Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

Darius: I hated this guy. Imagine adulthood. Imagine having to parent with this ******* man child as your ******* husband. I just, anyway.

Jordan: Hey everybody, welcome to Out the Trunk with Jordan and Darius. My name is Jordan. You can find me on all socials at Jordy B Writing.

Darius: And I'm Darius. That's D's all up in your area on all socials.

Jordan: And this is our movie review segment. We're going to be reviewing Mrs. Doubtfire. This movie came out in 1993 starring the late great Robin Williams.

Darius: Were you born in 1993?

Jordan: I was born 92.

Darius: Okay. All right. It's my time in making sure it's that first movie where you were not born in.

Jordan: So it's not. He had the late great Robin Williams, RIP to a legend. Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan. He was a really good 007. Harvey Feinstein, Lisa Jacob, Matthew Lawrence and Mara Wilson. Some movies about. Robin Williams character, he's after a difficult divorce, a loving but irresponsible father loses access to his children. Desperate to be near them, he undergoes a total physical transformation, adopting the guise of an elderly, prim, British nanny to secure a job in his ex-wife's home. So I'm gonna toss it to you for act one.

Darius: Act one, we're gonna call the divorce a desperation. The father, Robin Williams, is devastated after losing custody of his children. Learning his ex-wife needs a housekeeper. He secretly creates a completely new identity and is hired for the job. Let me say off the bat, first scene, nothing dates a movie faster than seeing Smoking Indoors. Right? It's like seeing a payphone. I'm like, whoa, what?

Jordan: It's like a hate crime nowadays.

Darius: It is impossible to explain to someone, I would say 25 and under just how you pick this cigarette smoke used to be. And just how it's honestly an example of how government regulation can work. We've pretty much completely removed cigarette smoke from public spaces in a matter of what, 20 years. Yeah. You know, it existed for 100 plus years and in 20 years of laws and enforcement and regulation, we have made it so you can breathe in a restaurant again. So anyways, shout out to government, good government. But yes, Not only were there, like, it used to be the case that when you booked a hotel room, you had to specify non-smoking.

Jordan: Yeah.

Darius: When was the last time you were even asking section, you're not smoking anything. Yeah. So that's a good point. It's just weird to see everyone smoking inside.

Jordan: Right. Even your point about the payphone. I remember one time my aunt like texted us and she was like, They were on vacation somewhere and my little cousins had never seen a pay phone before and they saw one and she's like, they were so, or it was, maybe it was easily a pay phone or a phone booth. And she was like, they were like, they thought it was like a time machine or something. Like they thought it was like the coolest thing ever. Cause they'd never seen one.

Darius: Yeah. My niece didn't know what an actual like CD-ROM floppy disk thing was. Oh yeah. She was just like, I was like, well, that was thumb drives before we had them, you know, USB drives. Like it was like 5 megabytes of Which I don't even think is like 10 pictures now. It was storage to be very expensive.

Jordan: It's like one report and that's it.

Darius: Yeah, pretty much.

Jordan: No, go ahead.

Darius: What you got frag one?

Jordan: Yes, I wanted to say one. I love this movie. I love movies that use city like the backdrops of cities like as a character in the movie. And I think San Francisco is a beautiful city. My mom goes there a lot for work. travels there a lot for work. She loves it there. And I miss when movies, it's kind of throwback in the way because movies nowadays, everything's like on a set with a green screen and ****. Like nothing's outside or on location anymore. So I think it's really dope that they dope to see a movie where you can see they're actually there at the city that they're supposed to be in.

Darius: And it's San Francisco pre-tech boom. So these homes were like with regular people living. Those are multi, multi-million dollar homes now. But they exist where like working class people used to be able to afford those before, Google and Facebook and Amazon to Seattle, but all of Silicon Valley moved in. So it was it was yeah, it's it did feel lived in a way that you don't see very often. Let me just say that Robin Williams character was such a ******* loser. I hated this guy. You don't get to chase dreams when you bring children into this world.

Jordan: Yeah.

Darius: Your responsibility is to make sure that they are cared for. And you, they didn't ask to be here. You brought them here.

Jordan: You.

Darius: Don't get to chase dreams when you have children to take care of and you're not taking care of your. You're bouncing from job to job and you're doing these voiceovers and whatever. Yeah. I just.

Jordan: Which is good money. I don't know why he ****** that job up.

