After a bitter divorce, an actor, Daniel Hillard (Williams) disguises himself as a female housekeeper to spend time with his children held in custody by his former wife. 

Top Critic Review

New York Times – The dress, the mask and Mrs. Doubtfire’s gentility are inherently limiting, but nothing holds Mr. Williams back when he’s on a roll. (Source)

 

Jumanji

Jumanji (1995)

Two kids plays a magical board they found on an attic, releasing a man (Williams) trapped in it for decades. The only way to stop all dangers and harm is by finishing the game.

Top Critic Review

Boxoffice Magazine - A visually impressive and exhilarating adventure that keeps the suspense, thrills and comedy running high through the surprising end and supplies interesting characters with moving plights that keep the audience rooting. (Source)

 

Good Will Hunting (1997)

Will Hunting, a janitor at M.I.T. has a gift in mathematics found his direction in life after getting help from a psychologist, Dr. Sean Maguire (Williams).

Top Critic Review

Arizona Daily Star - The film succeeds not because of an overall arc, but as a chain of smaller moments that glimmer in their minuscule perfection. (Source)

 

Patch Adams (1998)

Based on the true story of Dr. Hunter “Patch” Adams, a misfit medical student approached healing unconventionally with fun, laughter and humour that works for patients but a headache for medical establishments.

Top Critic Review

Film.com - A perfectly fine, play-it-safe vehicle for Robin Williams that showcases both his great gift for improvisational comedy and his ability to make a heartfelt connection. (Source)

*A movie received many poor reviews from critics but truly loved by the people around the world.

 

One Hour Photo (2002)

Seymour ‘Sy’ Parrish (Williams), an employee of one-hour photo lab becomes obsessed with a young suburban family and started making copies of their photos.

Top Critic Review

Movie Metropolis - Without Robin Williams, 'One Hour Photo' is just another predictable B movie thriller. He's like that slow train wreck, personified, that people can't seem to take their eyes off. (Source)
