WASHINGTON – It’s almost a wonder that “Mrs. Doubtfire” wasn’t a horror film already.

A father in the middle of a divorce is ordered to keep his distance from his children — but he can’t take no for an answer. Instead, he dresses in a woman’s clothes, has a realistic mask made, chooses an alias and an accent and becomes the nanny.

What’s so funny about that, anyway?

Check out the recut trailer below.