Darius: Yeah, he the over the scene is him quitting a job because he's some idiot. Oh, my God, my boss is me and make me do something. Okay. But like, you have children, like, you don't.

Jordan: Right.

Darius: I hated this guy. Imagine having to parent with this ******* man child as your ******* husband. I just. Anyway, what you got for act one?

Jordan: Yeah, a couple of things I want to say for act one. So obviously we talked about obviously Robin Legend, Robin Legend, Robin Williams, you know, passing him being a legend, all that. This movie is a testament to his, like, I don't know if you, how much the viewers maybe who don't know, he's like legendary for his improvisational abilities. And a lot of the classic scenes and moments in this movie were not in the script. I watched a lot of interviews where we're with, I actually saw an interview with the kids from the movie who are obviously grown up now. And they were saying like, we would do like 40, 50 takes because he would just, he never did the same thing twice ever. And I thought that, I think that's really dope. I love when actors are given the freedom to just kind of create and play and stuff like that in movies. And the directors are not so much of an egomaniac where they will keep those takes, you know. So I wanted to shout out him for that. Also, pretty much everybody who's ever worked with Robin Williams has like a story of him just being unfeelingly kind and looking out for them without them knowing in a way. Like the oldest daughter in the movie, she was in high school and she missed a lot of school obviously to shoot the movie. And her school was like, when you come back, we're going to actually expel you because you missed so much time. And he hand wrote a letter to the principal of the school and was like, hey, like, can you not? The school actually framed the letter and put it in the principal's office and still expelled her anyway, which is kind of * **** ****. But just a testament to his character as a person. Yeah.

Darius: The school made the right decision. You didn't, you didn't, you weren't in school. I don't care if you were climbing on set, but that's not.

Jordan: Well, so they have school on set, they had to do 3 hours a day. But because she's in Canada, I guess their rules are maybe a little different. I don't know.

Darius: As an administrator of the school, I signed this paper saying you completed the coursework and you graduate when you didn't. No. I mean, I don't know how it all worked, but no care. Wherever you were, that's fine. That's between you and your parents. We'll go get your coursework from wherever you were. But you weren't in my school under my care. So no, I can't say that you graduated when you... I don't know. It wasn't a registration.

Jordan: They just didn't, they just like didn't let her go back to school after she finished the movie, which I think is kind of crazy. But and even Ethan Hawke, who was in Dead Poets Society with Robin Williams when he was a young actor. Robin actually gave him his agent, who I think he might have said he still has or had for a long time after that. So just want to shout out Robin Williams, gone too soon. And he's one of my favorite retainers ever. So I wanted to give him his flowers.

Darius: Likewise, obviously gone way too soon under tragic circumstances. And the stories about his kindness and generosity are boundless.

Jordan: Yeah.

Darius: For sure. I'm just saying in defense of that school administrator, okay, you have a letter from Robin Williams. That's great. Did you pass the class? I'm sure he's a great guy. I will certainly, dear and dear to my heart, but you weren't here. I don't know what you were doing.

Jordan: I mean, they knew she was on set. It wasn't like she was playing hooky.

Darius: Okay.

Jordan: But yeah, Also wanted to shout out the director of this movie, Chris Columbus. He wrote Gremlins. He also wrote a couple other big 80s movies. He was kind of a steward of John Hughes. He wrote like, and who directed 16 Candles and Breakfast Club and you know, all those classic 80s movies. He also, Chris Columbus directed the first two Harry Potter movies. So I will always have love for him just for that alone. And he did the first two Home Alones as well. So shout out him also another legend.

Darius: Home Alones, good movies.

Jordan: Yes, great movies.

Darius: Prime example of a nineties movie that would be ruined if everyone had cell phones.

Jordan: If everyone had phones. Yeah. Yep.

Darius: Whole premise falls apart. So.

Jordan: Yep. Hey, man, you forgot me. Yeah. Oh, ****.

Darius: You got an Uber to the airport? Yeah, yeah, sure.

Jordan: I'll send you the. All right. Let's look you a quick flight.

Darius: Yeah. What you got for act one?

Jordan: It's funny because watching this movie as a kid versus watching as adult, it is such a different experience.

Darius: I have that note here.

