Mrs. Doubtfire 2
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Via Freezedried Movies, we now know that Robin Williams will be dressing up as the lovable British granny Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire in Mrs. Doubtfire 2.
I know it's been years past for a sequel to be produced. In fact, I would think that many of the kids that loved Mrs. Doubtfire would be all grown up by now and have a rather diminished interest in seeing her again. Although as FDM points out, the original film did "sequeltastic" in 1993.
Williams’ first outing as Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire pocketed a sumly $219M domestically ... Robin Williams tells Sky News that he’s definitely doing “Mrs Doubtfire 2†in the near future. "There are plenty more adventures left for her, and the script could easily run to film 3 too. Fans will love itâ€, the fluffy-armed comic tells the site.Personally, I am a big fan of Robin Williams. He's a brilliantly wacky -borderline nutty- comic but is also an extremely gifted dramatic actor -Dead Poets Society still makes me weep-. Unfortunately my liking of Robin Williams simply isn't enough to justify any real excitement for another Doubtfire flick.
Daniel Hillard (Williams character) was exposed at the end of the movie. His ex-wife knew, his kids and even his ex's new boyfriend. So there is no one else to ruse, unless he is going to play a man in his late fifties who enjoys dressing up as a women in her early seventies. Of course I've been wrong in the past. What do you think?

Aaarrrgggghhh....Mr. Williams, go away! I did like that phase he went through with Death to Smoochy, Insomnia, and One Hour Photo, but please take your Patch Adam's, Good Will Huntings, Jakob the Liars and Mrs. Doubtfires out behind the shed and put them down...they are a waste of cinematic space...
*Yes, I'm a bit emotional on this*

Another Dumb idea.
Fish out of water flms like Beverly Hills Cop, Sister Act and Mrs Doubtfire should never have sequels as they are essentially one joke movies and the joke cannot be used again. Sequels to these kind of films can never be justified artistically.

I agree with Morbius. This is a terrible idea.
The first moving was charming and funny and I think a sequel would only cheapen what we have in our memories (and possibly DVD shelf).

I love Mrs. Doubtfire! But a sequel? I'd see it, but wouldn't have high expectations as far as the sequel having the same charm and hold as far as characters and story. And at the end of the first one, Mrs. Doubtfire gets his own television show for kids so, besidea his family and friends knowing his identity, so does anyone who watches that show.
