They couldn’t make Mrs Doubtfire in this day & age - no one would believe Pierce Brosnan and Sally Field make enough money to afford a live-in nanny.

Also, they couldn’t make Mrs. Doubtfire 2. Full stop. There will never be a sequel to that magnificent gem.

I thought Pierce Brosnan's character was some sort of rich guy. I forget what Sally Field did.

Yeah, he is a rich dude, whole thing in the script about his luxury car. However Sally and Robin Williams? Absolutely could not afford that house in SF today.

There's a lot of real middle class families in SF who have a house like that...because one of their grandparents bought it in 1933 and they inherited it

Today on house hunters international...

Also Robin Williams is dead.

And then there's the whole drag thing.

It'd be spotted immediately, like Tobias as Mr. Fingerbottom.

When Maeby calls him Mr Fingerbottom he only corrects the "Mrs."

Everyone would just accept that they hired a drag queen for a nanny.