Jordan: When I was a kid, I was like, I mean, I definitely have more empathy for the mother now as an adult because he was able to quit those jobs because she was so stable in her job. And she had to be so serious because he was so unserious and lackadaisical. I mean, I have issues with some of the things she did throughout the movie, which I'll get to later. But yeah, definitely like as a kid, I was like, I don't, why are you divorcing him for throwing a party yet?

Darius: I didn't get off of work. You were at work pitching some big client and then your assistant calls in the room and was like, Hey, the cops are there's an emergency when you get home and there's ******* barn animals in your living room. My other favorite thing, and this is jumping around a little bit, like she divorces the loser and like she, this is way later in the movie, but like she comes over to visitation and he's like, he cooked spaghetti. And she's just like, my God, he's so grown up. Forty something year old man with three children and he makes a pot of spaghetti. And everyone's just like, oh man, look at all this maturity. We like the violin started playing and it was like, oh, it's like you got to be ******* kidding me. It's the first time he's ever cooked for his children and he took a divorce.

Jordan: You're right, he was a loser as a father. And the fact that you just wrote from the whole movie, and you're like, that ***** wanted to take his kids from him.

Darius: He's in court, like, I just need my kids. And the judge is like, well, get a job, dude. Like, what are you talking about? You live in a ******* barn and you don't, you're unemployed. And I'm supposed to take them out of their stable home with the wife that makes all the money and has the house. Okay. Yeah. Question for you, Rag one. Let's get back on track. Would audience would audiences be able to suspend belief enough if the movie was released today? Because it requires a quite a bit of a suspension of belief. Right.

Jordan: If you come out today, would audience be able to? No. Yeah, I'd say no, because, like, who do you know that's going to do makeup and you like that? Like, you know what I mean?

Darius: It would almost have to be an animated movie to pass.

Jordan: Yeah, I think so.

Darius: Or just so over the top silly, like a Medea type movie.

Jordan: Yeah, I was going to say, yeah, like a flubber or **** like the clumps or something, you know, something like that. Another Professor type ****.

Darius: The audience would have to be in on the joke in a way that this movie was like, this movie was serious. Was serious. Yeah, it wasn't. You're supposed to believe that he was convincingly tricking these people. And you do, at least at the time. But now, now I'm like, this guy clearly.

Jordan: It's clearly him. It looks like him.

Darius: But like, you know, I mean, the 90s was everyone's a bit more cut off. It was less connected. So you could actually believe that. First of all, it wasn't like a man wearing makeup and a dress was like not as socially acceptable as it is now. It speaks to desperation. Correct. And you wouldn't even, it would never occur to you that a man would be in that dress because it's 1993. Whereas now if You saw a man in a dress out in a bowling alley, it would be unremarkable. Yeah, you'd be like, okay, you might remark at it, but it would not be like, you'd.

Jordan: Be focused on like, I want to make sure I get their pronouns right, as opposed to being shocked by the side of it.

Darius: Correct. You would fumble through the right things to say, but you would not be like completely blown away at the fact that it exists.

Jordan: Correct. Yeah. That's a good point. So I did want to ask you, obviously, so she comes home and she's mad and they're having an argument and she's like, she says like, I get a cake and buy some gifts or whatever she had bought for her son and you throw a party. And she's like, I say this and you do that. And I don't mean, she wasn't highlighting that he was undermining her, which he was. I felt like she almost was saying that she felt like she was in competition with him for the kid's affection. So I want to ask you, did you did you get that sense as well as to? Because there was a lot of animals she had for him, justifiably so. But I think some of it was competition as well. Yeah, I mean, kind of admiration.

Darius: Kids don't like vegetables and no one likes the parent that makes you eat vegetables. Everyone likes the parent that throws a party. It doesn't care about your grades. It doesn't make sure that you just live off of your teeth and floss. Yeah. And, you know, says witty characters for a living. it's easy to be fun when you don't have a job that stresses you out because you just quit because it's annoying and you just get to come home and throw parties with, you don't have to worry about who's paying the mortgage and you just get to read funny characters and the kids love you because they don't have to balance a checkbook. They don't have a boss at work. They don't have to deal with the police outside because you violated several statutes with barn animals.

Jordan: City ordinances.

Darius: But what I've noticed with parents like that, though, is that as the kids grow and they mature, they begin to resent the parent that never set boundaries.

Jordan: Yeah.

Darius: And the parent that the grown-up parent, they start to see it from their view more. Because kids want structure, kids want structure, kids want boundaries, kids want rules. And they just don't know they wanted it until, you know, it's too late.

