Paramount Movie Classics: Mrs. Doubtfire

Mrs. Doubtfire on the big screen at the Paramount
Oakland gets a warm bit of movie nostalgia on Friday, July 10, when Mrs. Doubtfire plays at Paramount Theatre Oakland.
The Paramount is half the fun here. That grand old Broadway theater has the kind of room that makes even a familiar movie feel special. Big screen, tall ceilings, glowing details, and that classic Oakland night out feeling as soon as you step inside.
Robin Williams is the reason most people remember this one, of course. His performance is fast, tender, silly, and still easy to quote. Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein, and Mara Wilson help keep the story grounded while the comedy runs wild.
This is a good pick if you want something easy to enjoy with friends, parents, grown kids, or anyone who remembers watching it on VHS. Seeing it with a crowd should bring out the laughs in a way your couch cannot.
The theater is at 2025 Broadway in downtown Oakland, close to dinner spots, bars, and BART. Make an evening of it, get there early, and let the Paramount do what it does best.
