Synopsis

Unemployed actor, Daniel Hillard, loses custody of his three children after a messy divorce from his wife, Miranda. Desperate to connect with his children, he creates the alter ego of Euphegenia Doubtfire, the picture-perfect Scottish nanny. Unaware of Mrs. Doubtfire’s true identity, Miranda hires Doutbfire to take care of the children. As his alter ego begins to take on a life of her own, Daniel learns more than he bargained for about fathering from Mrs. Doubtfire. From the writing team behind Something Rotten (2014), Mrs. Doubtfire is a smash hit comedy filled with lots of love and laughter!