Jordan: Right. Or until they don't have it.

Darius: Right. And like I said, man, he had the easiest job in the world, which was just Chuck E. Cheese. So Chuck E. Cheese. Yeah. Anyone can be a great parent when your only job is to take them to Chuck E. Cheese, you know? So, right. but she certainly felt in competition with him because she's, it's a little bit, in a way, it's a little bit like politics, right? voters vote for Republicans when they want to go to dad's house for a weekend and eat candy and shoot guns and drive real fast and, say bad words on a podcast and da da da da. But they, Monday comes around and kind of vote like.

Jordan: You need public parking that's free. You need to pay your taxes.

Darius: You want to go to the doctor, you want to go to school, you want safety.

Jordan: You need that insurance, that's revised you by the Affordable Care Act.

Darius: They vote for Democrats when they want a mom, when they want someone to make sure they eat their vegetables, when they make sure they can go to the doctor and make sure that their school works in line. And that's the yin and the yang of politics is that, you know, you see that in this household where it's like, The kids are voting for the Republican dad right now because he lets them go camping on weekends and shoot guns and eat candy and throw parties. But sooner or later, they're going to be like, okay, but like my stomach hurts. Can you take me to the doctor? Yeah, he's going to be out of the doctor. You don't have no money. I ain't got no doctor money. Yeah, look, I'm just here to have fun. You know, free market. Yeah. That's what you got for you.

Jordan: Yeah. So there's a scene where she comes to his house for the first time and she picks up the kids and she, he said she got there, dropped them off an hour late and she's there to pick them up an hour early. Did you feel like she was being petty doing that? Or did you worry or were you on her side when she was doing that?

Darius: No, that I was not on her side with because the rules are the rules. They are his children. And do I think she was being intentionally petty? No, I just think that she She didn't value his time as a parent at all because he just he was her fourth child. You know, he didn't she didn't see him as a co-parent. So like the idea that his time with his children will be valuable to her was just not something that ever occurred in her mind. Right. And so she's thinking like, why do you want a more time? Don't you know, don't you want to go do something? Child like this is responsibility. You don't want that, you know? So, yeah. I just don't think she ever took him serious, nor should she, because he didn't take himself seriously.

Jordan: So true.

Darius: Yeah.

Jordan: Well, that's one of the only thing with my one of my issues with her was because it's like, okay, well, unless this guy drastically changed and turned into class clown, he was this when you married him. So how much of this did you sign up for? Now you're just mad that you somewhat that someone gave you the pin.

Darius: Yeah. I see that often. Like there was this. story about this, like this thread on one of those sites where the guy was like, the women were like, my husband eats up all of my leftovers and he's not considerate and da da da da da. And every time I read that, I'm like, it's just hard for me to believe that there was, he got married and then a month later he just became this inconsiderate. Like it's hard.

Jordan: Right.

Darius: People don't hide it for that long. She probably thought he was fun and he's funny and I'm sure he was a blast to date before the kids came around. He's all, always on his adventures and so on and so forth. And that's why you don't select, you have to, obviously there should be some passion and some fun involved in all that, but that stuff fades and you need to have solid underlying fundamentals when you're selecting a life partner because you know, you just can't always select for fun. So, no, I mean, I disagree with her the way she handled the visitation. She was inappropriate for that.

Jordan: Yeah, I hate that.

Darius: That's about the only time I sided with him over her. So you want to get his act too? Yeah. Our act two, the double life and the competition. Living his dual life, the disguised father connects with his children while learning essential life skills. A new relationship in his ex-wife's life causes complications and jealousy. For the audience, if you're one of the five people on earth who hasn't seen this movie yet, the wife needs a nanny for the kids 'cause obviously her fourth child moved out and he decides to dress up as the nanny so he could spend time with his children while a noble pursuit. This is now I'm editorializing. But what an insane invasion of privacy and a violation of trust. Yeah, he was tripping. He was tripping.

Jordan: Honestly, I didn't realize how much a violation of privacy it was until watching it today and yesterday. Cause like, I was like, you know, they had really personal, intimate conversations as like friends.

Darius: Yeah. She's talking about a sex life and all kinds of ****.

Jordan: Yeah. As a kid, you just didn't really, it didn't register with me like that, watching the movie. And you just, yeah, no, that actually was crazy. I think that's the thing she was most ****** about when she found out. Oh, that's actually, we'll go to that later. But yeah, no, that's a good point. Yeah.

