Movies like Mrs. Doubtfire

In White Chicks, two FBI agents go undercover disguising themselves as two white heiresses. This comedy dives into themes of identity and offers a raucous adventure that should hit the spot for viewers who love the transformation and undercover antics in Mrs. Doubtfire.

Liar Liar's premise of a father going to extreme lengths to reconcile with his family, featuring Jim Carrey's fantastic comedic performance, strikes a chord similar to Mrs. Doubtfire. Both movies capture the essence of familial love through humor and heartfelt moments.

Starring Robin Williams, The Birdcage is about a gay couple who pretends to be straight to impress their son's conservative future in-laws. The themes of disguise and authenticity, combined with Williams’ superb performance, appeal to those who enjoy the heartfelt and comic elements of Mrs. Doubfire.

Sister Act stars Whoopi Goldberg as a singer who goes into hiding as a nun, and while she doesn't pretend to be another gender, the movie's humor from out-of-place pretending and engaging musical numbers is in line with the joyous energy found in Mrs. Doubtfire.

Tootsie features the comedic tale of an actor who, much like Robin Williams' character in Mrs. Doubtfire, transforms himself into a woman to land a job. With Dustin Hoffman in the leading role, audience who loved the disguise and role-playing in Mrs. Doubtfire will find Tootsie's take on gender roles and identity equally hilarious and insightful.

In Big Momma's House, an FBI agent goes undercover as an elderly Southern woman to protect a witness. The use of cross-dressing disguise for comedic effect and its themes of family and identity may resonate with fans of Mrs. Doubtfire's heartwarming humor.

While not involving cross-dressing, The Pacifier features Vin Diesel as a tough Navy SEAL tasked with protecting a family of children. The juxtaposition of a macho figure in a domestic, caretaker role parallels the situational comedy that drives Mrs. Doubtfire's plot.

The film revolves around a woman becoming a nanny to a wealthy family, navigating through unfamiliar territory, much like Robin Williams' character does in Mrs. Doubtfire. The Nanny Diaries covers similar themes concerning family life and childcare with a comedic touch.
