...there's no use in continuing to look backward. It's time to cease this constant rehash of the past. It's time to create new styles, new music, new ideals, new movements...
Perhaps the main problem with "Mrs. Doubtfire,"then, lies in the fact that Williams' creation isso much more believable and likable than Daniel orany of the other "real-life" characters. Daniel inparticular is merely a rehash of the innocent,boymen Williams played without success in "Hook"and "Toys." "Mrs. Doubtfire" provides some bellylaughs but fails to carry through on the seriousmessage about family and divorce it seeks toproject in its latter scenes. Luckily, theseattempts do not inhibit the movie's comic moments,and Williams' mastery carries through despite theemotional baggage imposed...

In describing the development of life as "unplanned" and without purposeful design, the book tries to explain the forces ultimately behind evolution. It thus exceeds the bounds of observation and objectivity, and falls into the realm of subjective truth. By implying that no higher consciousness was behind the design of the universe, the book...