Darius: And she's, and he's using the Catwoman costume to like be the parent, the hard parent he couldn't be to the children. And God, this guy is just a piece of work, man. He just like, Be a ******* man. Put on your, if your kids need a stern hand and some discipline, as a man, provide that. Don't dress up in a costume to pretend to be someone else to make them do their homework. You're just, he's just a pathetic excuse of a man. Just a disgusting, pathetic excuse of a man. But I will say I laughed at the social worker scene with the cream falling in the coffee. That was actually quite funny.

Jordan: It was not one of the things that was not in the script.

Darius: It wasn't.

Jordan: I read apparently the, no, the mask was real. But the melting part was not. So the heat lights for the camera were so hot that it was just melting off. And so that just actually happened. And he just rolled with it and was like, oh, well, look, 3 lumps.

Darius: That's funny because I was like, that's disgusting. That's the one scene where I'm like, It's tough for me to suspend belief here. Like she really doesn't know anything's up. Like she never sees them in the same room together. This sister is 40 years older than him. And like he's literally like in scene and he leaves and he changes and he comes back.

Jordan: It's like Superman and ****. Like Clark, where'd you go?

Darius: You're straining credulity here. But I stuck with it. was, I laughed really, really hard at that scene.

Jordan: No, I actually forgot how funny this movie was. Robin Williams is the ******* goat man. Also, like, that's one of my favorite GIFs to use of all time is where he opens, where he pops his head up with the cake face. Hello.

Darius: And then the mask falls off the thing and.

Jordan: Oh, and the truck runs over it.

Darius: The kids there. Yeah. That was, that was hysterical. Yeah. Also a little weird. Talk about evasion of privacy. Why is the court like assigning him a babysitter? to, like, check it.

Jordan: That was crazy.

Darius: He was a danger to the children. He wasn't abusive. He just was a loser. Yeah.

Jordan: And I think that was my biggest issue with the wife, because, like, you letting them think all this crazy **** about him and, you know, that man was not a danger to those kids.

Darius: Not a danger. No, but yeah, you know.

Jordan: Like, if you were to say negligent. I'd maybe hear you out but he was not a dangerous to those kids.

Darius: No but like the first meal he ever cooked for them was like Chinese takeout that's spaghetti like I don't know like I don't think yeah I don't think.

Jordan: That's actually crazy that you're 40 and can't cook.

Darius: I don't think that the parent that I don't think it's fair to her that he gets to be the fun parent so I think it's totally fair I agree that she can be honest about him to her children like this is not Don't lie. Don't say that he's something that he's not, but don't lie the other way either. Don't sugarcoat it, you know.

Jordan: I get that. I'm just not in favor of when parents do the whole **** talking one, the other parent to the kids. I just don't think that's ever good. And also kids grow up and they see eventually kids will realize, okay, maybe both were wrong or okay, this parent was actually the problem and we thought it was this parent the whole time, stuff like that.

Darius: So I say you have some level of empathy for him. May I ask why?

Jordan: I mean, I think I just love the movie and love Ron Williams so much. I think he just did such a good job of, I guess, because he wasn't malicious and it wasn't I don't think that he was set out to make her like I feel like okay in Crooklyn like the dad Woody sucked right yes but he was kind of I feel like he was kind of out to make her to be the bad guy you know what I mean because he like wouldn't work and he wouldn't play music to make money I don't I just in this situation I don't think that he set out to do the things that were hurting his family.

Darius: I think it was a prime example of what people like to call this weaponized incompetence. It's when husbands pretend like they they're incompetent because they know their wives will just get sick of it and just do it. And you are not incapable.

Jordan: I mean, he definitely needed to grow up for sure.

Darius: Understatement of the year. You're not incapable of No, that was insane. And then you throw a party. And then, oh, but I love my kids. Okay. But you're not their friend. You're their parent. And he weaponized his incompetence in ways that made her look like the ***** to the kids. And that's just a heavy burden to carry. He's selfish. He's selfish as all. Everything he does is prioritizing what he wants. I mean, I can't remember a time watching the movie where he put someone else's needs before his own. I just can't recall. I mean, yeah, you just. I hated this character.

Jordan: So do you think Mrs. Doubtfire forced him to adapt or do you think that was in him all along?

