar.

Daniel goes through a series of mishaps, including igniting his fake breasts when cooking dinner and attempting to stall his ex-wife's relationship with Stuart Dunmeyer, her new boyfriend.