Darius: I think it was in him all along. It's just he never had to use it because I guess by definition, that means it's forcing him to adapt. So yeah, I mean, people change. But just to me, it's unbecoming of a man that it took all of this.

Jordan: No, I agree 100%.

Darius: You had to lose everything and get divorced and lose visitation of your kids to grow up.

Jordan: Yeah, this wasn't. This wasn't insecure where like, people say like, she that was part of his character development. He needed that arc to motivate himself, so on and so forth. This was not that. And I think that the argument is ******** but this was not that.

Darius: But furthermore, man, you got children now. Yeah. Lawrence ain't handle kids. You can't you can't quit your job until the fifth season, but you know what I mean?

Jordan: Like, yeah.

Darius: When you have children, it's not about you anymore.

Jordan: Right.

Darius: It's just not. You don't get to prioritize your needs when you make decisions when you have children that's not to say that you always have to be on the back burner but time to grow up and grow fast when the kids start showing up I just don't have a lot of yeah.

Jordan: Bro you gotta put your **** together or have your **** together.

Darius: So I have a lot of sympathy for it when you when these kids are depending on you and you're just not showing up for them or not giving them what they need you're giving them candy and every kid wants candy but you're not giving them the tools they have to be productive adults right yeah anything else Rack 2.

Jordan: Oh, yeah. When I just love how one thing he was going to do was openly hate on Stu.

Darius: Yeah.

Jordan: The new boyfriend.

Darius: Yeah.

Jordan: Where he just be like, Oh, are you overcompensating or damn, your skin is ****** ** or throwing the orange at him at the pool.

Darius: I'm Team Stu.

Jordan: No, I get you. I get it. Yeah. He was he was the father that they that they should have had.

Darius: Yeah, he's an adult.

Jordan: Yeah.

Darius: Robin Williams is just another. He was a fourth child. And so. when he's at the drink place or the iced teas, and he's just like dismissing, he's just like, the guy is just a loser. And it's just like, I felt that in my soul, like this beautiful woman with three great kids was just wasting her time with this complete utter waste of human space. It's just a gross, pathetic excuse of a man. And I felt his disgust when he said that at the moment. He was, he was very just like, he wasn't playing Captain Sabahoe or nothing. He just was just like, no, to be that grown and to have three children in this world and to just.

Jordan: And not be working and just have no obligation to cook, have no.

Darius: Sense of duty to them, to know, to know.

Jordan: Yeah.

Darius: No sense of duty to your role as a provider, as a protector, as someone to shepherd these children into adulthood. I just found it to be distasteful. Yeah.

Jordan: So I want to ask you, what did you think about the conversation that Mrs. Doubtfire had with Sally Field's character about, like, what actually happened in their marriage.

Darius: Where she was like, go ahead. Sorry.

Jordan: Where she was kind of like, you know, at first I was cool with the fun that she kind of was like, then I was serious enough for everybody. And then he couldn't be serious at all. And then she kind of said, like, I didn't like who I was with him, so on and so forth. And you can kind of see him realizing like, damn, I really ****** **. What do you think about that conversation?

Darius: Again, violation of trust and privacy.

Jordan: Yeah.

Darius: But no, I mean, I thought that was probably the first time she'd ever been honest with him.

Jordan: Right.

Darius: And you could say she never said that to him, but what do you, what was he ever, when was he ever an adult to receive that conversation?

Jordan: Right.

Darius: And she probably did say it to him in so many ways.

Jordan: In certain ways.

Darius: Yeah, like these things don't blow up like the movie. Like she came home and there was a, and she just a party and she screamed like she had been hinting at this for a long time. And he just wasn't listening because he wanted to play with balloon animals or whatever he was doing at the time. And so I thought that conversation was quite poignant. It was movie magic.

Jordan: Yeah.

Darius: But I mean, clearly she still loved the guy, but he just was like, she just needed a grown up that he wasn't willing to.

Jordan: Yeah, I think she loved him. I think she just stopped liking him and certainly respecting him, which is valid.

Darius: And once they stop respecting you, it's a wrap. Yeah, it's over. All right. Act 3, the unmasking and the resolution. The father's secret identity is finally exposed during a chaotic evening with his family and new friends. The family must then navigate a new reality following the fallout of the deception. This is where I put my note. It's a good movie to watch as an adult versus a child. Because again, as a child, you're just rooting for
